The plan felt simple. After signing Amir Coffey to a training camp deal, the Milwaukee Bucks would waive Andre Jackson Jr., whose salary is not fully guaranteed for next season, to clear a standard roster spot for Coffey.

Following the signing of Thanasis, the Bucks have 16 standard contracts plus Coffey's training camp deal on the payroll.
