He was one of the most talked about Euroleague FAs, he was so ready to go back to Europe, and then at the last second they pick his option just so they would be able to make a trade. I guess Micic could still be bought out, but why would they trade 2 seconds for a bought out guy?
I do believe Micic could be decent bench player in the NBA still.


He maybe has an agreement to bought out for cheap since he intends to sign in europe anyways. Maybe a way for the Bucks to clear salary and Micic to get a couple of millions of free cash


I see Pat makes 9.4 million, was it worth 2 second rounders to get rid of 9.4 Mil? I wonder what MIL is cooking, but they seem very desperate, I just do not like this team going all in, they are just not good enough.


Confused AF!

Pat makes 9.4 while Micic gets 8.1 so its a savings of $1.3 for 2 SRPs?

WTF?

Not Yo Ham Lakers!

I am truly laughing at anyone who thinks Micic is good or can play valuable NBA minutes.

He was absolutely horrible. I get that none of you watch the Hornets but come on. Embarrassing

It's funny money dude. His team option was picked up likely as an agreement to be bought out for a small fee.

He was never going to have his option picked up otherwise

Ya and we saw that one guy give up like 6.6M to get back to Europe.

Micic might be willing to leave like 6M on the table for a buyout.

Yep. MIL basically paid 2 SRP to open 6-7M in cap room.
