Like mufan2003 said, need to let all the moves playout before fully analyzing.

The Bucks cannot waste a single postseason opportunity with Giannis and Dame. Last year there was a bit of an excuse with Dame not training in the offseason (so an injury would not derail his trade request) and Doc coming over in the middle of the season.

This season, everyone had a full offseason and Doc had training camp to instill his style. If the trade deadline passes and it simply results in Kyle Kuzma for Khris Middleton, that will be disappointing. Sims, while nice to get younger and add size, won't obviously move the needle much this season. There has to be something else, otherwise you might as well have stuck with Khris and given the three (Giannis, Dame, Middleton) a chance to show what they could do in the playoffs.

While Portis and Connaughton are the names consistently being mentioned to be on the trading block, I wonder if Brook is at 37? As usual, probably for the right deal, but you really have no proven size outside Brook. I am hoping for a proven, 2-way wing with size......even if you have to give up the 2031 first-round pick as well.
