The Milwaukee Bucks have made it clear this offseason that they’re not just sitting around hoping things magically fall into place. They’re determined to build a squad that can get them back to the NBA Finals while Giannis Antetokounmpo is still in his prime.
On Monday, they made another big move to shake things up, pulling off a trade with the Charlotte Hornets that’s got fans buzzing. This time, they said goodbye to Pat Connaughton, a familiar face for Milwaukee fans, and dealt a pair of draft picks in exchange for a veteran they’re convinced could add just the spark they need to push them over the top.
