The brutal reality of this summer's free agent market is delivering Milwaukee's front office the ultimate vindication. While former Bucks languish unsigned and aging veterans scramble for minimum contracts, the Bucks' aggressive youth movement looks more prescient by the day.
The free agent market proves the Bucks were right to change everything, with lots of former Milwaukee players – Jae Crowder, Cameron Payne, Delon Wright, and others – still searching for teams willing to take a chance on their declining skills.
These aren't just former role players; these were guys Milwaukee prioritized and paid real money to acquire, only to discover they were chasing names rather than production.
