Ranking Bucks free agents from most to least likely to return next season

1. Jae Crowder

It was a whirlwind season for Crowder that began with a holdout and ended with him glued to the bench in the playoffs. In between, there were a lot of IG posts, a trade to the Bucks, and the 6’6 forward still not starting, despite it being the entire reason he held out in the first place. Crowder was left shaking his head about his time in Milwaukee.

Does he want to return? He made $10.1 million last season, and Crowder won’t be eager to take a pay cut to come back after barely playing with the Bucks. He will be hoping to get the full mid-level exception with a key role as as a 3-and-D wing.

The Bucks have a need, but things did not work this season. It could be different under new head coach Adrian Griffin, but Crowder may not be eager to find out.

Jae Crowder is an unrestricted free agent, and he will likely choose a contender on the open market. Which one? It is a storyline to follow this summer as he looks to rebuild his value and prove he can be a key piece on a championship squad.

The Milwaukee Bucks have a ton to figure out this summer, and it will be a key offseason in building a title contender around Giannis Antetokounmpo. What moves can they make? Stay tuned to find out.
