In another exciting chapter of this trade season, Milwaukee Bucks have on their radar probably the most desired player of these days, Dejounte Murray. According revelations from Bleacher Report's Chris Haynes, the Bucks are working to offer a suitable deal to the Atlanta Hawks to get the services of the young star guard.
Amid trade talks surrounding Murray's situation with the Hawks, Miwaukee have expressed strong interest in exploring the possibility of adding the talented player to their roster to form a fearsome 'Big Three' alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and recently acquired superstar, Damian Lillard.
Trade asset values could present a challenge for the Bucks. They already made significant moves in acquiring Jrue Holiday in 2020 and closed another big trade for Lillard himself this past summer.
But the team's determination is clear: to form an elite 'Big Three' with Giannis, Dame and now, potentially, Dejounte Murray.
This attempt by the Bucks to consolidate a stellar trinity demonstrates their ambition to stay at the top of the league.
The franchise is the top contender for a ring in the Eastern Conference alongside the Boston Celtics, who sit atop the standings with a 32-10 record, while Milwaukee is 2nd at 28-13.
