Don't mistake peacefulness for being complacent. Although the Milwaukee Bucks haven't made a move in a few days after the firestorm of deals that included signing Myles Turner, Jericho Sims, and Gary Harris within an hour or so, this team isn't done making moves. It appears they are just waiting to see who exactly they want when they hit the market.
Bucks likely scouting the buyout market
Milwaukee's next target might not be available yet. Though many of the marquee free agents are not on the board, several household names could join the party late via buyouts from their current teams.
The most prominent name is Bradley Beal of the Phoenix Suns. Rumors have been swirling that the two sides are trending toward a split, which would allow Beal to handpick his next team. The Bucks are among the teams that would certainly have interest. While trading for Beal was always far from desirable, potentially landing him on a minimum deal would be a more alluring avenue.
Washington is also another interesting suitor. After their trade for Cam Whitmore, their roster is filled to the brim, and they need to make room sooner or later. With a clear youth movement, it would make sense to cut ties with one of the veterans, including Khris Middleton, CJ McCollum, or Marcus Smart, to allow them to go elsewhere, more than likely to a contender.
Of course, everyone is also waiting for a resolution on the Ryan Rollins situation. The guard remains a free agent despite a mini-breakout in Milwaukee last season. While it still feels like the Bucks will keep him around, there's no guarantee. Plenty of teams are rumored to be in the hunt for his services, and losing him could put even more pressure on Milwaukee's shoulders to make more moves.
No matter how they go about it, the Milwaukee Bucks cannot be done making moves. As the roster currently stands, they have glaring depth issues at point guard and small forward, with Kevin Porter Jr. and Taurean Prince standing as the lone names at each. That cannot remain the case, but there's not much the Bucks can do until their next potential target becomes available.
Perhaps Milwaukee waiting to see who becomes available is why they haven't moved forward with the re-signing or Rollins or even flat-out signed Chris Paul, a player they've reportedly checked in on.
