NBA Trade Deadline 2018: One trade every team should make
By Daniel Lewis
Milwaukee Bucks
Send: Jabari Parker, John Henson, conditional first round pick
Receive: DeAndre Jordan
The Bucks decided to fire Jason Kidd because they felt like the former Nets coach wasn’t getting enough out of the talent on the roster. Making a trade for Jordan would give their interim head coach the defensive anchor they lack to help propel the team into the playoffs.
Losing Parker and a conditional first round pick — they already dealt their 2018 pick to Phoenix, but it is protected for a few years — is a high price, but their cap situation makes it unlikely they would be able to retain Parker anyways. If this team thinks that they have a shot at the Conference Finals with Jordan, it’s a move they should strong consider making.
