3. Trade for Jae Crowder

Jae Crowder is a name that is commonly associated with both great defense as well as three-point shooting. In further good news, he’s extremely affordable.

Crowder will become a free agent after the season and will only make $7.8 million this year, a fairly decent deal that makes him very easy to trade for.

It seems like this move would be a no brainer if the rebuilding Memphis Grizzlies were willing to part ways with the 29-year-old forward. Going into free agency soon, Crowder would likely be eager to join a contender such as the Bucks to prove himself worthy of a long-term deal with a good team going forward.

Given their current situation, the Grizzlies would likely be willing to part with Crowder for draft compensation to help their rebuild, a deal that would likely work for both sides given the return the Bucks received in the Malcolm Brogdon sign-and-trade.
