Shabazz Muhammad has agreed to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks.


Muhammad finished the 17-18 season with the Bucks after he was waived by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

If he drops some weight he could be a great role player, he was doing great for the Bucks in the minutes he was given.

Why would anyone want Shabazz? Waste of a roster spot Milwaukee.

Gonna be interesting to see who makes this roster. They have like 20 people under contract right now.

I guess his offensive stats with the Bucks were actually decent but then he barely played during the playoffs. Previous to thst, he had a 45% TS and was one of the league’s worst defensive players in Minny before they released him.

Can’t pass, can’t defend and no range, I just don’t think he’s very good. His NBA days are numbered imo.

How much will he get? Certainly not $20m per year like he wanted last winter. I guess $2M (instead of $40M/4 years that Wolves offered him). Maybe he did Wolves a favor?

He’s going to regret that decision. I like him.

He did us a HUGE favor. I just don't get it. $40 mil in hand, $20 per and he turns It down just to stay for the min. $1.4 I think.

He has not improved his game one bit. He is ball hog left handed driving gunner with ZERO desire to play D.
I never liked him from the time he was pissed he didn't get the game winner in the NCAA tourney.

I really like how the Bucks are loading up right now. They are going to be a competitive team. Plus once Giannis learns to shoot that 3....he's unstoppable.

Loading up? Pretty sure most Bucks fans will not like Bazz. Selfish player, and me first prima donna.

Can Bud get him to pass and play D?

He's got talent as some kinda sixth man.

Sometimes assist totals have more to do with how a player is used than what they are capable of. The D scares me though.

That's right, just look at Batum with POR, between the four first seasons, especially 3rd and 4th seasons : less than 1.5ast in 30+ min with McMillan.
Then more than 5ast in 34-35 min with Stotts

Cool, good for him. Hopefully he plays well, he can get buckets but cant do much of anything else, when he aint scoring he's useless on the floor. Will be interesting to see how coach Bud uses him and what, if anything, he'll be able to get out of him :dontknow:

Ya, definitely a long shot, but Bud is pretty good at getting guys to pass more.
