The NBA trade deadline is coming right up on Thursday, which means it’s high time for speculations to come out. One rumor that has been floated is the Milwaukee Bucks’ attempt at checking out the potential of a Bobby Portis trade to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for fellow former SEC star Grant Williams.
Fans don’t seem to feel so good about such a trade, with many thinking it is a losing scenario for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Fans Voice Out Takes On Potential Milwaukee Bucks Trade Involving Bobby Portis

“Bucks would become worse,” posted X user @rjeffersonhair.
“Why would the Bucks do this?” asked a seemingly confused @HyabBerhane.
From @Reggielegendary: “Why would Bucks do this?! Bucks issue is they don’t have Jrue anymore. Jrue ain’t Dame on offense but Dame is so bad defensively. Bucks shoulda looked for a move to improve backcourt scoring while keeping Jrue.”
“Resident Milwaukee fan, don’t like this at all,” chimed in @jaredrblock.
“mid for mid swap,” according to @BronGotGame.
Those who believe that the Milwaukee Bucks shouldn’t pursue this trade have numbers to stand on. For one, Portis is way ahead of Williams this season in terms of win shares and win shares per 48 minutes. Portis is also ahead of Williams when it comes to rebounding in a per-game basis and advanced stats.
That said, Williams is a controllable asset until at least the end of the 2026-27 season while Portis can be a free agent as early as 2025 when he will have to decide on a $13.445 million player option for the 2025-26 campaign.
