Breaking down and grading 10 trade proposals from the Milwaukee Bucks fanbase

Via - @Uncle__Jrue

Everyone wants to see the Bucks get more versatile on the defensive side of the ball. This would help.

Chris Boucher is a 6-foot-10 big man who can play many different positions. He's not a needle-tipper on defense, but he can provide fine shot-blocking down low. On offense, he's a decent perimeter shooter, so he'd fit in with Milwaukee's tradition of wanting floor-stretching big men.

Meanwhile, Thybulle is the type of defensive-minded wing this team needs. At 6-foot-5, he's capable of guarding an assortment of different players while being extremely switchable. He's never been an offensive player, but the Bucks need a player who can provide assistance defensively above all else.

The inclusion of a 2028 first-rounder coming to Milwaukee is an eyebrow-raiser. In all likelihood, that would not be a part of a deal with this type of framework. Given how much of a slump most of these outgoing players on Milwaukee's end have struggled this season, getting a pick back is unlikely.

Looking at the players leaving, it's a similar package to the last deal in the sense that Milwaukee's bench would lose a good chunk of its depth. Yet, Thybulle and Boucher could be nice newcomers to replenish Milwaukee's wing and big man depth.

From Toronto's POV, Boucher hasn't played a big role this year, so perhaps they would be fine with moving him. Is he worth an experienced veteran and a young sharpshooter? It's not the worst deal they could potentially get for the 30-year-old.

As for Portland, they likely wouldn't do this. Thybulle is a promising young player who fits their roster and timeline better than Portis right now. They likely wouldn't love the idea of packaging him with a first round pick as well as they rebuild following the Damian Lillard trade.

Perhaps taking out the first rounder could help, but even then, it's up in the air.
