Good pick up for a team that desperately needs more veteran leadership.

Guess he must have hated playing with the Bucks. He turned down a 4.5 mill player option.

He wasn't getting any minutes. Zero through the playoffs. Probably just looking to get on the court again.

True. Hes good enough to be getting backup C minutes in this league. Not sure why the Bucks didn't use him more as Brooks backup in the playoffs.

Definitely still good enough to be a strong backup C option

He's a 12-14 minutes a night guy playing at backup center, the easiest and cheapest position to fill along with PG. On what planet do you give that guy the MLE
