Milwaukee Bucks: 5 free agents to target with midlevel exception
Milwaukee Bucks: 5 free agents to target with midlevel exception – Wesley Matthews
We round out this out with easily the Bucks’ biggest free agent, that being Wesley Matthews.
Matthews did quick work in declining his player option for next season earlier in the week and the market has steadily grown since then with teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat linked to the 34-year-old veteran.
With the Bucks having to fill out their roster, especially after some pretty big moves to increase their talent at the top, finding the supporting players that can play off of the team’s cornerstones is the big task at hand here on out this offseason.
All Bucks fans are well aware of the floor spacing, toughness and defensive abilities Matthews possesses and how they completed the Bucks’ starting lineup last season. Matthews’ starting role role may be in jeopardy, depending on what happens with the Bogdanovic situation, and that has been key throughout Matthews’ 11-year NBA career.
The Bucks have a number of different exceptions available to them to re-sign Matthews if they so choose. He will certainly have a number of suitors chasing after him, more than what has already been reported, and it will be up to the Bucks as to whether they want his homecoming to continue for at least another season.
