Ranking Bucks' Most Valuable Remaining Trade Pieces Right Now

The Milwaukee Bucks finalized their trade of Giannis Antetokounmpo on July 6, officially sending the two-time MVP and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat in exchange for Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel'el Ware, Kasparas Jakucionis, and a package of draft picks.

After a 32-50 season that saw the Bucks miss the playoffs for the first time since 2016, the deal marks the start of a full rebuild under new head coach Taylor Jenkins.

With this much on the roster, the next set of moves could shape Milwaukee's future just as much.

Herro is the most valuable trade chip Milwaukee has right now, and it is not particularly close because the 26-year-old guard averaged 20.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game while shooting 48.0 percent from the field and 37.8 percent from three across 33 games for Miami last season.

He can play on or off the ball and contending teams would line up to get him if the Bucks made him available.

Milwaukee's projected starting five has Herro slotted in at shooting guard, but his trade value is still the highest on the roster by far.

Kuzma is the easiest player to move right now because the 30-year-old forward is sitting on an expiring $20.49 million deal and averaged 13.0 points and 4.5 rebounds per game across 69 games while shooting a career-best 49.2 percent from the field.

His salary makes the money work in almost any trade and contenders looking for a scoring wing would jump at the chance.

Reports have already linked both Kuzma and Myles Turner as trade candidates now that the rebuild is officially underway.

Turner brings rim protection and floor spacing from the center spot, which is a rare combination, but his value gets tricky because of his contract.

He averaged 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game last season while shooting 38.3 percent from three, though his numbers dipped in his first year in Milwaukee.

He still has about $83.5 million left on his deal, which limits the trade market, but teams like the Hornets, Pelicans, and Los Angeles Lakers have already shown interest.

Ware might be the most interesting long-term piece on this roster because the 22-year-old center averaged 11.1 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game across 77 games for the Heat while playing just 22.1 minutes a night.

He is on a cost-controlled deal and the Los Angeles Lakers have already been linked to him, showing his value around the league is real.

The Bucks see Ware as a key part of the Giannis return, but if they commit to Turner at center, Ware becomes a prime trade chip and Milwaukee still has room to stay aggressive this offseason.
