Why This Trade Would Benefit The Milwaukee Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo has led the Milwaukee Bucks to the best record in the NBA over the last two years. They have not won in the postseason because of their lineup configuration.
At the end of the day, the NBA has turned into a three-point league and that is where the Bucks could look to add another shooter. They can overwhelm teams with their floor spacing already, but adding Cedi Osman into the mix would only further their efforts.
When the best player on the floor is a physical freak of a big man, it would benefit the team greatly to surround him with shooters. Cedi Osman is a strong shooter who would be able to contribute to the team immediately.
This would help come the playoffs against teams like the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers, that can shoot the ball from deep. They would have to part ways with some draft capital but if they are near the top of the league, Milwaukee will not miss those picks.
The front office has to be getting tired of coming so close but not being able to take the next step. This is when executives begin to make some big moves in one could be on the horizon for the Bucks.
