Golden State Warriors: 7 Potential Kevin Durant sign-and-trades
By Tony Pesta
3. Milwaukee Bucks
Last season was a significant one for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo finally took his first step to become an NBA superstar by averaging 27.7 points and 12.5 rebounds per game en route to likely winning the MVP award. His star performance helped lead Milwaukee to the best record in the league but fell two games short of reaching the NBA Finals.
Now, the Bucks have a decision to make. Khris Middleton was a key member to their run but he has already decided to decline his player option. However, perhaps the Bucks can convince him to restructure a deal and allow them to complete a sign-and-trade with the Golden State Warriors.
In order to make this work, the Bucks would have to include Eric Bledsoe and a future First Round pick. In exchange, they gain a second superstar to pair with Giannis, making them the most loaded team in the league.
As for the Dubs, they gain two excellent players and a pick. Middleton was an All-Star last season while Bledsoe is a solid back up guard to fill in for Stephen Curry. This gives the Dubs some much-needed depth and more options moving forward.
