Why the Bucks Should Do It
On a macro level, both of these teams possibly have something to lose if they stand pat and do nothing. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Paul George, and even Leonard can all be free agents in 2021.
The Bucks are trying to convince Giannis Antetokounmpo to stay.
Acquiring George would be the kind of all-in move that could show Antetokounmpo Milwaukee is serious about building a winner around him.
George is all too familiar with the burden of expectations, and they’d certainly follow him to Milwaukee. But George would also get out of the spotlight of Los Angeles, where he took a lot of heat for his playoff performance and ensuing comments.
A change of scenery could be good for George, as he’d have the chance for a fresh start in Milwaukee.
