#3 Milwaukee Bucks - Ersan Ilyasova
Since Milwaukee traded him in the summer of 2015, Ersan Ilyasova went through a lot in the NBA. In the past three years, Ilyasova played for Detroit, Orlando, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Philadelphia again.
After playing 225 games for five different teams in that span, he will return to the team for which he started his NBA career and played twice as many games.

Even though he ended the season as a solid backup forward for the Sixers, it's worthy to note he only joined them for a minimum salary, after getting a buyout from the Hawks. Hard to believe Philly would have offered him much more.
Ilyasova fills a hole in the Bucks' roster, created by the decision to let Jabari Parker go. He adds the bench shooting they missed last year.
But a three-year/$21M contract, $14M guaranteed, for a 31-year-old who's playing for his sixth team in four years is excessive and will hurt them in next year's free agent market.
