Wing Support

Although with Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo already in tow further additions to wing positions may not seem like the most pressing of needs for the Bucks, they really could do with some support in reserve.

Milwaukee’s bench is paper thin and scheduled to get even thinner when free agency hits this summer. A top priority will not only be to rebuild it but also to diversify some of the skill sets brought to the table. So why not start that task now via trade, if Monroe was to be moved?

Lockdown defenders and spot-up shooters would be at the top of any such list and if the Bucks could find some real quality parts that could be slotted in at those positions all of a sudden they would have genuinely varied options depending on the matchup.

How much better would the Bucks be overall if they could add an Avery Bradley or a Jae Crowder into the mix? What about Trevor Ariza?

Wing specialists are likely going to be near the top of Milwaukee’s shopping list this summer, so if they could do a deal where part of the return was an elite wing, I’m sure they’d be open to that possibility.
