Milwaukee Bucks

Love Brook but playing drop does limit them a bit. Bruce brown was great on the Nuggets so would be interesting to see how that would work in Milwaukee.

Think the defense will improve since it takes a bit to adjust to a new coach and scheme but how good it’ll be end state I’m still unsure on.

Per Woj on Twitter:

“Lillard goes Milwaukee as part of a 3-team deal with Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, a 2029 unprotected MIL 1st, and unprotected MIL swap rights in 2028 and 2030 to Blazers. Phoenix lands Jusuf Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Nassir Little and Keon Johnson.”

Didn't think anyone could replace Katie when she left but it's been an awesome couple of years with Zora. Feels like she really became part of the personality of the team. Excited she is getting a new opportunity and I wish her the best.

The Bucks will sign Kentucky forward Chris Livingston to a four-year deal worth $7.7MM, tweets Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports. The first two years are guaranteed, Livingston’s agents tell Charania, who points out that it will be the largest contract ever given to the final pick in the draft.

Livingston was the subject of some draft-night intrigue, as Rich Paul of Klutch Sports reportedly called several teams and asked them not to select his client. Livingston appeared to have a pre-arranged deal with the Bucks, who held the 58th pick. He canceled several scheduled workouts two weeks before the draft.

Because we need more Bucks content

Seriously though, I'm not sure about the contract details yet but I'm sure he's cheap. We don't need him to be crazy good or even really all that good at all. We just need him to be a big body in the paint on defense when Brook needs a breather and I'm pretty certain he can still do that.
