With the Milwaukee Bucks scouring the market for trade targets, could they have any success with the NBA’s Atlantic Division?

There has been no shortage of names thrown into the mix regarding the Milwaukee Bucks’ desire to make some roster upgrades this offseason.

Steadily ranking potential trade candidates from each of the NBA’s six divisions, today’s discussion topic is the Atlantic Division. Consisting of the Brooklyn Nets, Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors, New York Knicks, and Philadelphia 76ers, the group has a plethora of intriguing options.

The Atlantic Division poses some predicaments for the Milwaukee Bucks, as several teams involved are among their biggest competitors within the conference. That level of competitiveness likely limits any potential chatter between the Bucks and any of those opposing organizations right off the bat.

This inner conference rivalry has surely been the case in recent memory, as any trades between the Bucks and the Atlantic Division have been scarce. A move sending Rashad Vaughn and a second round draft pick to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Tyler Zeller in 2018 is the exception, but that was not exactly game changing.

Regardless, with no NBA trades being made in over eight months and counting, teams will likely be anxious to begin making moves again. With recent reports indicating that next season will begin next month, there will be an amplified sense of urgency for teams. While that does not guarantee any deals between the Bucks and their Atlantic Division foes, perhaps these unusual circumstances could break the cycle.

Whether that is the case or not, here are three possible trade targets for the Milwaukee Bucks from the NBA’s Atlantic Division.
