Milwaukee Bucks trade rumors 2016: Jabari Parker to be traded with Greg Monroe?

The Milwaukee Bucks have placed center Greg Monroe on the trade market this off-season, but there are no takers for him so far due to the structure of his contract, although they might still deal him away if they include one more player who can capture the interest of teams - and this could be Jabari Parker. 

Monroe is an efficient big man, but the Bucks are trying to part ways with him because he failed to fit into their system. There were teams linked to him but none have expressed interest maybe because of the player option in his current pact. 

Next year, Monroe can be a free agent if he opts out of his deal. This is something that might be preventing teams from pursuing him since he can just walk away following the 2016-17 National Basketball Association (NBA) season. 

But the Bucks still has a chance to trade Monroe if they put him in a package deal that will be worth the risk, and Yibada.com suggested that the guy joining him is Parker. 

The combination of Monroe and Parker will surely be coveted by franchises once it is shopped by Milwaukee. Teams aiming to boost their front line and add young talent will scramble just to acquire the two. 

At least if Monroe decides to just leave after the new season, the squad that succeeded in trading for them still has Parker, who is a budding big man in the National Basketball Association (NBA). 

However, the biggest question is: Will the Bucks be willing to bid farewell to a prospect like Parker? The 21-year-old is one of the crucial pieces of the young core they are boasting and as of the moment, it is unlikely for him to be let go just to accomplish the goal of removing Monroe from the roster.
