Milwaukee needs more offensive firepower, though. Khris Middleton is sadly over the hill. The Bucks have also been looking to move Bobby Portis. Finding a deal for Middelton and Portis could involve acquiring a superstar from the Chicago Bulls, according to a brand new report from Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley.

After a slow start to the season, the Milwaukee Bucks are 26-19 and own the No. 4 seed in the East just a week until the trade deadline. Though their roster looks poised for a playoff run as is, the Bucks are a team to monitor in the trade market.

The Milwaukee Bucks are currently the fourth team in the East, but they know it’ll take a lot of work to crack the top three, especially with how fierce the competition is this year. That means they are willing to make a splash before the upcoming trade deadline and improve their roster.

LaVine is having one of his best seasons, averaging 24 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game while shooting a scorching 44.6 percent from three and 56 percent inside the arc. Those numbers aren’t empty calories—he’s an elite shot-maker who could provide exactly what Milwaukee needs.

All reports indicate that the Bucks are willing to shake up their roster to prepare for a deep playoff run. Khris Middleton is fully on the table, as are Bobby Portis Jr. and Pat Connaughton.

While the Milwaukee Bucks would love to upgrade their roster via a trade heading into deadline season, there's a major problem with any deal coming to fruition.

In this new trade proposal, the Bucks do land an All-Star, grabbing Zach LaVine from the rival Chicago Bulls. The deal would be a three-team trade between the Bucks, Bulls, and Detroit Pistons. Using the Spotrac trade machine and abiding by CBA rules, here is what the deal could look like:
