What can the Bucks do this offseason?

 

The Milwaukee Bucks have made some changes this offseason. John Hammond is now in Orlando, and Jon Horst has taken his place as general manger in Milwaukee. Also this week, long-time scout Billy McKinney has left the organization.

But from a personnel standpoint, it’s been pretty quiet as far as the players go. Greg Monroe opted in for roughly $18 million to stay with the Bucks. Other than that, it’s been crickets.

Realistically, the Bucks can’t do a whole lot of wheeling-and-dealing, in part, because of the Jabari Parker injury.

Parker suffered a torn ACL for the second time in three years, and that put a wrench into their offseason plans. (Read the whole writeup at the Sporting News)

That was Feb. 8, and Parker’s injury was confirmed the following day. That was just two weeks ahead of the league’s trading deadline, which was significant because league sources told Sporting News the Bucks were considering including Parker in potential trades at the deadline.

“His name definitely came up, and it was obvious they’d have a steep price, but they were willing to talk about him,” one league executive said.
