While the Bucks are already one of the best teams in the NBA, this trade could put them on equal footing with the Warriors. A team with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis would be one of the most imposing frontcourts in NBA history — good luck scoring on those two in the fourth quarter. Most importantly, the Bucks hold on to Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, and Malcolm Brogdon, giving them five players that they can throw out to start playoff games for them.

Why would the Pelicans make this move? If Davis has told them he’s not coming back, getting a player like Bledsoe to play alongside Jrue Holiday in the backcourt gives them a fierce defensive backcourt. Ilyasova is a player that is known for making the small contributions that lead to wins, while Wilson is a promising young big. The addition of two first round picks gives them ammunition to continue to add talent in the future, and they can avoid tying up their cap space on two players in Holiday and Davis.

What are the odds of this actually happening? Pretty low. But try it out in 2k and let us know how it works.
