This Milwaukee Bucks Trade Would Work but would be Wild  Zion Williamson is only 23 years old. It feels like he has been in the league for years, partially because of all the massive press coverage that has surrounded him. He is on a massive contract (5 yrs-$197 million). That is why any of this could be even remotely possible: there is a chance New Orleans will want to move off this deal. Pairing Zion with Lillard and Giannis for the 2024-2025 season would certainly be one heck of a “last ride”, assuming Giannis and Dame take on that “championship…

The (47-28) Milwaukee Bucks take on the (25-50) Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday Night at home at the Fiserv. (It’ll be interesting to see how many fans do “the double”- seeing both the Brewers at noon and the Bucks at 6.) Milwaukee is heavily favored.

The Milwaukee Bucks Keep a Great Wisconsin Sports Day Rolling The (47-27) Milwaukee Bucks take on the (14-61) Washington Wizards on the road Wednesday Night. Damian Lillard is out. This game is a fun one to watch after what is looking like a possible Brewer Home-Opener win.  The Bucks are on a quest to win this year’s NBA Championship and are currently the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference. Washington is currently second-to-last in the East. The Wizards won one NBA Championship in 1978. They used to be called the Bullets. This has all the “vibes” of a trap game…

Bucks lose at home The now (46-26) Milwaukee Bucks lost to the (40-32) Los Angeles Lakers at home on Tuesday Night (128-124).

Milwaukee and head coach Doc Rivers played all of the starters a ton. The only possible silver lining for this one is that it really allowed the starters ample time to play with tired legs.  Milwaukee was up 101-91 with 3:08 to play,…

Milwaukee Bucks: Scoring, scoring, and more scoring The Bucks have an improved defense. Now it is time to ratchet back up their scoring. Over their past ten games the team has only averaged 114.9 points per contest. On the season the team is 3rd in the NBA with 120.9 points per game. When it comes to scoring, the Bucks are lucky. It helps to have two superstars: Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard who can score at will. But three players, Jae Crowder, Malik Beasley, and Khris Middleton need to provide, and provide more consistent, scoring for the team to have…

Milkmen News: Milwaukee Continues to Update their Roster for Next Season Baseball season is so close! The smell of fresh cut grass; the crack of the bat and the thud of the ball against the mitt are right around the corner.

Baseball starts at the Roc sports complex on May 10th. But before the season gets going the team has to fill out its roster. Since the team made its debut in 2018 there…
