NBA trade deadline was incredibly busy for the Milwaukee Bucks, seeing them send longtime forward Khris Middleton for Kyle Kuzma of the Washington Wiza

It will be difficult for the Bucks, who have salary cap restraints, to make a big splash before the Feb. 6 trade deadline.

Let's check out the Milwaukee Bucks' new starting lineup and depth chart following the 2025 NBA trade deadline.

Milwaukee owes its second-round pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers. But the Kuzma trade brought back a 2025 second-rounder from the Wizards, so they'll have at least one pick in the 2025 draft.

The Milwaukee Bucks community expected to end this week wrestling with the the end of Khris Middleton’s time in cream and green. In the weeks preceding the trade deadline, Middleton was transitioned to a bench role where he showed some promise before the wheels fell off again last week in a pair of scoreless performances.

For starters, that means they can’t aggregate salaries in a trade. No package deals, no three-for-one swaps. Any deal they make has to be a straight-up, one-for-one swap. That’s a nightmare for a team that desperately needs roster upgrades.

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers addressed the trade of Khris Middleton and the additions of Kyle Kuzma, Jericho Sims and Kevin Porter Jr.

The Milwaukee Bucks finalized a number of swaps, notably sending Khris Middleton to the Washington Wizards, ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.
