Why The Milwaukee Bucks Do The Deal
Let’s be clear. If the Bucks win an NBA title this season, they don’t do this deal.
At this moment, they may be the favorites. A second title in three years would require this team to keep its core together. A trade like this won’t be an option.
Let’s assume they don’t. Suddenly, changes could occur. In that event, this deal could be perfect. If Barrett reaches his potential by playing alongside a superstar like Giannis Antetokoumnpo, they could easily win this trade.
Meanwhile, Brook Lopez is a free agent this summer as well. Following a potential Defensive Player of the Year campaign, he may get a huge contract elsewhere.
