Milwaukee Bucks center Thon Maker wants the franchise to trade him to a team where he will get more playing time, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Maker's agent, Mike George, has had discussions with Bucks general manager Jon Horst about finding a new home for the 7-footer.

The representative for Milwaukee Bucks center Thon Maker has told management that he'd prefer the franchise find a trade to a team that would provide a larger role for the former lottery pick, league sources told ESPN.

As Maker's playing time has diminished under new coach Mike Budenholzer in the Bucks' surge to the NBA's best record, agent Mike George and Milwaukee general manager Jon Horst have discussed trade scenarios in recent weeks that would potentially make sense for both the player and team, league sources said.

In 35 games this season for the Bucks, Thon Maker is averaging 4.7 points and 2.7 rebounds per game while shooting 44.0 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from beyond the arc and 54.1 percent from the free-throw line. Maker is averaging 11.7 minutes per game.

The Bucks drafted Thon Maker with the 10th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. Milwaukee enters Saturday with the best record in the NBA at 35-12. The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 7.
