6 Bucks at risk of being traded this summer

4. Pat Connaughton

The 31-year-old is under contract through 2026, although the final isn't guaranteed, as it includes a player option. It's entirely possible that he opts out, in pursuit of a long-term deal.

In that regard, Connaughton has just one year remaining on his deal, presenting value as a shooter who is essentially on an expiring deal worth $9.4 million in 2024-25. The Bucks would have to give that strong consideration.

Pat Connaughton has been one of the Bucks' best reserves, while also being one of the best shooters on the team. Connaughton has made over 39 percent of his threes on three attempts per contest, while also shooting 61.8 percent true shooting.

3. Bobby Portis

Bobby Portis salvaged his NBA career in the Cream City, as he had been a bit of a journeyman prior to arriving in Milwaukee. The 29-year-old played on three different teams in the calendar year prior to him joining the Bucks.

In his four years in Milwaukee, he's become a fan favorite, and it's easy to understand why. He's been a steady postseason contributor (9.6 points and 8.2 rebounds in the 2023 postseason and 10.6 points and 10 rebounds in the 2022 postseason) and he never backs down from any opponent in any situation. 

He also always stands up for his teammates. He's the perfect culture guy.

However, his salary makes him the perfect trade candidate, as he makes $12.6 million in 2024-25. He holds a player option in 2025-26, which he will certainly be declining, for a multi-year contract.

In this regard, he presents value as an expiring who has championship experience.
