Possible help

DeAndre Jordan was supposedly being shopped around by the Los Angeles Clippers, but the price will be too high for the Bucks. There is a chance they may be interested in Zaza Pachulia or JaVale McGee if they can strike a good bargain with the Golden State Warriors, but those options seem unlikely.

Andrew Bogut, currently with the Los Angeles Lakers, would be a tremendous fit. The Bucks are young, with one or two exceptions, and they need a big man presence. The second unit would be harder to score against.

The Bucks are not going to get a star, but trading with the Sacramento Kings for Kosta Koufos or with the Minnesota Timberwolves for Cole Aldrich would help with the rotation minutes. Even Boban Marjanovic of the Detroit Pistons is currently being used sparingly.

Milwaukee needs to strike a deal with a team that has a rarely used, quality big man. The other team also needs to not have enough guards to redress the imbalance they created with their trade. If they don’t, they may be up for an early exit from the playoffs as their tired big men cannot match up against the best teams.
