As the 2018 NBA Draft draws ever nearer, one of the biggest questions surrounding the Milwaukee Bucks is whether they’ll look to explore trades or simply step up to the plate and make their pick at No.17.
Based on the franchise’s recent track record, they’d seem like a certainty to pick at the spot where they currently stand, but there have been plenty of changes across the organization over the past 12 months, introducing an element of unpredictability.
If the Bucks are to make a move, one of the most likely motivating factors could be as an attempt to shed some of their more troublesome contract in an attempt to move away from the luxury tax and create salary cap flexibility.
