Bucks could go after $ 66 million

Milwaukee Bucks continues to push forward this season as they appear to be ready for the playoffs in a few weeks. Milwaukee started the season very slowly, but they have since fought back and are now one of the elite teams in the eastern conference.

While Bucks is focused on winning another NBA championship this season, the front office is probably starting to think of the high season. There will be many questions to answer from Milwaukee this summer and the team will have a few options to work with.

But with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, who lead the charge, Milwaukee just has to focus on putting the right free pieces around them. Bucks brought Kyle Kuzma into the trade deadline to help things and so far it has been a trouble -free fit for everyone involved.

But this season, Bucks could investigate adding more shooting from 3-point soil as well as defense from the wing site. A name that could fit the bill is veteran Kentavious Caldwell-Pope of Orlando Magic.

Zach Buckley from Bleacher Report indicated Caldwell-Pope as a potential trade target for Bucks this season. His ability on the basketball floor is exactly what Bucks could use forward.

“Finding a wing that can give shooting and at least acceptable defense should be the target. Caldwell-Pope has been cold all season, but he would be a huge finding if Milwaukee could help him rediscover his stroke.”

Caldwell-Pope hasn’t played well in his first season in Orlando and could be looking for a chance of scenery. The veteran fits well with Bucks’ Star players, and he has experience playing with Kuzma from their days with Los Angeles Lakers.

The veteran has an average of 8.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 stealing per day. Fight this year. Caldwell-Pope also shoots only 30.8 percent from a distance this year, a steep fall from his 40.6 percent shooting in the previous season.

Both he and the magic could look like a change, and this is where Milwaukee could come in. This would be an excellent grip for bucks and something that could potentially fit this summer.
