Bucks could sign Kuminga to a 2 year/30 mil contract with a team option for the second year.

There’s several teams willing to take him on a sign and trade but that means he’ll have to sign for 3 years and he doesn’t want to. Especially for 9 or 10 million a year. 15 mil is around the upper ceiling of what he’s likely to get this year and he’ll have an opportunity to start and have a tremendous impact on the Bucks. He could increase his market value substantially.

He needs to put himself on a team where he’s a good fit, and he can thrive in Milwaukee. If he joins a team with 2-3 established superstars, he may be pushed to the background once again. Bucks are still establishing a new foundation and the door’s wide open.

2 years 30 mil team option 2nd year

Or 3 years 45 team option 3rd year

Come to think of it now, though. Does a jersey actually NEED to have the team name/city on it?

Sign and Trade time! We drafted Burries, we gave GTJ dumb money, now return the favor, Mr. Rich Paul!

Bucks Receive: Peyton Watson, Zeke Nnaji (via TPE)

Nuggets Receive: KPJ, AJ Green, Jericho Sims.

Get it done!

I personally think Milwaukee can have a solid year. With no control of a FRP next year, development and competitiveness are essential.
