The Milwaukee Bucks had higher expectations from themselves last season, but they failed to deliver. The team got knocked out in the first round of the playoffs, and they are most likely to make some changes to their roster. They do not have a lot of capital in their hands, and that might restrict their moves in the market. Here are 3 trades that we think the Bucks can do this summer.
Spurs’ Devonte’ Graham trade to the Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks can choose to swap Bobby Portis for Spurs’ Devonte’ Graham. The Bucks are relying too much on Jrue Holiday and Graham can be the backup they need. He is a good playmaker and ball-handler. His floor spacing skills would come handy for the Bucks as well. The Spurs just landed Victor Wembanyama, and they are looking for players who can do the dirty work for him. But are they going to sign him just for that, or will they consider other technicalities as well?
Clippers guard Norman Powell is a name worth monitoring on the trade front for the Milwaukee Bucks, per @JWeinbachNBA.

Wizards’ Delon Wright trade to the Milwaukee Bucks
The Wizards and the Bucks can swap Grayson Allen and Delon Wright. The Bucks have Holiday, Allen and Connaughton as their guards as of now and they would like to get Wright for Allen due to the positional advantage his presence would bring. The Wizards would not mind giving up on Wright since they have Tyus Jones on their roster. The Bucks are trying to land a proper point guard here since neither of Allen and Connaughton is a point guard. Will they succeed in doing so?
REPORT: Bradley Beal and his agent are expected to engage in talks with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Miami Heat, per @ChrisBHaynes

Hornets’ Terry Rozier trade to the Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks can go all in and sign Terry Rozier from the Charlotte Hornets. They can offer Bobby Portis, Pat Connaughton, Marjon Beauchamp, and a 2028 first-round pick in exchange for Rozier. The Bucks are potential contenders and they might risk it all for getting a good player. Rozier is a good shooter and can build the attack as well. The Hornets are getting enough return, are they going to part ways with Rozier?
The Bucks’ need for a point guard makes the possibility of them making a move this summer imminent. Will they do any of the above trades? We’ll keep you updated.
