The deal keeps Trent in Milwaukee, where he appeared in 139 games (30 starts) for the Bucks over the past two seasons.

The combo guard/forward averaged 11.1 points in his first season with the Bucks, but that dipped to 8.1 points in 2025-26, Trent’s lowest average since his rookie year.

Trent, 27, originally signed with the Bucks for the league minimum before the 2024-25 season. He played well enough to earn a new two-year, $7.5 million deal, which he opted out of this offseason.

That turned out to be a prudent move, as he received significant market interest despite the Bucks holding his bird rights.

A career 13.0 ppg scorer, Trent could yet be the topic of trade discussions due to the size of the deal. ESPN reports that he’ll make $15.2 million in the first year.
