The Milwaukee Bucks have been looking for methods to chop wage. Such a transfer would get Milwaukee beneath the second apron. That might unencumber their skill to combination participant salaries in a commerce. That commerce plan appears centered on including a high-salary veteran to the roster.
The Bucks have been linked to Bradley Beal, as part of a attainable multi-team deal that lands Jimmy Butler with the Phoenix Suns. The Bucks may even have curiosity in Zach LaVine of the Chicago Bulls.
Milwaukee is roughly $6.5 million over the second apron. A well-liked suggestion for getting beneath that line, and out of its burdensome restrictions, is to maneuver Pat Connaughton’s $9.4 million wage to a group with cap area (Detroit Pistons) or a sufficiently big exception (a number of groups). Groups can now use their signing exceptions as commerce exceptions in offers. Connaughton’s deal would match for a group that also has their Non-Taxpayer MLE remaining.
