And one? It would appear that Greg Monroe’s foul-corralling verbal antics aren’t done quite yet in Milwaukee according to a report from Shams Charania. Monroe reportedly will opt-in to his player option for $17.88 million next season.
Monroe’s potential opt-out date was previously reported to be tomorrow, draft day, so it was inevitable we'd have a conclusion to this either today or tomorrow. The decision gives us a clearer perception of what this roster will look like next season, and may color what sort of player the Bucks opt to draft tomorrow. Perhaps the organization has known about Monroe’s intentions for some time, but newly minted GM Jon Horst stated earlier this week during his press conference that they're taking a wait-and-see approach based on Monroe’s impending decision.
