The Biggest Remaining Question Facing the Milwaukee Bucks

When the trade between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Miami Heat became official on July 6, it stamped a new era for the franchise as it would move forward without star Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Heat gave up players such as Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kasparas Jakučionis, as well as the No.13 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, who ended up being Nate Ament from Tennessee, and additional draft picks for the future.

Milwaukee also selected Brayden Burries with the No. 10 pick to cap off its offseason overhaul, and entered free agency looking to still improve the roster.

Outside of resigning guard Gary Trent Jr. to a four-year, $64 million deal which is under investigation by the NBA, the Bucks have remained calm during free agency but are still look to acquire new pieces such as Peyton Watson or Jonathan Kuminga.

While questions about whether they should go after Watson or Kuminga have arose, there's another important question for the Bucks heading into next season.

With the trade, the NBA Draft and free agency, Milwaukee now has an abundance of players on its roster, especially at the guard position.

It sounds like a broken record at this point, but after the Bucks decided to trade for Caris LeVert and resign Trent, there's an overflow of guards with not enough playing time to spare.

Now it leaves Milwaukee with a question: What do you do with all of the guards?

Currently excluding Trent, the Bucks would have seven guards on the roster. Players like LeVert and AJ Green can also play the small forward position, but can both be considered guards in the NBA.

Milwaukee's current roster is nowhere set in stone, but for the most the part, players like Ryan Rollins, Herro, Burries and Jakučionis will be the main focal point at the guard spot.

That leaves LeVert, Green, and Kevin Porter Jr whose roles are up in the air, and I think for the sake depth, the Bucks should move on from at least two players.

As a rebuilding team, developing players should be a high priority, and younger guys like Burries and Jakučionis should see playing time at a high volume. Getting those two experience as quick as possible behind two starters will help their development in the long run.
