The Milwaukee Bucks remain in that state where they have to do everything they can to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo happy and prevent a trade request.
There’s one more move they can make to help that cause.
SB Nation’s Ricky O’Donnell writes that the Bucks should sign future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul.
“Will CP3 choose to be closer to his family in LA, or go for the situation where he can actually be a starter?” O’Donnell writes. “This is Chris Paul we are talking about, one of the most competitive players in league history, and I just can’t see him going out in a small role. Paul still has some gas left in the tank after starting all 82 games for the Spurs last year, and while his scoring punch has diminished, he could still be a valuable table-setter for the Bucks next to Giannis Antetokounmpo while playing for his old coach Doc Rivers. Milwaukee desperately needs more guards on the roster, and that should mean a big role for CP3 in his final year before retirement.”

Most reports have indeed indicated that Paul wants to stay out in the Los Angeles area.
But yeah, Milwaukee gives him a chance to start a season after he started every game.
Paul isn’t the player he once was, but he’s still an efficient table setter who would be exactly the veteran presence Milwaukee could need.
The East is wide open, and adding CP3 could put the Bucks right in the hunt.
