Even though the Milwaukee Bucks exited the playoffs early this year, the franchise will still be part of the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft. And like in years past, the Giannis Antetokounmpo-led team won’t be neck-deep into the lottery like the worst teams this season. And speaking of the worst teams, that honor belonged to the Detroit Pistons after the team finished with 14 wins and 68 losses. The Washington Wizards followed them with a 15-67 record, while the Charlotte Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers were tied in with the third worst thanks to their 21-61 standing in their respective conferences.…

Milwaukee Bucks, GG Jackson, Memphis Grizzlies

Memphis Grizzlies rookie GG Jackson II had a great first year in the league despite his team missing several key players, most notably Ja Morant. Along the way, though, the promising star recalled Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo pinching him during a regular season game. While many expected the Grizzlies to be one of the Western Conference’s top teams this year, the exact opposite happened. Their start to the regular season wasn’t really something to talk about due to the 25-game suspension slapped on Morant during the offseason because of a gun-flashing incident. Things got worse when the All-Star guard…

Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo

For the longest time, All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been the Milwaukee Bucks’ engine for its success on the court. But for Stephen Jackson, one of the team’s former stars, the Greek Freak has a major flaw to his game and it can be his undoing in the future. Antetokounmpo first entered the NBA as the Bucks’ 15th overall pick in the 2013 Draft. Unlike his game right now, his rookie campaign projected him to be more a raw prospect rather than the elite player who led Milwaukee to a championship. Back then, he only averaged 6.8 points, 4.4 rebounds,…

It’s no secret that the Milwaukee Bucks had a horrendous run this season, especially their early exit at the hands of the Indiana Pacers. For this reason, head coach Doc Rivers revealed the extent of his work to prepare the team for the 2024-25 season. During the previous offseason, Milwaukee’s front office decided to blow up the league by trading for All-Star guard Damian Lillard. In exchange, they sent out a package consisting of Jrue Holiday, Grayson Allen, and a collection of draft picks in a three-team deal involving the Portland Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns. As the season went…

Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo

While many expected the Milwaukee Bucks to dominate this season, the opposite happened. But after their disappointing run this year, particularly the early playoff exit to the Indiana Pacers, two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo may have just given everyone a hint on his future with the team. During the previous offseason, the Bucks went all-in by acquiring Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for a package of Jrue Holiday, Grayson Allen, and a collection of draft picks and swaps. This created a massive one-two punch combo of Lillard and Antetokounmpo that could have dominated the league when the…

Milwaukee Bucks, Doc Rivers

The Milwaukee Bucks’ decision to fire Adrian Griffin and go with Doc Rivers as his replacement may have been one of the reasons for their failed 2023-24 campaign. And due to more individuals in the coaching staff, Rivers has come up with the final decision on what to do for next season. Right before Griffin was fired, the Bucks held the Eastern Conference’s second seed with the Boston Celtics on top. This marked a campaign with All-Star guard Damian Lillard running the point with Giannis Antetokounmpo beside him as the team boasted a 30-13 record under Griffin During that period,…

While they may not possess Giannis Antetokounmpo’s innate talent on the court, the Milwaukee Bucks star’s brothers have always found a way to play for an NBA team over the years. Meanwhile, Alex, the youngest of the bunch, is playing ball in Lithuania and has been suspended recently. Giannis Antetokounmpo first entered the league in 2013 as the Bucks 15th overall pick in that year’s draft. Since then, the Greek Freak has moved up the ladder and won Most Improved Player of the Year, a pair of MVPs, and Defensive Player of the Year. Milwaukee’s franchise star would go on…

Milwaukee Bucks, Dejounte Murray, Atlanta Hawks

The Milwaukee Bucks’ early playoff exit this year highlighted the need for an insurance policy, especially if the All-Star duo of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are unavailable. This need points to the potential of trading for Atlanta Hawks star Dejounte Murray in the offseason. During the previous offseason, the Bucks’ front office went all out by acquiring All-Star guard Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for a package headlined by Jrue Holiday. Even though they compromised on defense, this move gave the team a credible closer and a talented player to pair with Giannis Antetokounmpo. While…

Milwaukee Bucks, Mitchell Robinson, New York Knicks

After an early playoff exit, the Milwaukee Bucks are already lookin ahead to compete for next season. Among the moves that can be considered by the front office is trading for New York Knicks star Mitchell Robinson to shore up the team’s front court rotation. Ever since the 2018-19 season, Brook Lopez has held the starting center job for Milwaukee. With the 2021-22 campaign as the exception, the one-time All-Star has always been a reliable choice to man the 5 spot with averages of 13.0 points, 5.2 boards, 1.2 assists, and 2.2 blocks per game for the six seasons he…

This can be seen in how he performed in his first year in the league with averages of…
