The Milwaukee Bucks have a pair of key free agents in Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez, but they have also been involved in trade discussions for Bradley Beal. The Bucks also reportedly internally considered a trade for John Collins, who was moved this week by the Atlanta Hawks to the Utah Jazz.
"A team I heard at least had some relatively serious internal discussions about 'Should we wade into the John Collins thing?'" said Zach Lowe. "And I don't know if they contacted Atlanta or how serious it got, was Milwaukee. And that's interesting to me because I do think Milwaukee is looking around for, like, 'Can we get a little just injection of randomness? An injection of, like, balance and athleticism. And just change. Maybe just change more than anything else. I don't think it went anywhere serious.
"I think Phoenix even looked at him this time around and just doesn't have anything left after trading for [Bradley] Beal."
