When Wesley Matthews decided to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks last summer, the motivations for his decision were clear.
A deal with the Bucks allowed Matthews to finally return home, while also giving him the chance to latch on with a contender and have a real chance of picking up the championship ring that has eluded him to this point in his career.
That move meant that Matthews was also going to have to make notable sacrifices to maximize his contributions. Beyond accepting the lowest value full season contract of his career since his rookie season back in 2009-10, the former Marquette standout was also required to accept a role that would need him to a lot less than the ball than he ever previously has in the NBA.
