The Milwaukee Bucks are going into this off-season with aspirations of turning their team back into a championship contender. In 2021 the Bucks proved to the league that they were in fact a championship caliber team, however, in the three post-seasons since that year they’ve been eliminated in the first or second round.
However, there could be a move on the way that would bring another All-Star to their team.
The Milwaukee Bucks Reportedly One Of The Few Teams Eyeing All-Star

According to the Bucks Zone on Twitter:
As the potential Brandon Ingram landing spots grow thinner in number, the Milwaukee Bucks and LA Clippers could be teams monitoring the All-Star, per Will Guillory.
“Teams like the Milwaukee Bucks and LA Clippers could use Ingram to boost their title chances … The pressure on the Pelicans grows with each day they fail to solve their Brandon Ingram problem.”
According to William Guilory of The Athleic:
Amid the volatility surrounding free agency every year, decisions often come down to a simple numbers game.
In Brandon Ingram’s case, the numbers haven’t been working in his favor lately, leaving him with quite an uncertain future.
It started when the New Orleans Pelicans made it clear to him and his representation that they weren’t interested in signing the 26-year-old to the four-year, $208 million max extension Ingram was seeking this offseason, according to league sources.
He later goes on to say:
With those three teams no longer viable Ingram destinations, it’s difficult to find a sensible move that’ll allow Ingram to find a new, long-term home and the Pelicans to get what they need back in a trade. Teams like the Milwaukee Bucks and LA Clippers could use Ingram to boost their title chances, but would have trouble assuming the massive financial risk of acquiring him.
Some combination of the Houston Rockets’ young pieces for Ingram makes some sense, but the Rockets are aiming higher in their quest to add a bigger superstar. Giving up valuable assets to add Ingram at this point would be shortsighted.
On the other hand, teams like the Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers that could take on the long-term financial risk of adding Ingram on a new deal are more interested in tanking for next year’s draft than getting a player about to enter the prime of his career.
