The Milwaukee Bucks shook up their backcourt this offseason, waiving All-Star Damian Lillard and bringing in a few potential replacements.
They may still be looking for some help among their guards, and may target a new arrival at a rival in the East. The Boston Celtics acquired Anfernee Simons during the offseason, and Sam Amico of Hoops Wire reports the Bucks could make a move on the guard.
Bucks big Bobby Portis trolled former teammate Pat Connaughton for his viral first pitch for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2019, which sailed a few feet above its intended target.
"I threw one out a couple years ago after we won a championship," Portis said. "I would give myself an eight... Shout-out Pat Connaughton too, man, I saw the PC [pitch]. I don't want that to happen to me."
