NBA Rumors: Milwaukee Bucks to trade Gary Neal to a contender?

The Milwaukee Bucks signed Gary Neal to a three-year deal in the offseason to provide leadership and help their young roster develop.

According to the Journal Times, the Bucks could trade Neal to a contender.

In those two games, he connected on 14 of 23 shots from the field."

Neal is averaging 10.2 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.
