3. Milwaukee Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s decision aside, you can’t argue that the Milwaukee Bucks didn’t get better this offseason. Adding Jrue Holiday to Giannis and Khris Middleton is a solid offseason. The Bucks may have shuffled some of their rotation pieces, but they now have a solid core four of Giannis, Middleton, Jrue, and Brook Lopez.
The Bucks will enter the 2020-21 season with a chip on their shoulder after the way the 2020 NBA playoffs ended, and perhaps we could see the best version of Giannis that we’ve seen thus far in his young career.
Many won’t believe in the Bucks until they prove they can win in the playoffs, but this team could win 60 games during the regular season. They’re going to be a force on both ends of the floor and still have the second-best player in the NBA. They’re going to be a force in the East.
