Jake Fischer, a reporter at Yahoo Sports, claimed that the Milwaukee Bucks have explored the possibilities of trading Allen with other teams. According to Fischer, the Bucks have set their eyes on the Phoenix Suns’ Jae Crowder. Fischer added that it would make sense salary-wise to make that trade.
Allen’s potential trade destinations
Other media have already started speculating Grayson Allen’s trade destinations. Crowder could be a good addition for the Bucks just as Allen would possibly be for Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns. Justin Holiday from the Atlanta Hawks could possibly be a better option for the defensive side as well.
On the other hand, the Los Angeles Lakers have been struggling with keeping their players fit. LeBron James and Anthony Davis continue to play, despite their worrying health statuses.
