With the addition of Eric Bledsoe - who has really transformed into the perfect sidekick to Giannis, Tony Snell's playing minutes per game have been decreased from 27 last year to 17 this year, having started just 4 games thus far in the season. Also, the realization of Malcolm Brogdon's excellence on the floor elevated him to the starting lineup, which added to Snell's decreased usage rate, and retired him to a predominant bench role.

Thon Maker and Jason Smith are two more examples of Bucks players that - in the present scheme of things - might be a better fit for other teams who are looking to add value and depth to their roster without shelling out too much cash.

But there lies a probability that the Milwaukee front office might hold on to Maker for a while before they are clear on Center Brook Lopez' commitment regarding the future. However, Jason Smith seems more likely to be traded considering he is just simply a surplus commodity on the Bucks' plate.

With a strong starting 2-guard prospect in Snell who has been largely restricted to a bench role, teams would be on the lookout(and whatever the Bucks can accompany with him) for the talent he brings to the table in a not-so-outrageous salary range.
