It’s been a long, winding road to get here, but it’s finally time to put a capper on our worst Milwaukee Bucks contract of the last decade exercise. And it finished, as many expected, with Miles Plumlee taking home the dubious honor. Rather than prolong the suffering with a lengthy discussion of what led Plumlee to Milwaukee (the MCW trade), we’ll dive right into the lead-up to this outsized contract.
It was the Salad Days of Summer 2016, and GM Johnny Hammond had just doled out deals for Mirza Teletovic and Matthew Dellavedova, firming up his bench with a 3-point stretch big and an off-ball point guard.
