However, they have been unable to get over a bump in the postseason. They have incredible regular seasons, yet that success fails to translate into the playoffs. Many believe if they do not improve soon, it will drive Giannis out of the team.

Speaking of making improvements, the Bucks lack talent at the guard position. According to NBA insider Brandon Robinson, the Bucks are planning to trade for new players at the position.

For the 2020-21 season, the Bucks have little cap space flexibility. So if they want to improve the team, it has to be with trades. Speaking of the options that Scoop B mentioned above, any player in the lot could be a game-changer for them.

But it’s hard to see the Raptors giving up their franchise star in Kyle Lowry. If the trade is supposed to go down, it might be for either Chris Paul or Victor Oladipo. Paul’s Thunder are potentially heading towards a rebuild, which would be a bad fit for the veteran guard.

On the other hand, Oladipo reportedly wants to compete for a championship, and the Bucks would be the perfect fit for him. But can the Milwaukee Bucks pull off these trades without giving up too much in return? We will find out in the next few months.
