On Thursday, the Portland Trail Blazers (18-29) host the Orlando Magic (24-24) at the Moda Center, and if you’re wondering how to catch the action live, you’ve come to the right place. The Trail Blazers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 125-112 on Tuesday for their fifth win in six games.
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.
Bucks: Points, Antetokounmpo (31.7 per game). Rebounds, Antetokounmpo (12.2). Assists, Lillard (7.3). Steals, Lillard (1.2). Blocks, Lopez (2.0). • Milwaukee comes in winners of nine of its past 12 games. The Spurs have won two of their past 10.
History has a way of repeating itself. If the Milwaukee Bucks get another opportunity to steal a superstar from Miami, don’t be surprised if they do it again.
The Milwaukee Bucks are mostly deprived of draft capital but aren't completely out of it. They still have one first-round pick to dangle in a trade. If the Bucks plan to use it, they must use it wisely.
Where will Jimmy Butler end up before the 2025 NBA trade deadline? Only four teams realistically make the most sense to acquire the disgruntled veteran wing.
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez got a surprise visit from Conor McGregor during a recent Bucks game against the Utah Jazz. Instead of waiting to meet Lopez after the game, as most tend to do, McGregor took the opportunity to introduce himself during the second quarter of the Bucks’ 125-110 win against the Jazz.
The Detroit Pistons have $14 million available under the salary cap, meaning the path to adding talent at the NBA trade deadline is easier for them than any other team in the NBA. A recent report indicates that the Pistons are one of several teams interested in trading for Lonzo Ball of the Chicago Bulls.
According to NBA Insider Marc Stein, the Bucks are “as determined as any team on the NBA map” to make a trade, which may include acquiring Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler, who is currently suspended indefinitely due to conduct detrimental actions toward the organization.
Despite Fox having a full season remaining on his current five-year, $163 million deal after the 2024-25 campaign, his time with the team that drafted him fifth overall eight years ago might be over sooner rather than later.
