No. Unless I missed something the last two spots are open still. Plus two way guys.

So far
Brunson/Deuce/Kolek
Mikal/Clarkson/Pac
OG/Hart
KAT/Yabusele
Mitch/Huk

3 open spots and 3 two way deals available. Depending on what they do with McC and Diawara but, no we are not done just yet.

Enough money for 1 vet mini and one rookie mini under the 2nd apron as I understand it.

My guess is we bring McCullar back and then sign one of Pate, Nanji, or Diawara. Summer league tryouts.

If Connaughton is waived by the Hornets we should pick him up.

What does this mean for Lillard?

League sources say Lillard is elated with this decision, as it puts him in the kind of basketball-first position that few All-Star level players, if any, have experienced in league history. In short, he’ll be able to join the contending team of his choosing, either sometime soon or perhaps next summer, without the financial aspect of the decision playing a significant part...

Not surprisingly, league sources say Lillard received calls from several contending teams very quickly after the news of his Bucks’ ending broke. The question now is whether he wants to sign with a team now and rehabilitate while under their care or wait until next summer to reassess the situation. All in all, it’s a dream scenario for Lillard. Especially considering he might have been heading for a change of scenery even before his injury.

As The Athletic reported in early May, Lillard and the Bucks were likely going to discuss whether he wanted to remain with the Bucks after last season. From the frustrations that came with the on-court fit to the fact that he struggled at times while being away from his children, it was no secret that Lillard wasn’t likely long for Milwaukee. Now, he leaves with a level of freedom not often seen in pro sports. — Sam Amick, senior writer

Yeah, he's been pretty vocal about not liking Milwaukee much.

I hope he makes it back to Portland somehow.

He's not the first player to feel that way.

He should sign here for the vet minny and ring chase next year

We could use another shooter at the 3.

This is a very versatile team.

I also think if we were just going to run it back we would have signed them by now.

I was hoping we would draft this cat in '22, instead they went with fcking Keels (sorry Buzz lol). He was playing well by the end of the season this year. Great percentages for a guard too. 48.7% and 40.8% from distance

good defender too...but I think this is just procedural...I feel like he has a chance to get big minutes for MIL this year.

Any chance Seth Curry would take a league minimum deal?

Not necessarily Seth but, a true backup PG would be a great idea.

We are sort of on win now mode and have a bunch of young dudes after the top 9.

Kolek/Pac/Huk and one of these rookie kids is a lot of projects.

Lmao who did this? With the new cba I thought something like that should be very less frequent.
