[@lazzi2462]

Sign & trade PG for Khris Middleton. The Bucks' weakness the past 5 years has always been the lack of a big wing defender, even when they had Jrue. As good as Jrue was, he's smaller & the Bucks relied on him way too much because their other wing players were also undersized or just sucked defensively. The past 5 years they've had guys like Pat Connaugton, Grayson Allen, Beasley, PJ Tucker, Wes Matthews, Divincenzo, Brogdon, etc. Middleton was the only one with some size & length, but since all of them injuries, he's very slow on defense now. Jrue was great but he also had trouble guarding bigger wing players, like Butler, Tatum, Brown, KD, LeBron, Kawhi, Luka, etc. I mean he can defend them for a few plays & do well but asking him to cover guys that are much bigger than him for a full game or series was a tough ask, as we saw what Butler did to him in the '23 Playoffs. Swap PG for Khris, & PG fixes those issues for Milwaukee, while Khris would probably fit in better with the Clippers as he doesn't need the ball as much, & Harden is probably a better facilitator than Dame & Giannis, so he'll get easier looks.

[@vulcanraven9701]

[@reactivatedyt9788]

Lakers and Indiana should be trying to everything to land em. Cause the front runners are Knicks and Philly.

[@SwypeTee]

In the east I'd say the best potential fits are the: Heat- they could use a more sizeable wing scorer with Jimmy that could also play def. I don't really consider him an elite defender at this point but Jimmy could focus more on def with bam. As a clipper fan id be willing to take you Herro and Duncan Robinson as the main core in a sign and trade and I might even be willing to give up zubac for picks because I don't think we should keep George id rather actually get Jimmy Butler but if that's not on the table Herro scoring Duncan shooting picks to get younger on the bench. Not a bad deal for George at his age. Cavs- with D. Mitchell and garland both potentially tryna move. There has been talk garland may not want to play with Mitchell. I think mobley has 20 ppg 10 RPG potential. Maybe Mitchell for George id be willing to swing more there way to also get Jarret Allen and have zubac as a back up okoro also solid two way guy. Knicks- I think with of on the team you could probably trade randle for George straight up. Clippers wise gives us a different type of scorer and keeps Leonard at the 3 which I prefer I don't think he works at the 4 so would probably be a great move for both teams of can slide to the 4. Sixers- I actually think this would be the worst team for him to go to because of the coaching. Consider I think T. Harris was a solid scorer but they never figured out how to use him. George is a better ball handler so you could put the ball in his hands but there off ball offense sucks.
