Knowing that they no longer possess the element of suprise and that the teams below them are going to improve before they even have a chance, the Milwaukee Bucks are bracing themselves for a hard time trying to improve via free agency this offseason.  The team figure to have from $6 million to $10 million to spend, but do not have a first round draft choice.

"I don't want the fans to think that all we're going to be able to do is add one player and that's the way it is," GM Larry Harris said. "We have enough flexibility to be able to add some players to this roster. No, we're not going to be able to go out and sign a (superstar) free agent or something like that. We're doing to do it as a group and do it by committee and I think that's the way we're doing to have to win here in Milwaukee."
