Could the Bucks land Jeramie Grant, Robert Williams III in a big trade?
Trade rumors continue to surface as the NBA approaches the annual February deadline. One of the teams expected to be busy working the phone lines in the coming weeks is Milwaukee Bucks.
It’s no secret that it is Bucks try to quell trade rumors surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo. The star striker has maintained that he wants to focus on their campaign, even supposedly encouraging his teammates to exclude external noise.
Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints reported that Milwaukee is trying add more talentmaybe to appease Antetokounmpo. Siegel noted that the Bucks could make the call Portland Trail Blazers again for a possible deal for Jerami Grant and Robert Williams III.
“Some believe the Bucks, who already have a working relationship with Portland dating back to their Damian Lillard trade, have a path to land both Grant and Robert Williams III as impactful additions at the trade deadline to improve the team on both ends,” Siegel wrote.
He added that the Bucks have enough resources to make it happen.
“Between Bobby Portis, Kyle Kuzma and another smaller contract, Milwaukee has the flexibility to pull off such a trade for two veteran Blazers,” Siegel said.
Grant, who is averaging 20 points this season, could be an upgrade from Kuzma, while Williams is a better rim protector than Portis.
The Bucks are struggling with a 12-18 record, which puts them in 11th place in the Eastern Conference. Antetokounmpo has been sidelined since Dec. 3 with a soleus injury.
Meanwhile, Siegel noted that Corey Kispert of the Washington Wizards and Miami Heat’s Andrew Wiggins has also been linked to the Bucks.
