Love the guy and a key piece on our championship team.

A very shrewd signing at the time. Great guy and a champion. All the best

Like Brook, he was a huge part of turning this thing around and instrumental in winning a ring. Legit championship level role player. Bucks legend.

Pat was a great Buck. Huge playoff stones when he was in his prime. One of the few who didn’t whither when the lights got bright.

Pat'll still be around Wisconsin hawking his $4k a month luxury apartments. Best of luck for his bball career.

Great Buck, great guy, great weight lifting partner for Giannis and great businessman. That is Pat Connaughton. Not sad to see him go but wish him the best and thanks for the memories Planet Pat!

Pat was a really fun player here. Great hops. Solid shooting and defense for a bench wing. Good vibes.

But he's been cooked for two years. I'd be surprised if he got rostered somewhere as anything more than an end-of-the-bench player for the veteran's minimum.

Watching Giannis's open-mouthed reaction to Pat showing off his arm by throwing a T-shirt into the upper bowl will always be the Pat highlight for me. Played the right way and kind of sad to see him go.

He's a solid real estate development prospect. Ranked #1 by RE Dev Magazine.

Thanks for the memories Pat. You were on the championship team! Be best.

4K a month in Milwaukee? Those must be some glorious apartments.

I will always have love for Pat. Seems like a good dude off the court, too. He'll be back in some capacity someday.

Pat was a great, great role player for many years, and a great representative for Milwaukee. Another one of Bud and Horst’s phenomenal buy-low signings that transformed this franchise. I really appreciate his friendship with Giannis as well.

I have a feeling we’ll see Pat back in Milwaukee as a commentator or an assistant coach one day.
