The Milwaukee Bucks are going to be one of the top teams in then Eastern Conference in 2024.  That has been true for the last five years.  However, how can they get back over the hump after suffering three straight early exits from the playoffs?

The Milwaukee Bucks Lose One Of Their Top Shooters

Our very own Robin Adams highlighted the news that Malik Beasley has played his last game with the Bucks:

This is not to say that there would not be a spot for Beasley on the roster if he chose to return. Rather, it is to say that he would not have nearly as prominent a role on offense. Head coach Doc Rivers relegated Beasley to the bench, which would likely be where he would stay if he returned.

NBA insider Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report recently reported, though, that the veteran guard will not return to Milwaukee for the 2024-25 season. “Malik Beasley has played his last game for the Milwaukee Bucks,” he said.

Now, the Bucks will need to find a shooter who can live up to that 41% clip that Beasley shot, as well as finding a versatile defender (or two) for their roster.
