New Orleans Pelicans: The Bucks Trade that Makes Sense for Both Teams

A Trade with the Bucks that Helps both Teams

The Milwaukee Bucks have built an interesting team. They can go very big, with Giannis Antetokounmpo playing point forward and the two Lopez twins playing power forward and center.

But the Bucks used these big lineups less and less as the season went on, and have abandoned them altogether in the playoffs, preferring to surround Giannis with more shooting.

This is why this trade could make perfect sense for both sides:

The rare one-for-trade in the NBA that actually works.

Not only do the salaries match up, but Melli and Lopez are near the same age, and both are on team-friendly contracts that could be very valuable if they maximize their talents.

This one may seem like a minor trade that wouldn’t really move the needle either way, but it would help to balance both rosters and give them both something they need.
