Why The Milwaukee Bucks Do The Deal
Honestly, this is a risk for the Bucks. Paul is definitely not the player he once was.
It’s hard to say with any confidence that he’ll be rotation-viable next year. If he isn’t, the Bucks will live to regret this deal.
On the other hand, imagine the potential payoff. Paul still has his razor-sharp basketball mind. He can still knock down triples. It’s possible that he’ll be valuable to a team like the Bucks next season.
