When the Milwaukee Bucks came to Chicago on Wednesday, nobody guessed that Grayson Allen would be among the biggest storylines of the game.
But Allen has a pretty rich history with the Bulls already, so he entered last night’s contest on thin ice with the entire team. And when he was caught in an altercation later in the game, it led to a whole scene that caused one Bulls announcer to go off.
Last night Grayson Allen made the United Center erupt once again after shoving DeMar DeRozan from behind.

In a clip that has since gone viral, Stacey King suggests live on the air that Allen needed a ‘two piece’ so he can stop pushing and shoving players during games.
Stacey King on Grayson Allen: “Somebody need to give him a two-piece. I guarantee he will stop doing that.”

The Bulls did end up winning that came, so I suppose they came out as the winners in this. That doesn’t mean, however, that they were done with Allen.
After the game was over, NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan called out Grayson Allen specifically for his track record of dirty/questionable plays.
DeRozan: “It’s his track record. If it was Boban, I wouldn’t have done nothing.”

We don’t know for sure if Grayson Allen does that stuff intentionally, but he does have a reputation for being that kind of player, and that’s the role he plays for the Bucks right now.
Can The Bucks Win Another Title This Season?
The Bucks were red hot to start the season, but they’ve had some really concerning losses of late. The injury to Khris Middleton is no doubt playing a role in that, but there is a sense that this team needs more depth if they want to win another title.
Funnily enough, Grayson Allen has been rumored to be one of the guys who could be traded to help Milwaukee fulfill some of their needs offensively.
Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that the team was indeed considering trading the forward for Crowder or a bunch of names that include the above-mentioned duo of Ibaka and Hill.
Allen signed a two-year $18 million contract and has been playing well for the unit. He averages 10.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists this season. His $8.5 million this year is one of the closest that comes to matching Crowder’s salary, making him one of the obvious choices to be traded.
Only time will tell what the Bucks are able to do before the deadline, but the whole team will have to stay locked in until something happens.
That includes Allen, who is averaging 10.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game on 44.3% shooting.
