Trade assets: 1. Giannis Antetokounmpo 2. Jrue Holiday 3. Bobby Portis 

After suffering an embarrassing first-round playoff loss at the hands of the Miami Heat, it was only natural for the Milwaukee Bucks to look themselves in the mirror and contemplate their future. The Bucks decided to move on from head coach Mike Budenholzer and, heading into the offseason, you can’t help but wonder what other big moves may be awaiting this team over the next few months.

The good news is that Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t going anywhere. He’s the best trade asset in the NBA right now and is under contract for the foreseeable future – and he may end up signing a contract extension this summer too. The Bucks could move mountains with a potential trade return, though, if they ever got to that point.

Then you have Jrue Holiday who has been the second-most consistent player on the Bucks in the last two seasons and Bobby Portis who remains one of the better sixth men in the league. The Bucks are in good hands and have the necessary means to make a splash trade during the offseason if they wanted.
