Bucks Eyeing a Trade for Larry Nance Jr.

The Milwaukee Bucks have gotten some traction and gotten their act together, especially after a slow start to the season, but most importantly, they need frontcourt relief.

One possible selection is Larry Nance Jr. of the Atlanta Hawks. After falling out of the Hawks rotation, Nance could become an excellent bench piece for the Bucks. The multitude of his skills as well as his defensive ability will provide exactly what the team has been missing.

A trade involving Nance and Bobby Portis would serve both sides. The Bucks could get a quality player while the Hawks get the precious piece from this deal.

Nonetheless, the Hawks’ status within the Eastern Conference could complicate such a trade. Since both teams fight for the same playoff positions, this might make Atlanta prioritize strengthening their own roster instead of trading him to a direct rival. While a trade for Nance would be ideal for the Bucks, it remains to be seen if a deal can be finalized.
