There’s something of an elephant in the room for the Bucks to start the 2024–25 season in the form of longtime role player Pat Connaughton. It seems like the vast majority of fans want him off the team in some way or another. Some will trade him for a bag of potato chips, some will happily include a draft pick to rid Milwaukee of his remaining salary, some are happy to release him and eat his contract, some hope he’ll be part of a trade that helps—or at least doesn’t hurt—the team in the long or short term, et cetera.
