With the draft in the rearview mirror, the attention of the NBA now shifts toward free agency. For the Milwaukee Bucks, that means a crucial two weeks lie ahead.
With Khris Middleton, Malcolm Brogdon and Brook Lopez headlining the Bucks’ potential outgoing free agents, the future of a Milwaukee team that vaulted into contention last season will hinge on the team’s ability to retain 60 percent of its starting lineup over the course of the next couple of weeks.
The Tony Snell salary dump, which was made official after Thursday’s draft, certainly eases some of those concerns as the Bucks now boast increased financial flexibility.
