He's gonna keep collecting his cheques until he is a free agent in 2015.
He is otherwise trade bait. He might be worth Caron Butler (expiring), Luke Ridnour (expiring), Gary Neal (3.2 million expiring after next season) and John Henson (good young big man). Henson should be starting but since Milwaukee has big money invested in Larry Sanders, Ersan Illyasova and Zaza Pachulia...it seems he might an odd-man out.
There is no way the Bucks give up Henson for Rudy.... they are TANKING
You don't throw money at guys OJ Mayo and Zaza Pachulia if you are tanking. If there truly is a desire to build through the draft...you don't bring in Zaza to compete for minutes with Henson. They are competing...but failing...but they aren't tanking.
Regardless of their offseason intentions, right now they are tanking.
