While people across America scramble around looking for Black Friday bargains, the Milwaukee Bucks are lucky enough to have secured their own value deal early.
When it was announced that Gerald Green had been waived on the eve of the season, following every other training camp invitee having previously been cut by the Bucks, it certainly raised a few eyebrows.
As it turned out, though, the Bucks had a plan of their own in place. After a summer spent hopping around the NBA, DeAndre Liggins had just been waived by the Miami Heat when the Bucks offered him a non-guaranteed, veteran minimum contract that came late enough for it to seem a safe bet he’d at least make it into the season in Milwaukee.
