#3 Carmelo Anthony
Carmelo Anthony's future is certainly going to be intriguing this summer. The Portland Trail Blazers veteran showed how valuable he could be to teams competing in the playoffs and want a cut-price knockdown shooter.
Anthony averaged 13.4 points and shot at over 40% from the three as a sixth man this season. He is set to hit free agency and will undoubtedly want to join a title-contending team, given that he has a few years left in the league.
The Bucks have many decisions to make about their options in the frontcourt, where Anthony could provide flexibility, having played as both a small and a power forward. He is a savvy veteran who knows how to create shots for himself and could be the player to lead the Bucks' second unit next year.
#2 TJ McConnell
As the Milwaukee Bucks have very little to work with this summer, signing value-for-money players is key. In that regard, there aren't many that epitomize value better than TJ McConnell. The 29-year-old point guard is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Although the Indiana Pacers have bird rights on him and would like to bring him back, he could look to join a win-now franchise.
McConnell could expect a pay rise in the off-season, which would fit well with the Bucks' taxpayer MLE. While he could receive higher offers elsewhere, the Milwaukee Bucks could once again be a favorite for the title next year if they manage to land him.
The Bucks could certainly do with some backcourt depth, as it is unlikely they will bring back Bryn Forbes. McConnell is efficient off the bench. He shot at 56% from the field, averaged 8.6 points, 6.6 assists and 1.9 steals during the regular season and also grabbed ten steals in a game earlier in the campaign.
#1 Jeff Green
One free agent whose name is gaining a lot of traction in connection with the Milwaukee Bucks is Jeff Green. Of course, a move for the veteran forward depends on Bobby Portis' future. However, the Bucks got a close-up look of what Green could do on the biggest stage.
In their semi-final series against the Brooklyn Nets, Green averaged ten points a game across the four games he played in, producing a 27-point showing in game four. The 34-year-old drilled seven threes and shot at 8-11 from the field, finishing with a +/- of 12 in that series.
Should Portis leave, Green would be a more than adequate replacement. He had a very consistent campaign, averaging 11 points per game and shooting at 49% from the field and 41% from downtown. He brings veteran experience and could be utilized as a starter or a backup option in the frontcourt.
Guess the Lakers players!
