A rumor about the Milwaukee Bucks trading for Jimmy Butler has gained a lot of attention this week and it doesn’t seem to be going away. The team’s interest in Butler seems very real and they are willing to give up one of their biggest stars to trade for him.
The Milwaukee Bucks could be adding a nice scoring threat next to Giannis Antetokounmpo. Kevin O'Connor of Yahoo! Sports can see the Bucks getting into the mix as a third team that sees Jimmy Butler heading to the Phoenix Suns.

Book has had everything handed to him since James Jones arrived. Promising new rookies. (Josh Jackson, Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson). All-time great veterans (Chris Paul, Durant and Beal). New coaches (Monty Williams, Frank Vogel and Mike Budenholzer). The franchise has even upgraded the locker room and practice facility.
