The Milwaukee Bucks have made some big moves to their roster. They have added new pieces to their adding former Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday and Kings forward Bogdan Bogdanovic via trade.
The New Orleans Pelicans have traded Jrue Holiday to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, and three first round picks. When people thought the Bucks were done after making a big trade, they had another trade coming. The Milwaukee Bucks traded away Donte DiVincenzo, Ersan Ilyasova, and D.J. Wilson in exchange for Bogdan Bogdanovic and Justin James.
Milwaukee was looking to make some moves as they are looking to bring help for Giannis Antetokounmpo as Antetokounmpo may be out of Milwaukee in 2021 as he could enter free agency.
My Thoughts
Well Milwaukee definitely added some better pieces to the starting lineup, but they did lose a lot of bench players in return.
Jrue Holiday is a better upgrade than Eric Bledsoe, but he’s not that much better than him. And Bogdanovic is a good shooter for the team, but I don’t think he’s a HUGE roster upgrade.
The Bucks definitely lost a lot of pieces which I am not really sure if that was the right move. You have to have a bench in order to compete with the best in the NBA. Look at the Golden State Warriors in 2019, they didn’t really have a bench. Same with The Celtics this past season, they didn’t have any pieces that came off their bench.
You NEED a good bench in order to go far in the playoffs, it can’t just be your stars. I will be very curious to see how the Bucks will do in free agency as ANYTHING can happen.
Draft night is tomorrow night!!
