NBA Trade Rumors 2017: Milwaukee Bucks eyeing Deandre Johnson; Courtney Lee gaining interest

The National Basketball Association (NBA) set its trade deadline for February of next year. Unsurprisingly, some high-profile trades have already been completed. However, there are still a lot of rumors for upcoming trades to go down before next year's deadline.

One of the NBA players generating a lot of buzzes is New York Knicks', Courtney Lee. The shooting guard averages at 13.1 points scored per game, as well as 3.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.4 steals. Lee maintains a 49.8 percent shooting stat on the field.

The player is doing well with the Knicks, but rumors suggest that his current success may not be enough to keep him on the Knicks' roster. Lee's current good play is reason enough why other teams start to show interest in him — it would make sense for Knicks to put the shooting guard on the trade block if they need to.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Clippers' Deandre Jordan is another player likely to be traded next. There have been talks that Milwaukee Bucks is interested in the 29-year old center.

If they would trade for him, Bucks' interest in Jordan would most likely about improving the team's defensive roster. The center is also good with rebounds and blocks, which certainly does not hurt his chances of working well with the team.

However, if for some reason the Bucks cannot get Jordan on their team, they have another option in Tyson Chandler. The 35-year old center from Phoenix Suns may not be as good as Jordan, but he at least possesses the same traits that make him an excellent choice for a position with the team.

Bucks already went after Chandler in the past. The center and Bucks' head coach Jason Kidd has "good rapport," according to NBA veteran reporter Gery Woelfel.

Milwaukee Bucks already made a thriving trade with the Phoenix Suns for point guard Eric Bledsoe. Time will tell if they can make more successful trades before the Feb. 8 deadline comes.
