Gary Neal close to deal with Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks are on the verge of signing shooting guard Gary Neal, according to sources close to the process.

Sources told ESPN.com that a deal between the Bucks and Neal could be finalized as soon as Saturday after Neal's agent, David Bauman, halted negotiations with the Atlanta Hawks.

The Bucks and Hawks emerged as the top two contenders to sign the sharpshooter after the San Antonio Spurs withdrew their qualifying offer to Neal earlier this month, making him an unrestricted free agent.


If it does happen it'll be a good move for both teams. He'll be the first guard off the bench for the Bucks.

Surprised he's not going to Atlanta though. With Mike B and Ferry there I would of thought it would of been a easy sell for Neal.

Thoughts?

We really didn't need him back we're loaded at guard. He'll get minutes and a somewhat big role with the Bucks and I think that's what was important to him.

But it's 3.5m per season. That's more than what Marco got.

Anyway, I wish him the best.

GL with the Bucks Gary.
Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”

Return to San Antonio Spurs
