The Milwaukee Bucks have been involved in many trade rumors ahead of the trade deadline on Thursday. There are a lot of ways that general manager Jon Horst could head in.

With the Bucks having a 26-22 record this season, it may appear as if they are not a title contender this season but they may want to get better for the long haul around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. Milwaukee could be one of the favorites to land Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat or Bradley Beal from the Phoenix Suns.
Milwaukee Bucks Interested In Washington Wizards Kyle Kuzma Ahead Of Thursday’s Deadline

The Milwaukee Bucks are looking for reliable third options on the roster for the foreseeable future. One player that NBA insider Jake Fischer mentioned for the Bucks to go after is Washington Wizards player Kyle Kuzma. Fischer said:
“The Mavericks are not pursuing Butler or Durant, according to league sources, although Dallas is definitely not done looking for upgrades on the trade market after acquiring Anthony Davis. This has led many league observers to suggest that a Butler deal, at this juncture, is as likely to involve the Warriors or the Milwaukee Bucks as the Suns finally getting him.Yet there has been little fresh chatter on Milwaukee’s pursuit of Butler in recent days. Sources with knowledge of the situation have relayed that the Bucks have more recently had conversations about pursuing Washington’s Kyle Kuzma.”
The Washington Wizards have an 8-41 record this season and have the worst record in the NBA. This season, Kyle Kuzma is averaging 15.2 PPG, 5.8 RPG, and 2.5 APG, along with shooting 42.0 percent from the field. This would be a very good addition for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Potential Trade Chips

In a trade for Kyle Kuzma, there is a chance that the Washington Wizards are looking to unload contracts. There is a world where the Milwaukee Bucks trade Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez for Kuzma and Jonas Valanciunas. It would certainly improve the roster immediately.
Kuzma is 29 years old and is also younger than Middleton. There is also a heavy market for the Washington Wizards player ahead of the NBA trade deadline and one team that could trade for him is the Los Angeles Lakers.
