Quick look back

End of the regular season is finally here. It started late, got delayed and still lingers. Then playins and playoffs. And only after that a late draft and offseason, where Bucks are expected to be active, at least in talks if not in deals, with some big names needing new scenery.

So how did it go? Bucks shed some star power, brought in some rookies, made a trade or two, dumped a guy or two they should not, missed on a player or two in draft etc....

First trade of the offseason was Mitchell for picks nr 1 and a future pick. Edwards was always that pick. It looked bad at first but AntMan quieted the doubts in the second part of the season and the hopes are high for his future as a starting wing for the Bucks.

Next it was Towns for 3rd pick and another future pick. More toys for the general manager. Was Okongwu the right pick? It looks like Melo would be a better choice, could make a great 1-2 future punch for the Bucks and would also fill a lot of holes for this playoff run. But, OO looked really good in last couple of months and the front office still has high hopes for him. But is he worth KAT? Not a great trade in retrospective.

Nurkic was also brought back for WCJ and Prince. A fan favorite for a guy the GM never really liked and a guy that burnt out any value he had. Nurk missed most of the year with injuries, lost his starting spot (to Giannis though) and found himself on the trade market. His future with the team depends a lot on what happens with Giannis, if he stays, he’s probably gone. If Giannis leaves, he’s the new starter for the Milwaukee Bucks! Solid trade in retrospective. Little for pick 22 (?). Would probably select Bolmaro or maybe Hampton. Little looks like a player that will stay in the league, added a reliable three point shot this year and should continue to make steps in the right direction. The answer to whether this was the right move is yet undecided.

Then we dumped Vanderbilt, Horton Tucker, Chriss, Diakite for future picks (or nothing in last case). These moves had to be made due to roster crunch. Farm team and all that…

Hayes was taken at 6, still waiting to decide whether he’s good or not, wanted Avdija (I have a clearer opinion there) who was taken just a spot earlier. Williams fell to 11 and ruined my Haliburton pick and then Green at 20, another we’ll see pick.

All in all, an offseason of change, another will probably follow to transform the Bucks to better cope with future challenges and salary cap restrictions.
