3. Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks are the defending NBA Champions, as they defeated the Phoenix Suns in six games earlier this summer. They will be bringing back the majority of their core, as Bryn Forbes, P.J. Tucker, and Jeff Teague are the only players who saw minutes in the playoffs that won’t be back.
The Milwaukee Bucks did a solid job replacing them, as Grayson Allen was acquired from the Memphis Grizzlies via trade. Rodney Hood and Semi Ojeleye were signed in free agency to help on the wings.
The Milwaukee Bucks could use another point guard but will be getting Donte DiVincenzo back from injury this season and still have Pat Connaughton. But, if there is one thing they could still use, it is a reliable backup center.
Bobby Portis can play minutes at the center spot but could be used to help soak up minutes at the power forward spot. Acquiring a veteran such as Marc Gasol would help bolster the team’s backcourt if Brook Lopez missed some time.

Gasol can offer a similar skill set to Lopez as a center to stretch the floor and impact the game defensively. Gasol’s passing prowess would add another dimension to the Bucks’ offense, as well.
