As a Bucks supporter, you’re keenly aware that Milwaukee’s championship window is narrowing, and last season’s strategy didn’t yield the desired results.
Change is inevitable.
Fortunately, it appears the Bucks are proactively seeking to shake things up. According to Hoops Hype, Milwaukee is exploring roster revamps, including potentially trading players like Bobby Portis and Pat Connaughton.
Reports: Bobby Portis and Pat Connaughton Available for Trade
Losing Portis would be significant; he’s coming off a strong season with averages of 13.8 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, earning him a spot as a finalist for Sixth Man of the Year.
However, any moves would only be made with the goal of strengthening their championship contention.
If Milwaukee retains the No. 23 overall pick, Hoops Hype suggests they might select Isaiah Collier from USC to bolster their backcourt depth behind Damian Lillard.
Alternatively, ESPN’s latest mock draft predicts they could choose Duke’s Kyle Filipowski, while The Athletic leans towards Indiana’s Kel’el Ware.
Should they decide to trade the pick (or Portis/Connaughton), there are appealing trade targets available.
A recent Bleacher Report article highlighted NBA stars potentially on the trade block, including Kevin Durant, Mikal Bridges, Dejounte Murray, and Brandon Ingram. Any of these additions could significantly enhance Milwaukee’s roster, providing valuable support alongside Giannis and Lillard.
The Bucks’ direction remains uncertain, but fans can anticipate an exciting offseason as Milwaukee aims to retool for another shot at an NBA title.
