BUCKS MYGM - SEASON 1 - PART 4

The Draft ended and the Bucks had a really good young team. I entered free agency with the only objective of resigning Khris Middleton, whi had a breakout year and probably wanted a big contract. I had like 25 million in cap space so I was determined to pay whatever he asked. We agreed on a 4 year 36 million deal. I also resigned the rookie Johnny O'Bryant, who played well as a backup pick-and-pop big the season before, and I could use as cheap insurance for the upcoming season, in case a big gets injured. Some highlights of the free agency period included Lebron going to Philadelphia (the sixers suddenly are an excellent defensive team with a froncourt of James, Noel and Embiid), Paul Millsap pairing with Demarcus Cousins in Sacramento, Dragic heading to the Lakers and Rondo to Charlotte.

The roster at the end of the season was:

PG: E. Bledsoe / T. Ennis / J.Jack
SG: K. Middleton / M. Hezonja / N. Powell
SF: G. Antetokoumpo / D. McDermott / D. Ingils
PF: J. Parker / E. Ilyasova / J. O'Bryant
C: J. Henson / W. Cauley-Stein / M. Plumlee

My expectations heading into Season 2 were to fight for homecourt advantage in the playoffs. This is a very deep team, with players who fit the identity of the team, an all-star last season in Antetokoumpo and potent scorers and defenders at every position.
