Milwaukee offseason

Use Bird rights and give 8% rises to keep their FAs and dip a little in the tax

- Middleton 4y/100mil (starting at 22 mil)
- Bledsoe 3y/60mil (starting at 18.5 mil)
- Mirotic 4y/72mil (starting at 16 mil)
- Brogdon 4y/60mil (starting at 13 mil)

- keep Lopez with the MLE

trade Snell, Ilyasova, Wilson, DiVincenzo, Brown, 2019 FRP for Beal

Bledsoe/Duval
Beal/Brogdon
Middleton/Connaughton
Giannis/Wood
Lopez/Mirotic

Bucks upgrade their starting 5 with Beal and will have Brogdon and Mirotic coming from the bench with big minutes.

I don't think Beal is in the future for the Bucks at all. WAS has shown no interest in trading him. I think the Bucks are in for one interesting off season if this experiment goes awry. They could easily go from hero to zero if certain guys don't re-sign.

@ jorgawood Agreed! I think The Bucks should start with Middleton, Then worry about the rest. (Bledsoe, Brogdan, Lopez)

I think the plan will be Middleton, Brogdon, Mirotic getting priority. Bledsoe, Lopez they will keep if they can stay around the 135-140 total salary. (Mirotic, Middleton, Lopez could wreak havoc in the playoffs if they're hot, then add Giannis)

@ jorgawood, I would move Middleton back to SG, Start Mirotic at PF and Giannis at SF. So, Lopez @C Mirotic @PF, Giannis @SF, Middleton @SG, and Bledsoe @PG. Let Brogdan run the 2nd Unit.

Thoughts?

I like their flexibility to play big:
Lopez
Mirotic
Giannis
Middleton
Brogdon

Or small

Mirotic
Giannis
Middleton
Brogdan
Bledsoe

Even their small is athletic and big. The Bucks are going to be handful for any team in the NBA. Philly too. Harris was exactly what they needed. Markief Morris to HOU changes the western landscape. Be good in Utah too.
