The Milwaukee Bucks were a pleasant surprise in the Eastern Conference. A young defensive minded team, under a young coach, is always a great story to hear about. Although they weren’t at full steam, with their star rookie Jabari Parker missing, but they still showed that they can play in a Playoff atmosphere. Now can they attract some stars?
According to Gery Woelfel of the Racine Journal Times:
“If Brooklyn center Brook Lopez opts out of his contract, which is for $16.8 million, one of the teams he may consider, according to some NBA officials, is the Bucks. Lopez has a good relationship with Bucks coach Jason Kidd, who coached him in Brooklyn last season.”
The Milwaukee Bucks just lost their hopeful star center in Larry Sanders to ‘retirement’ and now they might get Brook Lopez. The Milwaukee Bucks would become a very very good team in the East, and a possible contender in the East, but that’s only if they can attract a star player.
