Day 2 of NBA free agency may not have been as action-packed as opening night, but there was still no shortage of big NBA news throughout the day. The Milwaukee Bucks were once again heavily involved in the day’s festivities as they locked up starting center Brook Lopez to a two-year, $48 million deal. Moreover, although not as significant as the Lopez signing (or the Khris Middleton extension from Friday), Milwaukee also retained the services of Jae Crowder for another year. While overall it has been a highly successful past couple of days for the Bucks, they did also miss…

The Milwaukee Bucks have done it. After allowing a bit of doubt to creep into the minds of supporters over the future of Brook Lopez with the franchise, the Bucks finally struck a deal with the former All-Star to retain his services. This comes out to a two-year deal worth $48 million. That’s a whole lot of money for a player who will be turning 36 this coming season, which is probably why it took some time before the two parties arrived at an amenable number. One major factor that further complicated talks is the Houston Rockets emerging as a…
It has been a couple of years since the Milwaukee Bucks and the Phoenix Suns produced a truly memorable NBA Finals series. There’s no denying that it was more unforgettable for Bucks fans as they watched their squad lift the championship trophy for the first time in half a century. Phoenix Suns supporters remember that series well too, but only for all the wrong reasons. They have a much different roster right now, though, and the recent arrival of Bradley Beal to the squad just formed arguably the most frightening Big 3 in the NBA today with Devin Booker and…
The Milwaukee Bucks took a massive step towards fortifying their roster for the season ahead. They wasted little time securing the services of Khris Middleton to a new deal that will see him stay in Milwaukee through 2026. This development was definitely a huge relief for Bucks fans who were fearing the possibility of Middleton’s potential exit. Milwaukee supporters, however, are still on edge when it comes to their other big-name free agent in Brook Lopez. The 35-year-old has yet to agree a new deal with the Bucks as he headlines a dwindling list of big-time free agents that are…
In case you didn’t know, Tyrese Haliburton is a native of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Also, the 23-year-old made his hometown extremely proud after he got the bag from the Indiana Pacers as part of the NBA frenzy on Friday night. Haliburton agreed to a mind-blowing $260 million max extension that will keep him in Indiana through 2030. The Pacers are one of the Milwaukee Bucks’ rivals in the Eastern Conference, and they have now shown a clear indication of their intention to move forward with Haliburton as their cornerstone star for the years to come. At this point, Indiana isn’t exactly…
We have yet to see Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James battle it out on the grandest stage. The Los Angeles Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks went all the way to the NBA Finals — and won — on back-to-back years, but unfortunately, the basketball gods have not blessed us with a LeBron vs. Giannis Finals. Could 2024 be the year? I say, why not? Both the Bucks and the Lakers came up short this past season, with Milwaukee, in particular, suffering a highly-disappointing first-round exit in the East. The Lakers, on the other hand, went beyond most people’s expectations by…
The first wave of NBA free agency has come and passed. It was an action-packed first few hours, which also saw the Milwaukee Bucks lock up Khris Middleton to a three-year extension worth $102 million. It was a massive development for the Bucks, no doubt, and one that will have a significant impact on their outlook for the upcoming season. Amid all the craziness of free agency’s opening night, the noise surrounding James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers has died down a bit. The Bucks have been linked to a potential swoop on the former league MVP, and while it…
The first order of business for the Milwaukee Bucks in NBA Free Agency is done. This is after they secured Khris Middleton to a massive $102 million, three-year extension. They can now turn their attention to another pressing matter — one that, according to NBA rumors, might not be as straightforward as their highly-successful negotiations with Middleton. Brook Lopez is the next big name to watch for Milwaukee. The 35-year-old is now officially a free agent and the fact that he hasn’t agreed to a contract with the Bucks could be a cause for concern — especially once you learn…
To say that NBA free agency opened with a bang would be a complete understatement at this point. The Milwaukee Bucks played their part in the whirlwind of activity that went down as soon as NBA free agency officially opened at 7 p.m. ET. This came in the form of a highly-anticipated extension for Khris Middleton. The former All-Star agreed to a three-year deal with Milwaukee worth a whopping $102 million. As it turns out, Middleton’s huge payday just accounted for 10% of the total money spent in the first hour alone. Yes, you read that right. The league did…
The Milwaukee Bucks have a multitude of free agents that could potentially jump ship in the coming hours/days. The two big names are Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez, who according to NBA rumors, are primed to renew their respective deals with the team. However, nothing is official as of yet, which means that Milwaukee is still in danger of losing two of their most important players once NBA free agency officially opens on Friday. While Middleton and Lopez have garnered much of the attention — and rightfully so — there are a handful of other names to watch as potential…
