Utah Jazz have reportedly agreed for a deal for Milwaukee Bucks’ g-league affiliate’s guard Rayjon Tucker. They are also reported to have waived veteran Jeff Green to make room for Tucker in their roster. Green, 33, hasn’t been satisfactory this season. He averaged 7.8 points and 2.8 rebounds over the 29 games that he played this season for the Jazz. He signed a one-year, $2.56 million contract back in June, and is now seeing is way out in the middle of it. Adrian Wojanrowski of ESPN reported [https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1209326795696283648?s=20] that the deal is done, but an official announcement is yet to be made. The reports suggested that Tucker will get at least a guaranteed deal for the rest of the season. Tucker is a 22-year old forward playing from Charlotte. He played two seasons of college basketball with the Florida Gulf Coast and then a season for Little Rock. In the 2019 pre season, he entered the NBA draft, but went undrafted. He then played for Bucks’ NBA [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/] summer league team and was later assigned to their g-league affiliate Wisconsin Herd. He had impressed many playing in the g-league. Wisconsin coach Chase Buford has held high regards for the 22-year old and quoting him as a man with “great work ethic” and an “exciting prospect.” Milwaukee were in fact reported to have wanted to keep Tucker, but he is now almost gone. UTAH ALREADY ACQUIRED A CLARKSON- Earlier, Utah acquired Jordan Clarkson from Cleveland Cavaliers. A while after a pre-season of some crazy trade deals, NBA is back with another trade news. It was the first deal after Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul were exchanged on July 11. Utah might be looking to fill in rotation players in what is expected to be a long season.

<h2>Inception: The Reindeer throws the league off-balance</h2>
Milwaukee Bucks is a franchise that operates from the city of Milwaukee, which is in the state of Wisconsin. Its home floor is the Fiserv Forum which opened in 2018 via public funding. It is a part of the Central Division that also features the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Chicago Bulls, the Indiana Pacers, and the Detroit Pistons. The franchise has been operational since 1968 and played its first NBA game in October of that year. Before the following season, because of a grueling 27-55 record, they earned the right to the first pick following a coin flip.?

On the stake was Lew Alcindor(now known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), a transcendental talent who was deemed way too good for the NCAA. After winning the coin flip, the budding ABA?s New York Nets challenged them in a bidding war to bring Alcindor. But, the Bucks succeeded in bringing him into the fold. And just in his second year and the franchise?s third season, they claimed their first NBA Championship. Therefore, Milwaukee Bucks is the first expansion franchise that win a title within the first three years of its existence. Since then, it has won one more title. It happened in 2021, when Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday, and Khris Middleton made one of the most brilliant runs in the history of the game. They beat the Suns in six games during the championship round.?
