    This is absolutely ridiculously stupid. How do you give up on someone after just one year? when you drafted the guy, it was obvious he would be a project and he did pretty good for his rookie year. Then he gets hurt b4 camp this year and you give up on him? Absolute FAIL on Milwaukee's part.

    Even if they think he is a bust why not try and move him?

    Well he's an expiring now, so the idea is that it is much easier. But You draft a guy as a project and then give up on him after one year? That's just ridiculous.

    Well I dunno, a young player usually isn't a throw-in. One more year on a rookie contract isn't a big deal for most teams to take on.

    I think the main priority for ownership in Milwaukee is finding a buyer for the team. They are going to continue the fire sale until the franchise is attractive enough for someone to step in and purchase the Bucks.
