After a week off, the Tuesday Tracker is back! And the trade deadline is a month from today. All recent intel is that Milwaukee is looking to add to their roster as they push to re-enter the playoff picture, now that Giannis is back on the floor. They\u2019re turning away all calls on their superstar, who has not requested a trade and downplayed his desire to leave in his first public statements since coming back.<\/p>\n
One interesting development that we\u2019re asking about is the Bucks\u2019 improvement on the defensive glass over the past several weeks. They remain a very bad offensive rebounding team, but their struggles to corral opponents\u2019 misses have been a highly visible issue this entire season, alongside turnovers. You\u2019ll see their numbers since Giannis\u2019 return\u2014which seemingly stabilized their turnover problems\u2014below, but going back four weeks, Cleaning The Glass ranks the Bucks\u2019 defensive rebound rate seventh-best in the league and their turnover rate 24th. During the chunk of that period without Giannis, they were 29th in turnover rate and sixth in DREB%, so rebounding was improving even without him.<\/p>\n
In this week\u2019s Tuesday Tracker, let us know which way you want the Bucks to go at the deadline, and whether or not you think they\u2019ll make it above the East\u2019s play-in tier. We then have another record question for you, and want to know if you\u2019re worried about AJ Green\u2019s shooting slump.<\/p>\n
As always, this poll will be open until midnight Central on Friday, and we\u2019ll post the results later that day. Thanks for voting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a week off, the Tuesday Tracker is back!
