Milwaukee came dangerously close to making a summer signing that could've wrecked their entire season. Watching Chris Paul implode in Los Angeles is proof that the Bucks' front office dodged a bullet they didn't even know was coming at them.
According to Jake Fischer on his latest post on The People's Insider (subscription required), Paul had interest from teams such as the Bucks, Knicks, Mavericks, and Suns, but he was determined to stay as close to his family as possible, which led to him signing with LA.
Milwaukee was on that list. They were sold on the idea of bringing CP3 in, probably imagining veteran leadership and playoff experience helping guide their young guards.
