When Jerami Grant was available in potential trades this offseason, he was most strongly linked with the Portland Trail Blazers and was eventually traded there. But the Milwaukee Bucks were another team that expressed interest in trading for Grant when he was made available by the Detroit Pistons.

A similar, albeit lesser player in Jae Crowder is now available on the trade market by the Phoenix Suns and could fit the profile of what the Bucks are looking for. Milwaukee previously had P.J. Tucker play that role for them when they won their championship, but they elected not to re-sign him during the 2021 offseason.

"The Bucks will look though I bet," said Zach Lowe on his podcast about Milwaukee potentially having interest in Crowder. "The Bucks were sneakily kind of sniffing around Jerami Grant in Detroit before Portland swooped in. I think they like the idea of the switchable, switchable, switchable guys."

The Blazers acquired Grant from the Pistons in a package built around a 2025 first round pick via the Bucks and No. 36 in 2022. 

Jordan Nwora has agreed to re-sign with the Milwaukee Bucks on a two-year, $6.2 million deal.

Nwora was one of the NBA's last remaining restricted free agents.

The Bucks had 14 guaranteed contracts on their roster before the signing.

The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to sign Marques Bolden to a training camp deal.

Bolden appeared in seven games across the 19-20 and 20-21 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In 20 G League games last season with Salt Lake City, Bolden averaged 12.3 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks.

Ibou Badji has signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Badji played in Spain last season averaging 8.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per game.

Badji went undrafted in 2022.

The Milwaukee Bucks signed and waived forward Alex Antetokounmpo. This move is designed to get Antetokounmpo to the Wisconsin Herd of the G League. Antetokounmpo will likely get a $50,000 bonus if he remains with the Herd for 60 days.

Antetokounmpo played for Raptors 905 of the G League last season. The 6-foot-8 forward played just 162 minutes in 23 total games for Toronto's minor league affiliate.

The Herd recently completed a trade for Antetokounmpo's Returning Player rights. That set the stage for the sign-and-waive process with the Bucks.

The Milwaukee Bucks have signed and waived guard Rob Edwards. This set of transactions was designed to get Edwards' G League rights for the Wisconsin Herd.

Edwards appeared in two NBA games for the Oklahoma City Thunder last season while on a hardship callup. In 32 G League games for the Oklahoma City Blue, Edwards averaged 13.3 points. The Arizona State product also averaged 4.4 rebounds per game.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was held out of Greece's 93-77 win over Great Britain in Monday's EuroBasket game due to knee pain.

"He had discomfort in his knee but nothing major," Greece head coach Dimitris Itoudis said at his postgame news conference, adding "we did not want to risk anything so we did not dress him up today."

Antetokounmpo is expected to return to action on Tuesday against Ukraine.
