Milwaukee Bucks: “Twelve Days of Bucksmas”

“On the fourth day of Bucksmas, Milwaukee sent to me…four more years of Plumlee, three second rounders, two cornerstones, and a Greek Freak at the 15th.”

The Bucks made multiple great decisions this offseason (see Greek Freak extension), but re-signing Miles Plumlee was definitely questionable. For starters, he was already a restricted free agent and nobody offered him a contract this summer.

With his demand so low, the decision to give Plumlee, who has done nothing to prove nothing worthy of this contract other than a short stretch of games, a four-year, $52-million extension was head-scratching to say the least.

The Bucks have played 29 games so far this season and Plumlee has only played 20 of them, averaging just around 10 minutes per game. For someone making as much money as Plumlord, these are numbers are flat-out unacceptable.

He is clearly the third best center on the roster, and seeing that much money go to waste is just a mishandled situation by the organization at this point. On the plus side, however, he will be here for the next four years so maybe he develops into a strong part of the rotation again at a later date.
