Trade & FA 2024-25:

[RGP1981]

I wonder if the Bucks could be convinced to trade A.J. Johnson for Exum or Dinwiddie and a future 2nd. Maybe at the trade deadline?

G: Kyrie/Exum or Dinwiddie/Hardy
G: Klay/Grimes/Johnson
F: Luka/Naji/MelvinMav
F: PJW/Maxi/O-Max
C: Lively/Gafford/Blight

Or perhaps, Hardy + future 2nd instead of Exum/Dinwiddie, if the Bucks can be convinced they need a scoring guard to backup Lillard.

I'm interested in Johnson for the future. He could be groomed as a 3&D SG, who also drives well to the rim, and who might be able to function as the POA defender. He can learn a lot from Klay for this role. Once Klay is retired, Grimes and Johnson might be able to cover the SG position by themselves.
