The Milwaukee Bucks are an American professional basketball team based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The Bucks compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league’s Eastern Conference Central Division. The team was founded in 1968 as an expansion team, and play at Fiserv Forum. Former U.S. Senator Herb Kohl was the long-time owner of the team, but on April 16, 2014, a group led by billionaire hedge fund managers Wes Edens and Marc Lasry agreed to purchase a majority interest in the team from Kohl, a sale which was approved by the owners of the NBA and its Board of Governors one month later on May 16. The team is managed by Jon Horst, the team’s former director of basketball operations, who took over for John Hammond in May 2017.

In this season, the Bucks have won seven straight games, all but one by at least eight points. With Giannis Antetokounmpo improving on his MVP numbers and on pace to post the second-highest player efficiency rating of all time (Doncic is sitting in the number 1 spot, which is an outrageous delicacy to file away for his Hall of Fame orientation), it is just that fact that they were needed to give the Bucks their due.
In this present year, they have done some quite a good number of player transactions, such as Acquired F Nikola Mirotic from New Orleans. They Sent Forward Thon Maker to Detroit and C Jason Smith and four futures second-round draft pick to New Orleans. Detroit sent F Stanley Johnson to New Orleans to complete the three-team trade. In March, they have also signed C Pau Gasol and G Tim Frazier, and this June they signed their new general manager as Jon Horst to a multiyear extension. In July, Bucks also signed Kyle Korver, Dragan Bender, Robin Lopez, Khris Middleton, and Wesley Matthews and recently in August they signed Rayjon Tucker and Jaylen Adams.
