The Milwaukee Bucks have made some splashes this offseason, and they might not be done yet.
Over the course of the past few days, the Bucks have made some of the most shocking moves in the league by adding Myles Turner and sending Damian Lillard into free agency. Those moves were mostly to try and rebuild a contending team around Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Going into the offseason, rumors swirled constantly about the two-time MVP’s future. Antetokounmpo hasn’t been shy about his interest in trying to win another title, and the Bucks have never shied away from making big moves to try and make it happen.
While Milwaukee’s flexibility is limited, it could still find a way to add another star-caliber player alongside Antetokounmpo. As the Phoenix Suns continue to work on a buyout with Bradley Beal, his next destination is becoming the top storyline in the NBA.
Bradley Beal is actively exploring his options with other teams in anticipation of a Suns buyout, league sources tell @TheSteinLine.
There will be considerable interest in Beal once he becomes an unrestricted free agent.

On Sunday, Marc Stein reported that Beal is exploring his options with other teams ahead of his anticipated buyout. The Bucks have been mentioned as a potential suitor and could give Beal everything he wants out of his next team.
While Milwaukee isn’t a glamorous destination like Miami, the Bucks’ pitch to Beal could be quite simple. Not only would he get to start and be the unquestioned backcourt leader, he’d have an opportunity to contribute to a potential contender in the East and play alongside Antetokounmpo.
Sure, acquiring Beal as he enters his 14th season in the league isn’t all that juicy on its own, but considering the Bucks’ needs, it could be a move that changes Milwaukee’s outlook for next season and beyond.
