Being home didn’t resolve the Bucks issues that started after Jrue Holiday tested positive for COVID-19.  A lack-luster performance on both sides of the ball, poor lineups and some questionable calls spelled disaster for Milwaukee.  Being tied at the ends of both the first and second quarters, the Bucks fell apart in the second half.

There’s a lot of chatter amongst Bucks’ fans lately about potentially trading Brook Lopez.  While Milwaukee has not shown any indication of getting rid of Brook, there’s a definite possibility he could be moved before the deadline if the front office determines they can upgrade.  Keep in mind, if a trade happens, it’s with the Milwaukee’s assumption the addition(s) help them this season as they aren’t looking to rebuild.   With that being said, let’s adventure into the possible deals that could be made!

The stars showed up for both teams through out the game.  Durant and Harden finished with 64 points combined, while the Bucks’ trio of Giannis, Middleton and Jrue combined for 81.  Overall, Milwaukee didn’t shoot well from the field but managed to stay in the game until the very…
