the Milwaukee Bucks could bring back a familiar face to help them. Two former players in mind are Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig, both of whom currently play for the Chicago Bulls.
Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale proposed the following trade between the Bucks and Bulls, which would reunite Milwaukee with both, in a July 12 story.
Favale explained why Carter would fit well with the Bucks despite not coming off the best season.
“Carter is working off a down-shooting season, but Chicago’s depth-chart setup didn’t do him any favors. The Bucks will be able to tee him up for higher-quality looks from distance, he has experience playing beside this core, and his return gives them another viable point-of-attack defender on top of Delon Wright.”
Favale then explained Craig’s appeal to the Bucks as a player.
“He is shooting above 39 percent from downtown over the past two years, albeit on modest volume, and arms the Bucks rotation with another body to deploy against power wings and bigger forwards. He also remains one of the league’s sneakier offensive rebounders.”
Since they both played for the Bucks in the past, they could be useful on familiarity alone.
As a team that is hovering around the NBA’s second tax apron, the Bucks have limited options for how they can improve their team. They’ve added some solid reinforcements in Wright and Taurean Prince. Carter and Craig could give them more, and they might be attainable.
The Bulls have signaled that they intend to rebuild. They traded Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Josh Giddey. They then signed-and-traded DeMar DeRozan to the Sacramento Kings for Chris Duarte and cash. They’ve tried to trade Zach LaVine for months and Nikola Vucevic could follow him.
