Bucks GM Jon Horst made his big splash in free agency yesterday, signing Myles Turner and waiving Damian Lillard, but he is continuing to alter his roster. Per Michael Scotto, the team is waiving Chris Livingston.
Livingston had a non-guaranteed contract worth $2.2m, but the salary would have become guaranteed on July 15 had he remained on the roster. Waiving Livingston will save the Bucks a little money when they don’t have to pay him guaranteed money later this month, but more importantly, it opens a roster spot. Without Livingston, the Bucks roster stands at 13, and there are now two available spaces to sign free agents to minimum contracts.
