A lot of Bucks rumors swirling around, sometimes it is the player(s) never mentioned that the Bucks end up acquiring. Top of my list would be Jae Crowder and Bojan Bogdanovic. Crowder has sat out all season and would be the tough, physical defender needed to guard Tatum/Brown deep in the playoffs (Tucker role) who can also stick the open 3. That allows Middleton to guard the other and Holiday on Smart.

Detroit is thinking long-term, a nice, young nucleus with Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren. The Bucks are able to trade their 2029 first-round pick, but that might seem too distant for some teams. Bogdanovic is having a career year averaging 20+ PPG and shooting 41% from beyond the arc (with size). At 34, doesn't make sense for the Pistons not to flip him for future, young talent and/or draft picks.

I hate to say it, because I like his potential, but the Bucks may have to consider Marjon Beauchamp if they want to go "all-in" on winning titles over the next few years (in addition to Grayson Allen or even Connaughton). If Connaughton has more value than Allen, you might trade Connaughton and keep Allen. Those two are similar, even though I prefer Connaughton. Joe Ingles is coming into his own, get Middleton back, and if you can add Crowder or Bogdanovic.....that would be ideal IMO.
