Milwaukee is now 26 games over .500 after beating a Brooklyn team that has played tough lately but it was not enough against the Bucks. Milwaukee is looking like a serious team and the league is taking notice. Even Anthony Davis based on the latest trade requests coming from his camp looks at Milwaukee like a team to join.

The Bucks now return to the Fiserv Forum to face the Wizards on Wednesday. Washington is a struggling team but are armed with the extreamly explosive Bradley Beal. Game time is 7pm and the crown will be happy to welcome the Bucks home.

Trade Idea: Anthony Davis To The Milwaukee Bucks

This Trade works in the trade machine and would also involve the Bucks including 2 First round picks to go along with Eric Bledsoe, Khris Middleton, Ersan Ilyasova, Thon Maker and Dante DiVincenzo. In return the Bucks would get back Anthony Davis, the expiring contract of Wesley Johnson and also point guard Elfrid Payton.

The move would give the Bucks a dynamic Duo with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis for at least a season and a half. Milwaukee would have arguably the best youngstar pairing in the league with Davis & Antetokounmpo.

Bucks Beat Pistons 115-105

Fresh off a loss in OKC the Milwaukee Bucks rolled into the motor city for a game against the Detroit Pistons. The league is buzzing about Anthony Davis’s trade demand and the Milwaukee Bucks are expected to make an offer in an attempt the add the big man. Who are the Bucks going to offer? Who might not be with the club for long? These are the type of thoughts that are going threw peoples minds and definitely would on some level have to be on the minds of players.

When Milwaukee showed up at the Little Caesars Arena and temperatures were at and below zero degrees outside. Pat Connaughton might have just broke out of Coach Buds Dog House after lighting up the building with 16 points in 22 mins on 7-8 shooting from the field. Milwaukee was lead by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 21 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocked shots.

Milwaukee is now 1-1 on the 5 game road trip and heading to Toronto for a face-off with the team thats been right behind them in the standings on top of the Eastern Conference. This game is going to have a playoff atmosphere and will test the Bucks on all levels.

Thunder Beat Bucks 118-112

The 14 points the Bucks were down by at the half turned out to be to much of a hill for the Bucks to climb in Oklahoma City. Giannis Antetokounmpo was blocked an unbelivable 7 times on his way to shooting 8-22 from the field. The Bucks shot only 68% from the free throw line and 43% from the field. When you shoot that bad your going to have a hard time winning games especially against a top team like OKC.

Trade Idea: Donte DiVincenzo & Thon Maker For Dennis Smith Jr. & Kostas Antetokounmpo

In the Trade Machine this deal works and would land the Bucks a special young guard that is not happy being a Maverick anymore. Dennis Smith Jr. was the 9th Pick in the 2017 Draft and is an explosive guard that any team in the NBA would like to make room for in their rotation. Also coming back in this trade would be Kostas Antetokounmpo the younger brother of “The Greek Freak” Giannis Antetokounmpo. Landing these two players would cost the Bucks a little and this is what I’m thinking would be fair. The Bucks should include Rookie and First Round Pick this year, Donte DiVincenzo. Also they should include the underachieving but still promising Thon Maker.

Giannis is close friends with Thon and considers him a little brother. To lighten the blow of this trade the Bucks would get back Giannis’s real brother, Kostas Antetokounmpo. Kostas is a project and would not expect to see real mins anytime soon but could grow and develop under his brothers direction. This Trade would also move Dennis Smith Jr. into the backup point guard spot and move George Hill over to the reserve shooting guard spot for the Bucks. 

Dallas would be adding a nice piece to build with next to Luka Doncic in Donte DiVincenzo. Also Thon Maker could possibly benefit from a change of scenery and play at least this year behind DeAndre Jordan and could first hand see the level of toughness he’s going to need to develop to become what he’s capable of as a Center in the NBA.

Tony Snell & Kawhi Leonard High School Teammates

Tony Snell & Kawhi Leonard were High School Teammates at Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, California. Each have made it to the NBA and made a great living for themselves and families. Its funny when you realize that they played together in High School when you realize that there arguably two of the most soft spoken people in the league. They each come off like the most humble soft-spoken men in the world.
