Why The Milwaukee Bucks Do It2 of 4 The Milwaukee Bucks need a healthy running mate for Giannis Antetokounmpo with Damian Lillard expected to miss most (if not all) of the 2025-26 season while recovering from a torn Achilles. Trading for Trae Young would both accomplish that goal and help financially to improve the roster around the two All-Stars. Young is 26 and should just be entering his prime.

The 2025 NBA draft is less than two weeks away, with plenty of star power and storylines to go around. Would the Dallas Mavericks actually consider trading the No. 1 overall pick for a third star?

The Indiana Pacers won Game 3 on their home floor, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder behind strong outings from Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam and Bennedict Mathurin to take a 2-1 series lead. With the Pacers only holding a slight advantage, trying to pick a Finals MVP to this point isn't easy. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the runaway scoring leader, yet his team trails by a game in the series. Haliburton hit the winning shot in Game 1 but was otherwise pretty mediocre over the first two contests.

The Dallas Mavericks have a no-brainer choice with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft, which they landed despite entering the lottery with minuscule odds of winning it. Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs were poised to be awesome for the next half-decade or more even before they ended up with the No. 2 pick. However, the 2025 draft could swing the entire trajectory of a number of rebuilding teams.

Lauri Markkanen could be one of the top names on the NBA trade market this summer, as the 28-year-old no longer fits a Utah Jazz team that just finished with the worst record in the league (17-65) this past season. Unfortunately, the Jazz probably waited a year too long to trade Markkanen, as his numbers dropped this past season after beginning a raise and extension that will now pay the 7-footer $195 million over the next four years.
