Milwaukee Bucks: 4 trades that could help appease Giannis Antetokounmpo

4 trades the Milwaukee Bucks could make to appease Giannis Antetokounmpo

Losing to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Semifinals with Giannis Antetokounmpo watching from the sideline injured is not how the Milwaukee Bucks drew up the end of the 2019-20 NBA season. Nevertheless, it was how it all played out for the Bucks in the NBA’s restart bubble.

With Giannis heading into what could be the final year of his contract with the Bucks, all eyes will be on the team’s front office as they attempt to make the proper moves during the offseason that would satisfy his continued desire to win a championship in Milwaukee. As their roster currently stands, it’s quite clear that improvement needs to come.

According to recent reports, Giannis has already met with team ownership and the expectation is that they will meet again at some point this offseason. The team reportedly ensured Giannis that they are willing to dip into the luxury tax to surround him with the necessary talent to win a championship.

What does that mean exactly? Well, essentially it means that they won’t be cheap and that they will continue to add pieces. Ironically enough, perhaps the Bucks could’ve avoided this year’s offseason collapse had they elected to pay Malcolm Brogdon big money instead of the extension that they gave Eric Bledsoe. But that’s neither here nor there.

As suggested in the reported meetings, the Bucks will get another opportunity. How should they tackle the offseason? We explore four potential deals that could successfully improve their team while appeasing Giannis Antetokounmpo all at the same time.
