They had made the headlining move on the day of this season’s trade deadline in the form of sharpshooting forward Nikola Mirotic to keep up with the other action fellow contenders in the East made in the lead up to the deadline.
With an already deep roster that, save for a rare few, saw regular action on a nightly basis, the Bucks could have easily been content with the team they had built into what ended up being the best team by record.
