Bucks Turned Down Potential Kevin Porter Jr. Trade With Nuggets
The Milwaukee Bucks rejected a trade that would have sent Kevin Porter Jr. to the Denver Nuggets for two future second‑round picks, a pick swap and Zeke Nnaji, according to Jake Fischer’s Substack. Milwaukee balked at taking on Nnaji’s $7.47 million player option for 2027‑28 plus his current $7.47 million salary, opting instead to waive Porter and absorb his $5.39 million cap hit. Fischer notes the move reflects teams’ focus on financial flexibility under the apron system, especially with upcoming free agents like Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Ryan Rollins. He also mentions a failed Lakers swap involving Jericho Sims and Dalton Knecht.

Milwaukee Bucks labeled as potential landing spot for Golden State Warriors center
The Golden State Warriors have reportedly put Kristaps Porzingis on the trade block despite his ongoing battle with POTS, and have reached out to the Milwaukee Bucks about a swap for Myles Turner. The Bucks, who are not believed to be interested in Porzingis, could demand draft assets to offset Turner’s $26.6 million cap hit compared with Porzingis’ $20 million salary. Turner, a veteran leader in Milwaukee’s post‑Giannis rebuild, posted 11 points, five rebounds and three assists in the Bucks’ 112‑105 opening‑night loss to the Washington Wizards, where Anthony Davis exploded for 34 points. The deal faces luxury‑tax constraints and roster timing concerns for both clubs.
Bucks wanted two second round picks from Lakers in Jericho Sims trade

With Kevon Looney struggling early in the season, the Lakers still need a backup center, but the draft‑pick gap kept the deal from materializing.

Ready or not, the playing time is coming for Adem Bona
The Sixers’ upcoming back‑to‑back games against the Milwaukee Bucks (Sat) and Detroit Pistons (Sun) will thrust rookie big man Adem Bona into a larger role as Joel Embiid sits out due to load management. After missing most of training camp with a left‑foot sprain, Bona has logged 23 minutes this season, posting a key block in a comeback win over Cleveland and totaling five rebounds and two blocks. While his defensive instincts are strong, he still struggles with foul trouble and focus on assignments. In his rookie year he averaged 9.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 24.9 minutes, and Coach Nick Nurse expects him to lean on defense and rebounding as the team faces stars like LeBron James and Tyrese Maxey.

Malik Beasley reportedly plans to plead guilty in federal NBA gambling case
Former NBA guard Malik Beasley is in talks with federal prosecutors about switching his not‑guilty plea to guilty in a gambling indictment that alleges he deliberately altered his play in four 2023‑24 games—against Cleveland (Jan. 26), Charlotte (Feb. 27), LA Clippers (Mar. 10) and Brooklyn (Mar. 21)—to help bettors. While his lawyer says no final decision is made yet, a verdict is expected next week.
