Bucks reportedly interested in NBA champion from Eastern Conference rival

6 hours ago 1

The Milwaukee Bucks are still finalizing their roster, with many expecting Thanasis Antetokounmpo to eventually sign with the team. However, even when that happens, the Bucks still have areas they need to fix. On paper, the Bucks seem to be a decent team, but there's always more they could add. 

According to a recent report from Marc J. Spears on SportsCenter, the Bucks are reportedly interested in former Boston Celtics big man and a player who hit many big shots against them, Al Horford. 

"Golden State expected him to sign last week, he didn't. Lakers, Milwaukee, Atlanta, I believe, are also interested in the nearly 40-year-old guy, who always has retirement on the table. He's not in any hurry, he's got a sixth kid coming on the way, he lives in Atlanta and Boston in the offseason,” he stated.

Horford would be an intriguing fit on the Bucks, but it’s tough to see where he fits, mainly because they already have their five position settled with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Myles Turner, and Bobby Portis. 

However, the idea of adding Horford should be enticing, as he’s still one of the better veterans in the NBA.

On the flip side of that, the Bucks have done an excellent job of getting younger during the offseason. 

Horford wouldn't fit the traits that the Bucks look for in other players, but it's essential to note that he's a proven veteran who understands what it takes to win. 

At the end of the day, the Bucks want to win a championship, so bringing in  Horford wouldn’t be a bad idea by any means.
