Do you have your eyes on any early trade targets?

Sell: Ayo Dosunmu of the Chicago Bulls. What's not to like about a 6-foot-5 combo guard who plays fiery on both sides of the ball? A backcourt group of Lillard, Trent, Wright and Dosunmu would be a fearsome bunch on both sides of the court, providing an excellent mix of scoring, shooting and tough defense. With a $7 million salary, he's also on a very affordable deal for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Moxon: Bruce Brown is someone that always interests me with his ability to defend on the wing, same with Dorian Finney-Smith. They would be both great additions but contractually may be difficult to trade for.

Darias: I’m a huge Kris Dunn guy. I’ve already stated what I think a good version of Delon Wright could bring to the team, and Dunn is actually a better version of that. I don’t think the Clippers are going to be willing to trade him at first, but if they don’t have a strong start of the season things could get tricky for them and the Bucks could try to take advantage of that.

LB: I may be in the minority here but I genuinely think the Bucks don't need to make a trade. What this team needs is some continuity, and some strong veteran leadership to get them to 50 wins in the regular season. Then, at that point, they need some strong play in the playoffs. What will matter most for this team is to be healthy heading into the postseason. Plan for Giannis and Dame and Khris to play 68 games and then roll!

Schickert: An early trade target I'd have my eyes on is possibly Walker Kessler. If the Bucks are going to continue their youth movement, the next logical place to do so is at center in preparation for Brook Lopez's retirement or departure. If the Jazz are really bad (a likely scenario) and they start selling pieces off, maybe the Bucks can grab a young center with shot-blocking ability.

Luna: I've seen Kris Dunn's name thrown around quite a bit and the more I think about it, the more I can talk myself into seeing him in a Bucks jersey. Defensively, Dunn could definitely shine alongside Lillard and give the Bucks more toughness in the backcourt.
