Following the signing of Thanasis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks need to release a player in order to make necessary room for him. Andre Jackson Jr. feels like the obvious candidate, given his non-guaranteed contract, but if the Bucks do so, they will let him go for nothing. With rumors that the team could have gotten something for him previously, that hurts. It hurts a lot.
Per Clutch Points' Brett Siegel, the Bucks were dangling Jackson in trade talks last season, and they were seeking two second-round picks. They never received an offer greater than one, so they kept their 2023 draft pick.
