Why This Trade Would Benefit The Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks have been unable to take that next step in the postseason and it is partially because of their lineup configuration. When the best player on the floor is a big, it makes sense for the team to add shooters around him. This is where the front office could look for a deal at the deadline. 

Tucker is an intriguing target for many reasons. He is in the final year of his which makes him a low-risk move for the Bucks. They would have plenty of options to do once free agency hits.

Tucker wants an extension and that was made clear when he did not get one from the Rockets. He would give the Bucks another option on the perimeter when defenses collapse down on Giannis in the lane.
