Bucks Named Top Landing Spot for All-Star Guard in Major Free Agent Move

The Milwaukee Bucks have made some of the most significant moves thus far in free agency. While their moves may not be ones that elevate them to contender status, they could be significant steps that could propel them into the Eastern Conference.

Only time will tell, but the Bucks could be far from done in terms of making moves to bolster their roster. The Bucks still need a point guard to add to their roster, and according to Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report, that point guard is future Hall of Famer and 12-time All-Star Chris Paul.

"The Milwaukee Bucks are in dire need of a point guard, with Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins currently set to battle for the starting job despite neither being true floor generals.

The Bucks need a point guard, and Paul could fill that bill as well as provide the veteran leadership they lost with the departure of Brook Lopez.
