The Milwaukee Bucks have held trade talks on unloading John Henson and Mirza Teletovic to improve their cap situation. Teams who have discussed a deal with the Bucks have been seeking a big return for taking on those salaries.
Giannis Antetokounmpo's extension begins this season while Greg Monroe opted into his contract for 17-18.
Milwaukee also has significant outlays on Khris Middleton, Tony Snell and Matthew Dellavedova.

Even Cleveland who are terribly managed let him walk. Now that applies for their entire roster except for Middleton. It's a shame.
There are more teams just like them, also some playoff teams and I'm sure outs not merely the market. Denver finally seems to cut it and it's such a joy to see.

Delly was very valuable to the Cavs, just look at his on off that year and his plus minus was #18 best among PG's. The "let" him walk because to retain him would have cost like 50 million all together in taxes and salary.

I know 100 players that could have succeeded given that role in that run.

Lol If I'm Nets I would eat Henson and Teletovic's contracts if the Bucks give me Jabari Parker who they can then max out at 5 years 148M and make a cornerstone of the team alongside D'angelo. Jabari is 100% is going to ask for the max especially if Embid can the max playing 31 games - they also both have the same agent. Issue is Bucks coerced Giannis to sign a bargain extension of 4 years 100M before he broke out and now in the new cap era is probably the new version of Curry's former contract. There could be locker room tensions if Jabari is paid more than Giannis.

Cavs didn't resign Delly because they were deep in the luxury tax and it would have cost them a ridiculous amount of $$. If it was just $9 mil/year like the Bucks are paying they would have matched his contract in an instant.

That doesn't make him a better player.

I'm just refuting the stupid notion that the Cavs didn't resign Delly because of his play. They let him walk because he would have cost them $25+ million per year.
