Milwaukee Bucks pursue trade moves, reject Hugo González, target Peyton Watson

After trading Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat, the Milwaukee Bucks have been active in the offseason, re‑signing several players and holding two draft picks. They have been linked to multiple trade scenarios.

One rumor involved the Boston Celtics, who reportedly asked the Bucks to include Spanish forward Hugo González in a package for Giannis. The Celtics rejected the idea, ending that negotiation. Another line of interest focuses on Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson, who averaged 14.6 points and 4.9 rebounds last season. The Bucks are said to consider offering a first‑round pick or absorbing the contract of Nuggets forward Zeke Nnaji in a potential sign‑and‑trade.
