Raptors trade rumors: 5 teams who could acquire Gary Trent Jr.
By Mike Luciano
3. Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks are going to throw caution to the wind in order to maximize their championship window in Giannis Antetokounmpo’s prime. That includes largely pushing the draft to the side in order to add role players that can drill open 3-pointers after Giannis sucks the defense inside.
Brook Lopez and Joe Ingles are both free agents after this season, and Grayson Allen only has one year left on his deal. Why not combine all of the money allocated to those players and make a run at a potential long-term answer at shooting guard like Trent?
Can the Milwaukee Bucks steal Gary Trent Jr. from the Toronto Raptors?
The Bucks might be the hardest team of the five to get a deal done with, as their draft picks will be less valuable thanks to how late they will be and the fact that most of their money is tied up in three players. Still, an aggressive executive like Jon Horst may just go broke and add Trent.
The Bucks with Trent might be the most complete offense in the league, while the Raptors could end up building a future centered entirely around Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and young dynamo Scottie Barnes.
