Bobby Portis is currently in the middle of his fifth season playing for the Milwaukee Bucks.

The former Arkansas star is averaging 13.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per contest while shooting 47.8% from the field and 36.7% from the three-point range in 24 games.

According to Evan Sidery of Forbes, the Bucks are open to moving the 2021 NBA Champion.

Via Sidery: "The Bucks have gauged the trade market on Bobby Portis to find rotational upgrades.

With Milwaukee over the second apron, they can’t take back salaries totaling more than Portis’ $12.6 million.
