Bucks predicted to land former Lakers Center on the acquisition market

Milwaukee Bucks has fought back from a very slow start to the season. The team has done a good job, but they have had small lapse of inconsistency along the way.

Sometimes Milwaukee looks very dangerous and others as if they could be a first round of the end game. But this team has continued to struggle through and it has made them much closer as a unit.

Bucks was recently exposed to a brutal battle when the forward Bobby Portis was suspended for most of the rest of the regular season. This left a big hole for Milwaukee in the rotation and team in the frontcourt and moves forward.

Zach Buckley from Bleacher Report released some predictions to the buyout market and got Milwaukee to add a center. It would be Center Mo Bamba that is currently a free agent.

“The 7-foot never fully tapped the potential that once made him No. 6 elections of the 2018 draft, but he still offers an interesting blend of size, shot block and floor distance. He may not be Brook Lopez 2.0, but he could fill a similar role in Spurts along with Giannis Antetokounmpo.

“Bucks fans would be wise to forget Bamba’s draft pedigree. He shuts in on his 27th anniversary, and if he signed in Milwaukee, it would be his fifth different teams since the start of the 2022-23 season. He has never been the interior presence that his size says he should be and his engine is not the most reliable.”

Bamba wouldn’t be the perfect addition, but he could give them some lovely minutes down the season’s stretch. The former lottery choice has not lived up to the hype that surrounded him into the NBA, but he could become a serviced rotation piece with this bucks team.

If anything, he would give them more depth in the frontcourt, allowing some older players more rest time as the playoffs get closer. This signing could do very well for Bucks, and it’s something that the team might want to look more heavy.
