On Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks officially announced that Oshkosh would be home to the Bucks’ D-League team. Greg Pierce, who spearheaded the city’s push, had known Oshkosh had won out for a few months already, but couldn’t tell anyone quite yet.
“We had began discussing details about finalizing the deal, this goes back to October, November,” Pierce said. “In terms of forming a business relationship, you know, you just have a lot of back-and-forth negotiations. You had, in this case, the league to deal with, because it was an expansion team you have to follow the process.
