Bucks Unlikely To Sign Tony Snell To Extension

Oct 30, 2016 8:15 PM

Tony Snell is unlikely to sign a contract extension with the Milwaukee Bucks before the Nov. 1st deadline and will become a restricted free agent in 2017.

The Bucks acquired Snell in a trade during training camp for Michael Carter-Williams.

Snell was the 20th overall pick in 2013 out of New Mexico by the Chicago Bulls. 

Snell is a career 35.1 percent three-point shooter in the NBA.

Bucks Preparing For Greg Monroe To Opt-In For 17-18

Oct 21, 2016 1:33 PM

The Milwaukee Bucks are preparing for the possibility of Greg Monroe opting into his contract for the 17-18 season.

Monroe signed a three-year, $51.4 million deal with the Bucks in the 2015 offseason. Monroe is due $17.88 million for the 17-18 season, which he may not command on the open market even with the cap spike.

Monroe has struggled with his fit within the Bucks.

Milwaukee also re-signed Miles Plumlee in the 2016 offseason, extended John Henson a year ago and drafted Thon Maker, making the center position a crowded one long-term.

Bulls Acquire Michael Carter-Williams From Bucks For Tony Snell

Oct 16, 2016 10:13 AM

The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to trade Michael Carter-Williams to the Chicago Bulls for Tony Snell.

The Bucks have been looking for more shooting on the perimeter following the hamstring injury to Khris Middleton. Milwaukee previously offered Carter-Williams to the Sacramento Kings for Ben McLemore.

The Bucks and Bulls met Saturday night in Chicago in a preseason game, but neither Williams nor Snell played.

Carter-Williams won Rookie of the Year honors with the Philadelphia 76ers and was dealt the next season in a move that allowed them to acquire a future first round pick from the Los Angeles Lakers.

Both Carter-Williams and Snell are 2013 first-round picks eligible for extensions ahead of the Oct. 31 deadline.
