1. Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks have the perfect blend of having more assets than the Los Angeles Lakers while also having a similar potential desire to make a trade as well. If the Bucks really want to trade for Reddish then he will ultimately be packing his bags and heading to Milwaukee instead of Los Angeles or Dallas.

Milwaukee currently has two second-round picks in the 2023 NBA Draft, two second-round picks in 2024 and one second-round pick in both 2025 and 2027. That means that Milwaukee has the surplus to offer multiple second-round picks for Reddish, which is something that the Lakers would be hard-pressed to do.

The Bucks also have plenty of reason to take a flier on someone like Reddish and hope he turns it around. Milwaukee is another team that has gotten the most out of role players in the past and they are in a position where they need it.

The team is always in the running because of Giannis Antetokounmpo but after a hot start, the results have been mildly disappointing for the team. There is not much wing depth to speak of and the Bucks would benefit immensely if a young, fresh face stepped in off the bench.

Milwaukee can piece together the salaries with the back-end rotation players and offer multiple second-round picks for Reddish. With the team not having many other options (like the Los Angeles Lakers), they are more likely to do that than the Mavericks are to trade Bullock.
