With free agency excitement set to kick in at midnight for teams and fans around the NBA, the Milwaukee Bucks find themselves in a very difficult spot.
Thanks to Greg Monroe and Spencer Hawes‘ decisions to opt in to the final years of their current deals in Milwaukee, the Bucks are entering free agency already effectively over the salary cap.
Considering the Bucks remain determined to retain restricted free agent Tony Snell, that means in all likelihood the team is going to be facing significant luxury tax pressure in the coming days and months.
