Rashad Vaughn’s days with the Milwaukee Bucks may be numbered. The Bucks are reportedly motivated to trade the third-year guard and are even willing to attach a second round pick to entice teams to a deal, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Milwaukee has been working to trade several players to clear salary-cap space, including guard Rashad Vaughn and center John Henson, league sources said. The Bucks have been willing to attach a second-round pick in offers for Vaughn, league sources said.
The Bucks are not particularly deep on the wings as currently constructed. They had an interest in Richard Jefferson, but the veteran eventually signed with the Denver Nuggets. They instead picked up DeAndre Liggins off waivers.
However, those recent moves may not change their desire to part ways with Vaughn, who has been a major disappointment in his time in the NBA. Vaughn was drafted No. 17 overall in the 2015 draft, but has averaged just 3.2 points and 1.2 rebounds in 13.2 minutes over his first two seasons.
The Bucks need to decide by Oct. 31 whether they want to exercise his $2.9 million team option for next season. But given their willingness to trade him, they seem unlikely to pick that option up.
