The Wisconsin franchise has only the 22nd defensive efficiency in the 2023/24 NBA season and wants to improve to be able to do well in the playoffs
Still very active in the exchange market to try to reinforce his squad during the 2023/24 season, the Milwaukee Bucks is keeping an eye on a list of players who could arrive by February 8th. According to the journalist from “Bleacher Report”, Chris Haynesdefense is the sector that the franchise of Wisconsin most want to pay attention when reformulating their squad.
“The Milwaukee Bucks are being aggressive to make improvements to their defense for the remainder of the 2023/24 NBA season. That’s the team’s big focus to increase their title chances in Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s first year together. Three names stand out for the franchise. Alex Caruso of the Chicago Bulls, Dorian Finney-Smith of the Brooklyn Nets and Matisse Thybulle of the Portland Trail Blazers. Despite different positions, they are names that, for the franchise, would help solve the problems seen in the first half of 2023/24.”he stated.
The team isn’t doing too bad this season, with 29 wins and 13 losses, but there is a problem in defense. This is because the team has been sustained by its performance in attack. The Bucks have the second highest offensive efficiency in the entire league, but are 22nd among defenses. Another possibility would be Dejounte Murray, according to the reporter. But an agreement is unlikely. “Milwaukee consulted Atlanta on Murray; a contact actually took place between the teams. However, without a lot of draft pick capital, a trade for number 5 is not the most likely path for the future with the Bucks. But they have some players that the Hawks like, which could make it easier for other trades to be closed between them. It’s good to keep an eye out”he commented.
Marc Stein also revealed an interest from the Giannis Antetokounmpo It is Damian Lillard at the shipowner. “Right now, Milwaukee wants to pave the way for itself in the negotiations for Dejounte Murray. There are many other candidates, but the Bucks want to establish themselves as a clear competitor for the athlete.”he commented.
