Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel, report that Portis is being monitored around the league ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline.
- The Warriors, Hornets, Suns and Lakers are identified as teams evaluating a move for the Bucks forward.
- Milwaukee is positioned as a buyer and could include Portis’ $13.4 million salary in packages aimed at adding higher-end help next to Giannis Antetokounmpo.
- Portis is averaging 13.2 points and 6.5 rebounds with 47.3% three-point shooting this season, and he remains under contract for two more years.
- Analysts indicate a Warriors outcome would likely require a multi-team framework, with any Portis deal viewed as a step toward a larger Bucks upgrade.
