Milwaukee's goal this summer is to find solutions to the problems they had in their first-round playoff series against the Celtics. First, they didn’t get enough production from players not named Middleton or Antetokounmpo. Some of the blame falls on Tony Snell, who arrived in Milwaukee as a "sharpshooter", but managed to shoot only 23.8% from deep in the series.
Second, the Bucks had trouble finding the right starting center, trying out three different players through the series.
John Henson started the first two and got injured, Tyler Zeller replaced him in the starting lineup the next three games but spent most of them on the bench, as Thon Maker played better and eventually took his starter role in the last two encounters.
A dominant big-man like Bismack Biyombo, who has a conference finals series on his resume only at 25, can help robust the teams' frontcourt. He and Snell have offsetting contracts, with about $34 million guaranteed, but Biyombo's stretches through two seasons rather than Snell's three.
This opens up a few millions in Orlando's cap this summer, helping them re-sign Aaron Gordon more easily. Depending on how Milwaukee Bucks will handle Jabari Parker's free agency, they can remain a non-taxpaying team and use the Mid-Level Exception of about $8.5 million to attract free agents and bolster their roster.
