Milwaukee would need to find a trade that allows them to send out Pat Connaughton without receiving any salary in return.
Los Angeles has long been interested in adding Brown Jr. and almost did in free agency a few seasons ago. His versatility and shooting could give the Lakers a big boost. Plus he is on a $23 million expiring contract, giving Los Angeles some potential financial flexibility after the season.
Antetokounmpo is manipulating the space in the key, Lopez is finding his way to the rim and Lillard isn't letting defenses get set.
Lopez recorded 13 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and five blocks across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 122-93 win over the Magic. The five rejections were Lopez's best performance at the rim since Nov.
Damian Lillard added 25 points for Milwaukee, which completed a 4-0 homestand. Khris Middleton had 13 points and eight assists in 25 minutes off the bench. Brook Lopez added 12 points, and Taurean Prince had 11.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 30 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds for his 50th career triple-double as the Milwaukee Bucks beat Sacramento 130-115 on Tuesday to snap the Kings’ seven-game win streak.
