We were expecting a busy week for the Milwaukee Bucks. But no one was expecting this.
When many of us went to bed on Monday evening, the Bucks seemed to be still reeling from the news that Wes Matthews was opting to test the waters of free agency, followed shortly after by Robin Lopez following suit. Did it say something about the team, that two respected veterans would cut bait after only a single season? Their decisions meant the front office had a bit more wiggle room when it came to free agency, but the issues of the franchise’s salary structure and bare cupboard of assets were very real concerns.
