Amidst the upcoming 2015 NBA draft (we have loads of mocks), the sooner-than-you-think Summer League (July 4-10 in Orlando, 10-20 in Las Vegas), and the rampant free agent possibilities this summer there’s an overarching megaton of an issue for the Milwaukee Bucks that is still very much in a precarious position–the proposed new arena deal that would keep the team in Milwaukee for the next 30 years.
News regarding the arena funding plan has been slight following Scott Walker’s “Cheaper to Keep Them” proposal on June 4th. Unfortunately, much of the news that we do have has tilted negatively–starting with the forthcoming announcement of the Wisconsin state budget which is expected to be finalized by the end of June.
