NBA trade rumors: Bulls’ Torrey Craig under Bucks’ attention to team with Giannis, Lillard | News, scores, highlights, stats and rumors

The Milwaukee Bucks appear to be targeting Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig in the trade market.

Brett Siegel of Clutch Points reported that the Bucks have “expressed interest” in Craig as an addition to the team’s wing and that Milwaukee is looking to bring in MarJon Beauchamp and Pat Connaughton to get a deal done.

“No team has expressed interest in completing a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks at this time,” Siegel wrote. MarJon Beauchamp ($2.7 million) and Pat Connaughton ($9.4 million) are the two players the Bucks have made available in trade talks to try to add talent on the wing. Veteran forward Torrey Craig of the Chicago Bulls is a player Milwaukee has expressed interest in, sources say rival teams would much rather talk about Bobby Portis if he became available before the trade deadline.

Craig has seen limited action this season, averaging five points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.8 assists in four games for Chicago. He is a seven-year veteran who has played for five franchises, including Milwaukee, where he was part of the 2020-21 NBA Championship team.

He has career averages of six points, four rebounds and 1.1 assists and would add to the team’s depth. Milwaukee could use that depth, as the team is 6-9 despite strong play from Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.

He has a cap hit of just $2.8 million for 2024-25 and a player option for 2025-26 for $2.8 million. He would be a low-risk pickup who could help Milwaukee navigate a weak Eastern Conference.
