The Bucks have gauged the trade market on Bobby Portis to find rotational upgrades.

With Milwaukee over the second apron, they can’t take back salaries totaling more than Portis’ $12.6 million.

Portis is averaging 13.1 points and 7.7 rebounds while shooting 36.7% on threes.

So a Maxi for Portis trade works? $11M vs 12.6M? Saves MIL salary and tax $$ and DAL gets a younger big to more reliably fill the #2 PF position, with maybe some small ball C?

Sounds easy, but it never is.
