The Bucks failed to make the playoffs this season for the first time since 2016.
That didn't seem to be the main story in Milwaukee, though, as many were curious about what's in store for Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks' future, after a rocky past couple of years.
With the Bucks' offseason in full swing, they have already begun looking into how they will approach the upcoming NBA Draft, and a report suggests an interesting trend within the franchise.
Bucks' scouting activity around NBA Draft indicates potential trade ahead
ESPN's Jeremy Woo reported, "While the Bucks hold only [the 10th pick] at present, rival teams say Milwaukee has been operating as if it will have multiple selections in this year's draft."

This is a very interesting detail because there would be no other reason for the Bucks to scout and work out additional players, unless they were possibly preparing to move up in the draft, or add first-round pick/s.
Of course, this can be done through smaller trades, but it's hard not to think this could be related to Giannis Antetokounmpo's current situation with the franchise.
The most recent news on Giannis is that the Bucks are willing to hear offers on him, and the expectation is that Milwaukee would get some sort of package of picks in a hypothetical deal.
Time will tell whether the team operating this way will actually lead to anything, but the Bucks are definitely a team to continue monitoring over the next month or so before the draft.
