Milwaukee Bucks: Looking at Last Year’s Departed Players
By Adam Coffman
Greivis Vasquez
Many Bucks fans, with this author included, likely have a sour view of Greivis Vasquez based on his short tenure in Milwaukee.
Not only did the point guard miss an extended amount of time due to injury, playing in just 23 games, but the Bucks gave up both a first and second round pick for a one year rental of Vasquez’s services.
Coming off such a disappointing year, Vasquez was only able to sign late in free agency with the lowly Brooklyn Nets on a one-year deal meant to give him a chance to prove his worth in a new salary market.
This contractual vulnerability reared its head when Vasquez became injured, leading the Nets in turn to cut him. Vasquez had only played in three games at that point, and yet to show any flash of value towards scoring a new contract.
It’s not unlikely that Vasquez could find a spot with a new team come next season, but two injury-plagued, largely ineffective seasons have forced a large step back for the former Bucks guard.
