The Bucks have a strong core with Antetokounmpo and the newly acquired Myles Turner. Adding Paul to that mix could be the spark they need to make another deep playoff run. It’s now just a matter of whether the East Coast pull outweighs his West Coast heart.

With the team agreeing to a four-year, $107 million deal with Myles Turner, Milwaukee needed to make room for him by waiving and stretching Damian Lillard. While it was controversial, the ultimate sentiment is that if Giannis Antetokounmpo is happy, then that’s all that matters.

It’s only been a few months since the Milwaukee Bucks emerged as a potential suitor for then disgruntled Jimmy Butler. However, their interest in the six-time All-Star goes back way further than that.
