The Milwaukee Bucks could use some point guard depth after they waived and stretched Damian Lillard’s contract, and they’ve been linked to a potential move with one of the most notable names in the free agent market.
According to ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel, the Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly interested in Russell Westbrook, as the one-time league MVP still has a lot to offer at 36 years old.
“In recent days, another team has suddenly emerged as a possible suitor for Westbrook: the Milwaukee Bucks. The expectation surrounding the Bucks is that they will be utilizing one of their final roster spots to add extra guard depth after bringing back Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins in free agency,” Siegel reported.
“Given Westbrook’s athleticism and speed, he would be an ideal fit next to Giannis Antetokounmpo on a Bucks team that likes to push the pace in transition,” he added.
The Milwaukee Bucks are exploring their guard options in the open market, and besides Russell Westbrook, they are rumored to be interested in bringing back Malcolm Brogdon if the price is right.
“League sources say that the Wizards are open to sign-and-trade discussions to facilitate Brogdon’s exit, and a slew of teams have registered varying levels of interest in the 32-year-old. That list includes the Clippers, Suns, and Lakers as well as the Warriors, Timberwolves, Pelicans, Kings, and Bucks,” Fischer wrote on The Stein Line.
In 2024-25, Brogdon played only 24 regular season games for the Washington Wizards, averaging 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists on 43.3 percent shooting from the field.
