One player who could be worth trading the final first-round pick for is Zach LaVine. The Chicago Bulls guard is an All-Star-caliber player, but he’s also commonly regarded as overpaid, as he’s in the third of a five-year, $215.6 million contract.

After a slow start to the season, the Milwaukee Bucks are 26-19 and own the No. 4 seed in the East just a week until the trade deadline. Though their roster looks poised for a playoff run as is, the Bucks are a team to monitor in the trade market.

LaVine is having one of his best seasons, averaging 24 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game while shooting a scorching 44.6 percent from three and 56 percent inside the arc. Those numbers aren’t empty calories—he’s an elite shot-maker who could provide exactly what Milwaukee needs.

Because the Bucks have crossed the NBA’s second tax apron, players like Connaughton or Portis would have to be traded away to make a deal like this happen. Milwaukee can’t aggregate players in a trade unless that trade gets them under the tax apron.

In this new trade proposal, the Bucks do land an All-Star, grabbing Zach LaVine from the rival Chicago Bulls. The deal would be a three-team trade between the Bucks, Bulls, and Detroit Pistons. Using the Spotrac trade machine and abiding by CBA rules, here is what the deal could look like:

While the Milwaukee Bucks would love to upgrade their roster via a trade heading into deadline season, there's a major problem with any deal coming to fruition.

The Milwaukee Bucks have been searching for ways to improve their roster ahead of the trade deadline. They have won five of their last six games and have put themselves in a position to get homecourt in the first round of the playoffs.
