The chances of Brook Lopez returning to the Milwaukee Bucks for the 2019-20 season, and beyond, were significantly improved when the trade to dump Tony Snell‘s salary was finalized with the Detroit Pistons following Thursday’s NBA Draft.
The Bucks moved beyond simply having to consider offering the mid-level to Lopez, and can now not only offer approximately $10 million via cap space, but even exceed that number by stretching Jon Leuer and further boosting flexibility, if needed.
In spite of all of that, the Bucks will still have to fight their corner to bring Lopez back.
