2024 NBA Offseason: Milwaukee Bucks

Updated: 6/6/2024

Free Agents:

Patrick Beverly, UFA

Malik Beasley, UFA

Jae Crowder, UFA

Thanasis Antetokounmpo, UFA

2023-24 Season Overview:

The Bucks had an odd season in that they fired rookie coach Adrian Griffin early even though they were winning. They then hired coach Doc Rivers, who was basically .500. Milwaukee went from the No. 2 seed to No. 3; Giannis Antetokounmpo got injured; and they had no chance against the Pacers.

Offseason Goals

We know that Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton, the Bucks’ three All-Stars, as well as starting big man Brook Lopez will be there next season, but the rest of the roster is a mystery. There are Lillard trade rumors, but Milwaukee would become a lesser team for it. The first moves the Bucks should make are keeping defensive menace Patrick Beverly and marksmen Malik Beasley, as they are massive role guys for the Bucks. They might as well re-sign Jae Crowder for his versatility and Thanasis Antetokounmpo for being Giannis’ brother because they have no money or trade assets.

Milwaukee also has 23rd and 33rd picks of the 2024 NBA Draft, where the team could find a needed second-unit scorer like Devin Carter and a big like Kel’el Ware. What the Bucks have is basically what they will have for several seasons. Jumps in ability from Beauchamp and Jackson would help as well.
