Pelicans Rumors: Ranking Anthony Davis trade offers from all 29 teams
#22 Milwaukee Bucks
This one would be nice, but also tricky to pull off. Khris Middleton will test unrestricted free agency this upcoming offseason, so he’d have to agree to a sign-and-trade after inking a new deal with the Bucks already knowing he’d be traded to the Pelicans. Still, he’s an all-star that’s already gone on the record to say he doesn’t mind playing for a small market, which would be encouraging for New Orleans.
Former Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon is a free agent himself this summer, but a restricted one. This means the Bucks basically can retain his rights no matter what, as long as they’re willing to match any other offers from another team. Throwing him in on a trade for Davis alongside Middleton is about the only way the Bucks can come up with an offer close to good enough.
