The Milwaukee Bucks may have made the biggest move of the NBA season by trading Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat. According to NBA insider Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, the Bucks have been exploring potential ways they could acquire former Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga.
What happened?
The Bucks now have a $25.5 million Traded Player Exception following the blockbuster Antetokounmpo deal and may acquire Kuminga via a sign-and-trade or a straight trade with Atlanta.
Why it matters for Milwaukee Bucks
Kuminga could still go back to Atlanta, or he could still leave by way of sign-and-trade. The Bucks also still have a $7.2 million trade exception from last year’s Khris Middleton-for-Kyle Kuzma trade.
What comes next?
In 16 regular-season games with the Hawks, Kuminga averaged 12.3 points and 5.3 rebounds. In the playoffs, Kuminga averaged 13.7 points and 3.3 rebounds against the New York Knicks in round one.
