Following the buyout of Damian Lillard earlier this month, the Milwaukee Bucks were believed to be a viable free agent destination for veteran floor general Chris Paul.
Considering their win-now mentality, what with all-world forward Giannis Antetokounmpo still proudly leading the charge, to many, the idea of pursuing the 12-time All-Star seemed like a no-brainer.
In the end, Paul opted to stay on the west coast and reunite with the title-hopeful LA Clippers for his farewell season in the association, as he agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million deal on Monday.
Now, some Bucks fans may find solace in the fact that even though they lost out on the CP3 sweepstakes, they still have several young and intriguing options to roll out at the one spot with the likes of Kevin Porter Jr.
