RT6 - Question 4 - FA/Trade Targets
DIR By: Tim Wray

The absence of Khris Middleton for a significant amount of the
2016-17 season leaves a gaping hole in Milwaukee’s rotation. Who
are some potential free agency or trade targets the Bucks should
be looking at to fill the void in minutes between shooting guard
and small forward?

If the Bucks can get ANYTHING positive in return for Greg Monroe
I would do it. The problem is if they could do that it would
have happened already. One thing that would be a bad idea is
trading away pieces that might be useful in the future for a one
year rental that may or may not replace Khris' impact. It is
very likely that a frantic trade will result in Milwaukee giving
up more than they get back.

Rohan K - J.R. Smith is the best available shooting guard in
free-agency. However, the money he is commanding is much more
than the Bucks can offer him. It is possible to get to the $14
million range if the Bucks salary dump Greg Monroe, but would it
be worth it? Smith has played okay for the Cavaliers the last
year and a half, but he has a reputation of being a bad locker
room presence, which is not the best for the young core. Also,
it is highly unlikely that Smith signs anywhere besides
Cleveland.

Echoing what John said, not panicking needs to be top priority,
but that's not to say there aren't low risk flyers that could be
worth taking. Guys like Ben McLemore, P.J. Tucker and Robert
Covington all stand out to me, but they need to avoid making a
deal just to make a deal. See how the season starts maybe and
then go from there.

I'm pretty much with John and Adam on this one. Again, finding
a replacement for Khris Middleton is an impossible task and
while the Bucks will now be turning to players who have their
fair share of strengths and weaknesses to fill Middleton's
minutes, it's best to see what you have within your team first
before you make any decision that would affect your roster.

*See Above*
There isn't a realistic quick-fix to replace the production of
Khris Middleton, so please Bucks, don't make a rash decision.
