NBA Trade Deadline: 5 teams who emerged as the biggest winners
Milwaukee Bucks
Milwaukee is an even bigger problem now. By acquiring Nikola Mirotic at the NBA Trade Deadline the Bucks told the rest of the Eastern Conference that they are all in to get to the NBA Finals. This is a perfect fit for Mirotic and the Bucks.
There may not be a more perfect fit coming out of the NBA Trade Deadline than this.
Milwaukee doesn’t play a real complicated type of offense. The Bucks keep their shooters on the perimeter and it gives Giannis a clear lane to operate or gives him the opportunity to kick the ball out to those shooters.
Entere Nikola Mirotic.
Mirotic is hitting around 37 percent from deep this season and if nothing else he can keep defenders from moving off of him to go guard Giannis. Mirotic is a sniper. Defenders have to worry about him and coaches have to game plan for him.
The Bucks are team full of shooters and they just added another weapon. Like I said, Milwaukee is a problem.
