Great couple days of FA for the Bucks and for MU. Surprised the Badgers players haven't been able to take advantage of the salary cap boom  ;D

Monroe is a great get for the Bucks, but by no means a perfect fit (B. Lopez would have been, as weird as it'd be to cheer), since there are significant spacing issues on this team. They badly need Giannis and Parker to be able to knock down midranges to be able to maximize Monroe's passing and keep teams from clogging the lane. Another playmaker hopefully allows MCW to become a better facilitator become a more efficient shooter (with less of them). However, my bets are on Greivis being part of the lineup that will be most productive by YE. Either way, will be exciting to watch.

Well, given CA's top income tax bracket, if he was looking at 17-18 a year, he would have lost over $2MM a year, which settles him into parity in Dallas, a much better basketball situation.

  Didn't want to pay for those pensions, ay ?
