Milwaukee Bucks: Did They Make A Mistake Trading Brandon Knight?

Sitting in a 3-0 hole, the Milwaukee Bucks are probably going home in the next few days. As the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, expectations for Jason Kidd‘s young team weren’t particularly high for this season. After all, it was only one year ago that the Bucks owned the league’s worst record.

But against a Chicago Bulls team facing some question marks about how effective Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler would be coming back from injury, some thought the Bucks stood a chance. Others even predicted Milwaukee to pull off the first round upset.

Three games into the first round, it feels like we could be looking at a four-game sweep. All this is a long-winded way of saying if there were ever a time this season to question the Brandon Knight trade, it’s now.

Ever since Milwaukee traded away their best player at the trade deadline, the Bucks haven’t been the same team. The focus should be on the future, but it’s worth taking a look at Milwaukee since the All-Star break to get a better idea of where this team is heading…and whether they made a big mistake.
