Milwaukee Bucks

A Khris Middleton-Giannis Antetokounmpo-Rudy Gobert trifecta is a horrifying thought for just about any NBA fan that isn’t pulling for the Milwaukee Bucks. If Jon Horst had the chance to flip Jrue Holiday, Brook Lopez, and a future first-round pick for the ‘Stifle Tower’, there’d be serious issues for the Boston Celtics and their repeat Eastern Conference championship hopes.

Never mind that this would be the most cleverly nicknamed frontcourt in the history of the league. The ‘Greek Freak’ being flanked by another former Defensive Player of the Year would deter most drivers from rim-running at all, since it’d almost certainly end in vain.

The Bucks are a team that don’t necessarily need to tinker with their roster considering the last time it was fully healthy, a banner was raised. Still, in this day and age, it’s inconsiderate not to entertain trade proposals like this if you work in the Milwaukee front office.

If a ring-chasing point guard in free agency can be had for the MLE (Jalen Brunson perhaps?) the Bucks owe it to everyone to explore all Gobert trade options.
