That Rich Paul connection. The Livingston guarantee is really paying dividends. Prince is also a client.
I'll amend this is the one thing Horst is good at. He can work w/ less in FA by cultivating relationships & general salesmanship.

Rounds out as good a trio of vet minimums as you'll ever see. Good stuff.

This was a nice upgrade on the Beasley position, and provides Middleton insurance in case Khris is hurt.

The real question is whether he does a dumb little pointless dance after hitting wide open threes

Good use of the vet mins this year. Nice to have another SG going into the season. Maybe starts right away but hope a young guy beats him out at some point.

In free agency the Bucks have 3 additions that are I think clear upgrades over the players they replaced, Trent > Beasley, Prince > Crowder and Wright > Beverly. With essentially no tools to work with, this is about as good as you could've realistically hoped for with regards to FA acquisitions.

First time this summer that I feel good about our roster going into next season. Still not sure if Doc can build a top-ten defense, but we've upgraded those bench positions nicely.
Now we just need Livingston to hit.

We got early career Jon Horst back and I'm loving it. Nabbing Wright, Prince, and now Trent on vet mins is incredible work. I'm as high on the Bucks as I have been in a long time

looks like they're done making moves unless they unload patty c to get below apron. doubt that happens because I thought theyd do that just to get the TPMLE and use on trent jr. for a team with almost zero path to acquiring anyone outside of draft picks and minimums, this was a solid free agency class given the resources they had.
if they stay this way, and stay above the 2nd apron, what does that mean for next year? cap is going to go up, but they lose brooks slot, will they have any type of room outside of Mid-levels to go for anyone?

I don't think he's quite as good as some are thinking but we have such a hole at SG and zero avenues to add anyone better that this is a home run. He just needs to man up and play high effort defense. I think he's capable of it in theory.

Using the Vet min we just upgraded our back up 1 or back up 3 and our starting 2.
Thats pretty insane work
