Bucks plan to bring back Brook Lopez
A number of the Milwaukee roster will hit free agency this summer, and it is unlikely that the Bucks can retain all their stars. Due to this, the Bucks are believed to be prioritizing tying down certain players, and ESPN's Malika Andrews is reporting that Brook Lopez is one of them:
•
The Bucks likely will pay Middleton. After signing Bledsoe to a four-year, $70 million contract in March, retaining Brogdon would come with a hefty price that could send the Bucks into the luxury tax. Milwaukee also will need to choose among Mirotic, Hill and Lopez. It is unlikely that all three will be retained. Re-signing Lopez, league sources said, is a priority.
