Bucks News, Transactions, Trade Ideas - Sign Pete Nance to 2-way

Midds is most likely to opt in and secure his 34 mil. It wouldn’t be shocking news though if he opts out to sign with his beloved Bucks a 4/60 with the full MLE.

He wouldn’t be leaving that much on the table. I mean does he get much more than a 3/24 at 35 y/o after a full season in NBA’s Siberia? Family matters too.

I don’t know if Bucks should be interested though. On the one hand what’s not to like in a Middleton’s 6th role at 20ish minutes? On the other hand Bucks should focus on becoming even more faster.

Tough call.

The Middleton era here is over. He can sign a one day contract when he retires.

I have a hard time believing khris will be playing after his option next year much less in 4 years.

Wizards call up AJ Johnson who scored 25 and 16 in last two gms in G league if he turns out to be great I am going to be pissed!

Just getting started, if they want to win.

Imagine if we could have gotten Siakam for Khris and whatever back when Khris had positive value.

Gut punch...

Anyone been seeing those random "SIKMA" hats at the games? Where are those coming from?

People trying to send a message to Giannis you can still shoot ft's if you're a 7-footer for the Bucks.

At the end of his deal next year, Midds will have made $290 million in aggregate salary. Won a ring and ended up all over the Bucks leaderboards. Hell of a career, but yes, he knows he’s essentially done.

Not being part of the playoffs and going into the offseason healthy will be just what he needs. I'm guessing he plays 4 more years. Winning player, and some teams want those.

Most wildly out of touch comment I've ever seen on this board and that's really saying something

I think he's done but if 37 year old Ingles can find a roster spot I bet midds could if he actually wanted that role. he was extremely efficient when on the court and I could see teams seeing him as a solid vet. he had a 63% TS with the Bucks this year in limited action

This part does bother me, given the hint of what the father was saying before Pat responded.

Only one more game left for Rollins. Wonder if he's going to get the last active roster spot or not.

It's fair. Robbins didn't show enough. Might have been due to temporary injuries. But we didn't have time for that. You figure they fill his spot w/ a big that's a live body until the end of the regular season.

I trust this doesn't mean they're not converting Rollins, cuz the timing's coincidental. Hopefully they convert Rollins & then replace his 2-way spot as well. If they desire one of these dicey buyout candidates, waive Livingston instead.

the bucks had a really cool STH event last night at jabaris pad on the Northside. rollins was there a long with Dave Dean. Dean got an awkward question on if we were hoping to find someone in the buyout market

I think Rollins has shown enough to get the spot.

I hope whoever we sign is better than the NBL dude we signed late last year. He couldn't even hang in the G League.

I personally wish Liam had gotten some real run. I guess with Sims he becomes redundant. Good luck to the guy.
