Milwaukee Bucks Pursue Multiple Star Guards, Explore Trades Ahead NBA Season

The Milwaukee Bucks have had a turbulent offseason, waiving Damian Lillard, signing center Myles Turner, and facing skepticism about their championship prospects despite these moves. Experts believe the Bucks lack sufficient depth and a reliable starting point guard, with Kevin Porter Jr. seen more as a backup and potential targets like Chris Paul and Malcolm Brogdon being considered for the role. The team is also exploring trades for young talent such as Jonathan Kuminga to bolster its forward rotation, although negotiations with the Warriors have stalled. Additionally, the Bucks are expected to show interest in free agent Bradley Beal, aiming to add scoring at a more affordable salary. These efforts underscore Milwaukee's urgency to build a competitive roster around Giannis Antetokounmpo to keep him satisfied and in Milwaukee amid a wide-open Eastern Conference. However, insiders remain skeptical that the current roster moves will be enough to secure a deep playoff run.
