The Milwaukee Bucks apparently decided their biggest issue last season was their coach.
Mike Budenholzer's departure in favor of Adrian Griffin represents the most noticeable change for the Bucks, who saw their front office largely focus on talent retention this offseason.
Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez are back on new multiyear deals, while the likes of Jevon Carter and Joe Ingles were allowed to walk on the open market. Milwaukee used only minimum contracts for talent acquisition, signing Robin Lopez and Malik Beasley to deals.
The result is a top-heavy, aging roster around Giannis Antetkounmpo, who is eligible for an extension but has not yet signed with the Bucks. Antetkounmpo can become a free agent after the 2024-25 season, and his status is worth monitoring as the Bucks choose to run things back with their aging core.
