NBA Trade Rumors: Bulls’ Torrey Craig Eyed by Bucks to Pair with Giannis, Lillard | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

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

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

“No team has shown interest in making 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 discussions in order to try and add talent on the wing. Veteran forward Torrey Craig from the Chicago Bulls is a player Milwaukee has “shown interest in, sources said. Rival teams would much rather discuss Bobby Portis if he was to become 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 with five franchises, including Milwaukee where he was on 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 at $2.8 million. He would be a low-risk pickup who could help Milwaukee navigate a weak Eastern Conference.
