Michael Carter-Williams could be headed for his third team in five seasons as the Milwaukee Bucks are "in deep talks" with the Chicago Bulls for a trade that would swap the former 11th overall pick for 24-year-old swingman Tony Snell, according to multiple reports.
The Bucks are continuing to search for a replacement to injured forward Khris Middleton (hamstring) before the season tips off later this month and see Snell as a viable starter at small forward. The 6-7 Snell averaged 5.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 20 minutes per game last season, making 33 starts.
Former Rookie of the Year Carter-Williams came to the Bucks in a 2014 deal along with Miles Plumlee and Tyler Ennis in exchange for Brandon Knight. The point guard has averaged 14.5 points, 6.1 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.7 steals over four seasons with the 76ers and Bucks.

The Bucks traded for Michael Beasley in September in exchange for Ennis, but Bucks general manager John Hammond said trading for Beasley was not related to Middleton's injury.
