Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley just proposed another trade that sounds good on paper until you actually think about what Milwaukee would be giving up. His pitch: Bobby Portis, Andre Jackson Jr., and a 2031 first-round pick to New Orleans for Herb Jones.

Everything else about this deal is questionable at best.
