Fischer highlights that Pat Connaughton and Cameron Payne, who collectively account for $12.5 million in salary this season, are considered the Bucks' most valuable trade assets to acquire defensive help.

While the Bucks have their eyes on Alex Caruso as a desirable addition, Fischer mentions that the Chicago Bulls appear reluctant to part with him unless offered multiple first-round picks.

Milwaukee recently underwent a coaching change, with Doc Rivers taking over the reins from Adrian Griffin.
