They should be trading any veterans with a shred of value &#8211; most notably Myles Turner and Tyler Herro &#8211; for whatever draft capital they can get. They haven\u2019t. They set themselves up for a disappointing offseason by waiting too long to trade Antetokounmpo, and sure enough, that\u2019s how things played out,\u201c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nba\/news\/nba-offseason-grades-for-every-east-team-2026-76ers-celtics\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Quinn wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Still, the Bucks weren\u2019t given the worst grade in the conference, with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets receiving D+ and D grades, respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Milwaukee might have dodged the basement of Quinn\u2019s Eastern Conference grades by taking the Heat\u2019s offer for Giannis instead of the Boston Celtics\u2019, which was highlighted by Jaylen Brown (who was ultimately dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers). While the Heat package didn\u2019t bring the Bucks back an All-NBA talent, it did give them multiple assets\u2014players and picks\u2014that they can work with down the line, whether they keep them on the roster or flip them for future assets. On top of that, they selected Brayden Burries with their number 10 overall pick, whose impressive play in the Las Vegas Summer League already has him looking like a draft steal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">One thing that might make Quinn retroactively change his grade would be if the Bucks got Peyton Watson. Of course, there is a real possibility that, in order to acquire Watson, the Bucks might need to give up Ryan Rollins.
