Milwaukee Bucks: 8 teams who could take Jabari Parker away
4. Atlanta Hawks
The Bucks and the Atlanta Hawks already seem to have a connection given the hire of the former Hawks’ head coach Mike Budenholzer in Milwaukee. They were also rumored to be close to a trade on draft night before Atlanta backed out due to media reporting draft picks beforehand.
Still, that could set the table for any trade between the two teams. The Hawks are deep in rebuild mode and are a few years away from being a few years away. That could allow them to throw some extra money Parker’s way in hopes that he reaches his max potential.
Any deal with the Hawks could also lead to a potential cap-clearing deal for the Bucks as well. They cold attach Delladova, Henson or both in exchange for Dewayne Dedmon and Kent Bazemore.
Dedmon could be a nice player for the Bucks and just has one year and $6.3 million remaining. Bazemore is a different story, however, He’d be a great fit with Milwaukee, as he’s a great outside shooter. Unfortunately, he’s set to make $18 million this season and has a player option for $19.2 million next year. Still, it might allow the Bucks to turn two bad contracts into one bad one.
