Two Thursdays ago, hours before the NBA’s trade deadline, the Bucks shrunk to thirteen players (not including two-way players Sandro Mamukelashvili and A.J. Green) on deadline day after the 3-for-1 Jae Crowder deal. CBA rules stipulate that teams must carry a minimum of fourteen players on standard contracts (not including two-way deals), but may dip below that number for up to two weeks. That means that GM Jon Horst is required to add a player to his roster by this Thursday. There’s been plenty of speculation about which players, among those previously bought out—some of whom have since signed—would be good fits on the roster.
