Heard ‘em Say: Latest Bucks roster developments

The Milwaukee Bucks are actively exploring trade options to trim their roster ahead of the 2026-27 season, with a potential swap involving Jericho Sims and Dalton Knecht at the center of discussions. Reports suggest the Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers have held preliminary talks on a deal that would send the 2024 first-round pick Knecht, along with draft capital, to Milwaukee in exchange for Sims, though skepticism remains about the trade’s likelihood.

The Lakers, who picked up Knecht’s $4.2 million team option for next season, may need to waive him if no agreement materializes before Monday’s deadline. Meanwhile, the Bucks are also evaluating possible trades for Kevin Porter Jr.

and Caris LeVert to avoid waiving contracted players, with fan favorite Pete Nance’s future a key concern if waivers become necessary.
