Milwaukee Bucks: The ‘Sink or Swim’ frontcourt of the future

After years of owning the future, the Milwaukee Bucks are nearing closer and closer to that time when their assets will need to fully make the transition from potential to production.

The date of this shift became more clear this week, with the news of Greg Monroe and Spencer Hawes each exercising their player options for next season at $17.8 million and $6 million respectively.

This puts the Bucks in a tough spot this summer, likely running close to the luxury tax just to re-sign Tony Snell and not allowing them to make any other significant upgrades in free agency.
