Players mostly look for 3 things. Money is obviously first - the other issues are generally only relevant if the moneys sort of close. The others are location (market size, weather, where you grew up) and franchise competence. Milwaulkee's low on both.
Smaller, colder markets with no grand history will always be at a disadvantage in my opinion. It would be a different story if the bucks had a storied history of championships or something but they don't. Its also cold there. Real cold.
They have had some great players like Alcindor, Moncrief and Monta

, but that's about it. Lucky they have a very loyal fan base.
