The trade season has only 2 visions in the NBA, either a rebuild or a team strengthening their squad to lift the championship. The Milwaukee Bucks fall into the second category. With superb form in the regular season yet again in the previous season, the Bucks goofed it up in the playoffs. Signing guards Bogdan Bogdanovic and Jrue Holiday made perfect sense for them. 

Former NBA center Kendrick Perkins believes that the Milwaukee Bucks starting 5 is the best for the upcoming season. With attack from Middletown and Giannis, they have made strong defending acquisitions by signing Holiday.  

Milwaukee Bucks have the best starting 5: Kendrick Perkins 

Former NBA center Kendrick Perkins has labelled the Bucks as the favorites to lift the 2020-21 Larry O’Brien trophy. Analyzing their team on First Take, he declared, 

“Right now, the Bucks are winning. To get Jrue Holiday was a huge win for them. You talk about a guy that’s a 2-way player; one of the best in the game today. He could get you 20-25 points on one end and lock you up on the other end. Bogdanovic is a walking bucket who can score anywhere in the country.” 

“I am looking at this starting 5, where Khris Middleton is the third option. Jrue Holiday is the second option who can close out games for you with Giannis being the focal point. And you have Brook Lopez anchoring this defense. If the season started today, this is the best starting 5 in the NBA and there’s no debate.” 

Even though Perkin’s analysis seems genuine, one can feel that he was calling out the Lakers’ front office. After all, we know him to be partial towards LeBron James. Time and time again, he has anointed King James the much-debated ‘GOAT’ status. The Lakers are fresh-off their championship-winning season.
