The NBA trade deadline on Feb. 6 could be a pivotal moment for the Milwaukee Bucks, especially when it comes to Khris Middleton’s future with the team. Historically, Milwaukee’s front office has been clear: they would only consider moving Middleton if the deal involved acquiring a star like Jimmy Butler.

The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly expected to make some big names available in an effort to land a major contributor before the Feb. 6 NBA trade

With the turnaround they’ve had in 2024-25, Milwaukee is being active on the trade market. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported that Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis are available for trade. Windhorst noted that the Bucks want an “impact player” in return. Will Milwaukee get a trade done before the deadline on February 6?

The Heat, Pistons, Wizards, and Raptors are all listed as teams that could be a good fit for Middleton. All of those teams need a veteran guy who can help a younger team thrive, except maybe Miami.

The Bucks have been active this trade season, sources said, with Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis and Pat Connaughton all expected to be available in potential moves to bring back an impact player.

The Milwaukee Bucks have some difficult decisions to make surrounding Khris Middleton as they balance sentiment and pragmatism.

According to NBA insiders Tim Bontemps and Brian Windhorst of ESPN, the Milwaukee Bucks are open to trading Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis and Pat Connaughton.
