Win in 6 Podcast #255: Assessing the East in the short and long term

The latest episode of our Milwaukee Bucks podcast arrives with discussion of roster construction, the shape of the East, depth, and more.

The Win In 6 Podcast is back for a length and wide-ranging episode that covers a lot of ground on all things Milwaukee Bucks.

With the Bucks back on top of the East, boasting frontrunners in both MVP and Coach of the Year discussion, and largely appearing set up to keep that positive momentum going throughout the rest of the year, there’s no shortage to good feeling surrounding the team.

Still, the shadow of free agency looms as a constant conversation point among Bucks fans, as Milwaukee may be facing an expensive series of deals if they’re to return this group for another season.

With that in mind, we discussed the Bucks’ roster construction and the challenges posed by having inconsistent second and third options such as Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe. We also considered the challenges facing the rest of the East in free agency this summer, and how they may influence Milwaukee’s own decisions.

We also discussed the Bucks’ impressive depth and how it could be the decisive factor in making them a real contender, particularly as D.J. Wilson and Sterling Brown continue to thrive.

Lastly, we wrapped up by taking questions from our listeners in the mailbag, with trades free agency, and potential playoff matchups all sparking discussion.

Joining me for this episode, only somewhat avoiding tooting his own horn, was Jordan Treske.
