When Milwaukee signed Miles Plumlee to a 4-year/$50 million dollar contract this summer, many raised their eyebrows not at a re-signing, but at the pricey figure they had to pay. As Plumlee’s remained either chained to the bench or as noticeable as a gnat while on court, the combination of years and heavy cap hit was putting a strain on Milwaukee’s salary cap going forward. With Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 4-year/$100 million dollar contract set to kick in next summer, retaining the high priced services of Plumlee and Henson meant the Bucks were effectively capped out with little wiggle room.
