One of the best random FA pickups who turned himself into a franchise legend and core championship piece. Was definitely time to move on but will always have love the for the dude, hope he’s back with the org in some capacity when he retires.

One of the best FA signings in Bucks history. Bud reinvigorated his career when we brought him in on that 1 year BAE deal. Turned him from a dude that everyone thought was cooked and could never play defense to a 3&D center and legit candidate for DPOY. We wouldn't have won the title without him.

Wishing him the best in going going back back to Cali Cali.

I’m gonna miss him. It was definitely time but man. There was a part of me hoping he may make a team first move and move to our bench. One of the most likable Bucks ever. Easily.

Easy guy to like, on and off the court, for many years here. Had a 2nd career Father Time is undefeated. He was still doing well, for his age. Going to miss him now, off the court, at least.

Wouldn't be mad if they retired his #. There's definitely a case for it.

It's unfortunate that our last two postseasons we played literally the worst match up for him in the league and he gets way too much hate for that. We 100% don't win a championship without Brook.

Brook Lopez is an absolute Bucks legend. The greatest Free Agent signing in Bucks history. He was a huge part of the Bucks Championship run and #11 should go into the rafters.

It was time to move on but I will always love Brook Lopez

Part of a core of dudes that were just the easiest to cheer for. The character of that '21 squad was pretty unimpeachable, and Brook was a serious vibes guy and also defensive anchor. Appreciative of his career here, and glad he continues to get way too much money for a plodder in this day and age, especially at the expense of another franchise. He should probably retire a Net, but I'd love it if he were a 1-day Buck when he finally hangs them up.

Love you Brook! One of the all time great Bucks. Will never forget how he slammed on ATL after Giannis went down. Thanks for holding so steady for us!
