The trade rumors swirling around the Milwaukee Bucks are reaching a fever pitch, but they should stay far, far away from Bradley Beal.

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.

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.

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.

NBA insider Marc Stein reported that the Bucks are “determined” to make a trade before the February 6 deadline and are eager to upgrade their roster. As the fourth seed in the East, the Bucks want to have the most talent possible come playoffs.
