According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, “In the aftermath of the Donte DiVincenzo trade and Connaughton injury, the Bucks will be aggressive in pursuit of Goran Dragic once he enters the buyout market next week, sources said. There will be significant opportunity for Dragic to play a role on the defending champions.”
Although teams like the Bucks might have shown their interest, they face a tough test. Competition comes in the form of top teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors.
Despite being 35, Dragic still has recent success under his belt. He started in 16 postseason games during the Miami Heat‘s journey to the NBA finals.

The Slovenian guard averages 8.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 5 games for the Toronto Raptors. He was traded to the San Antonio Spurs during the trade season, allowing the Spurs a protected 2022 first-round pick in the deal.
With many top teams looking to acquire his services, the 35-year-old is certainly one of the biggest names in the upcoming buyout market. Although the Bucks will face a tough test in signing him, pairing him with Giannis Antetokounmpo will be a perfect dream.
