So based on the rules, he can not return to Orlando, right?


He's not going to return to Orlando regardless.

He has a real path to rotation minutes in Milwaukee. Their only "point guard" on the entire roster is Kevin Porter Jr. and he's still more of a SG.

But this Giannis situation could cause concerns, too, right? If Giannis demands a trade, how can Milwaukee even be competitive.

However, if Cole needs PT, I think Milwaukee is not a bad choice

He may start if Kevin Porter Jr. is a current starter.

Good for Cole. Hopefully he can find some consistency.

That’s why had to pay so many picks. Cole and KCP in this NBA now are negative assets.

V unlikely I think. Porter Jr was a revelation late last season when he got the start. His to lose.

It's pretty ironic to me that the first video I saw was of Cole and KPJ playing one on one. Cole was cooking in the video, but arguably, KPJ was showing off more of a bag.

All these years later. They might be fighting each other again, for a rotation spot.

*Edit* No shade, I love Cole the person, and wish he wasn't who we had to jettison. We all just knew it to be the case by last year if not before.

Cole gave back $2M on his buyout with Memphis who then stretched waived him.

His minimum with Milwaukee is $2.87M, so he makes a cool $870K extra and got to choose his team.

I thought that when a player signs a ne contract, that the contract defers to the first team, the buy-out team.
I was not aware that a player could ever get "two" salaries. Am I wrong?

I think in the case of a straight cut, I believe that you are you're correct.

When a buyout is coming into play and a player is willingly giving back money he was contractually owed, I think future offsets at that point get voided, but I'm not entirely sure.

You may call Cole whatever but he will win them a game or two almost by himself as he usually does every season.
