The Victor Oladipo rumors surrounding the Milwaukee Bucks have been a trending topic recently, but what are the risks in trading for the guard?
Since their season ended last month, the Milwaukee Bucks’ desire to upgrade their roster has been well-documented to this point and the list of potential candidates seemingly grows by the day.
The latest name to get thrown into the mix is arguably the riskiest, with that being Victor Oladipo of the Indiana Pacers.

In the latest episode of ‘The Lowe Post’ with The Ringer’s Bill Simmons, Zach Lowe of ESPN dropped some head turning comments on the Oladipo trade rumors looming over Indiana:
"“I’ll give you a team I’m keeping my eye on with Victor Oladipo: Milwaukee. Just keeping my eye on them.”"
There is no official interest between Oladipo and the Bucks just yet, however, as these comments came as a brainstorming exercise as to how contending teams can get better. For Milwaukee, this is a move that has all the potential in the world to succeed and backfire just as much.
The Bucks will unquestionably look to upgrade their backcourt this offseason, and Oladipo is an interesting case. With his future as a member of the Indiana Pacers a hot topic of discussion lately, it would not be surprising if Milwaukee was keeping an eye on the situation.
With trade season heating up in the NBA, this rumor will undoubtedly come up more down the road. Previously covering three reasons why the Bucks should pursue Oladipo, here are three of the biggest risks in potentially pursuing the two-time All-Star.
