Before you start laughing considering the fact that Milwaukee finished 16 games under .500 this season, take a closer look at the roster that has been put together in the state of Wisconsin and realize the Bucks won’t be a laughing stock for long.

Along with a signed Mike Conley, the Bucks roster would include two of the best young players in the game in Jabari Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Conley would come in and take over the spot from the soon-to-be departing Jared Bayless and could maybe be the player that would help to turn around the play of Michael Carter-Williams.

By getting Jason Kidd to come over from Brooklyn as their coach before last season and actually spending money on players like Greg Monroe in free agency, Conley would get the feeling that the Bucks are actually in it for the long haul and wants to make a run in an Eastern Conference that, quite frankly, is better than the past put still a step below the Western Conference. Conley is that leadership and talent that could throw them over the top.
