Why The Milwaukee Bucks Do The Deal
Of course, if this deal is to be worth the Bucks’ while, they must need Curry’s shot creation. Here’s the thing – they do.
We already mentioned the Bucks’ failure to vanquish the Celtics in this year’s playoffs. In all likelihood, they could have done so with a healthy Khris Middleton.
At the same time, that’s the danger of having such a shallow offensive team. Giannis Antetkounmpo may be the best player in the league, and Middleton is a sufficient sidekick. Meanwhile, Jrue Holiday is a star too, but he’s known for his two-way impact – he’s a good offensive player, but not an elite one.
In other words, the Bucks could use a shot creator to rely on if one of their Big 3 gets hurt, or when both Antetokounmpo and Middleton need to rest. Curry can be that guy.
