There are a lot of reasons why the summer of 2017 is important for the Milwaukee Bucks, but the summer has been surprisingly pivotal for a number of teams across the NBA, particularly in the Eastern Conference. To name a few notable events for the Bucks’ contemporaries:
- The Toronto Raptors appear to be keeping the band together, retaining Serge Ibaka and keeping an offer open to Kyle Lowry (while losing some of their important supporting pieces).
- The Indiana Pacers (understandably) traded Paul George for a modest return, moving him out of the conference to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
