With the 2021-22 NBA trade deadline becoming a much more talked about subject, some fans are wondering whether or not the Milwaukee Bucks will look to make a move. Quite simply, it would be wise for the Bucks to do just that. Adding more offensive firepower would be welcome and a guy like Sacramento Kings’ shooting guard Buddy Hield might make perfect sense.
Now, the question becomes, how could the Bucks pull off a big trade like one to acquire Hield would be? They have some trade chips, but Hield isn’t going to come cheap. However, there are ways to make a move work.
Granted, the Kings are going to want value for Hield. They aren’t just going to move him for the sake of making a trade. Therefor, the Bucks will need to throw pieces into the deal that will help the Kings both now and in the future.
Here is what one potential deal between the Bucks and Kings could look like if Milwaukee decided to pursue Hield.
Milwaukee Bucks Receive: Buddy Hield
Sacramento Kings Receive: Jordan Nwora, Pat Connaughton, Brook Lopez, 2022 Second-Round Pick

Would that be enough for the Kings? Nwora is a nice piece that could end becoming a very key player for Sacramento in the future if he reaches his full potential. Both Connaughton and Lopez are veteran players that could either be flipped or allowed to walk when their contracts are completed.
Throwing in a second-round pick isn’t a huge deal with how good the Bucks are. But, that would be just another asset that the Kings could use in other deals.
For the Bucks, this deal would make perfect sense. Bringing in a guy like Hield who can knock down the three-point shot at a high level and create his own looks would be an ideal fit alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, and Jrue Holiday. Hield would be able to take pressure off of the “Big Three” in Milwaukee.

Some fans on both sides won’t like this deal. It’s more iffy for the Kings, although it is obvious that Hield wants to be moved. If the two teams want to work something out, a deal like this could end up being a good scenario.
Expect to continue hearing rumors about Buddy Hield and both the Kings and Bucks. The trade deadline is moving in quickly and it will be interesting to see what moves end up being made.
