Sacramento Kings spark trade rumors with bold Zach LaVine proposal to Milwaukee Bucks
As the February trade deadline approaches, speculation swirls around the future of two-time All-Star Zach LaVine with the Sacramento Kings. While it wouldn’t be surprising to see LaVine traded, the question remains: which team would be willing to take on his hefty contract? Despite his undeniable talent, LaVine has faced scrutiny this season for inconsistency and effort, raising concerns among potential suitors.
Bucks show interest in LaVine
One team that has reportedly expressed interest is the Milwaukee Bucks. According to sources, the Bucks have undertaken “background due diligence” on LaVine, suggesting they may be exploring ways to bolster their roster. With Giannis Antetokounmpo at the helm, Milwaukee is keen on maintaining a competitive edge, and acquiring another star could be pivotal in keeping their franchise player satisfied and engaged.
Proposed trade scenario
In light of this interest, Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley has put forth a hypothetical trade scenario that could see LaVine donning a Bucks jersey. The proposed deal would have the Kings receiving a mix of role players, including:
Bobby Portis
Kyle Kuzma
Gary Harris
Cole Anthony
A first-round pick in 2031
Conversely, the Bucks would land LaVine along with Keon Ellis, further solidifying their offensive arsenal.
As discussions intensify around this potential blockbuster, all eyes will be on how the Kings navigate LaVine’s future and whether the Bucks will make a move to bring him into their fold. The next few months promise to be a critical period for both franchises as they aim to maximize their competitive trajectories.
