JULY 8: The Bucks have formally announced their deal with Teletovic, via a team release.
JULY 1: The Bucks and unrestricted free agent Mirza Teletovic have reached an agreement on a multiyear contract, Marc Stein of ESPN.com reports (via Twitter). The proposed deal is for three years and $30MM, Stein adds. Michael Scotto of The Associated Press tweets that the contract won’t contain any player or team options.
In Teletovic, Milwaukee adds a badly needed stretch-four to its rotation, an area the team was reportedly determined to address this offseason. It’s doubtful Teletovic will be a starter, but he should be a valuable piece off the bench while allowing 2016 first-rounder Thon Maker more time to develop.
The 30-year-old appeared in 79 games for the Suns this past season and averaged a career-high 12.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 21.3 minutes per contest. Teletovic connected on 42.7% of his field goal attempts overall, while knocking down 39.3% of his three-pointers, which was a career-best.
definitely adds some much needed shooting, but I am a little curious about going after a 4. They do have all that versatility though, so they’ll make it fit. Decent first move for them
Just realized the contract details…that could end up looking like a steal, depending on what a few similar others might get
Have to wonder with all the bigs the Bucks have now if they are committed to letting Greak Freak play PG or are planning to move Monroe
Not too expensive and we needed a shooter. Our pf game isn’t strong. Parker is great and Giannis is great but they can’t play 48 minutes. These role players are more important than bringing in dwade, as much as it would be fun to have him
I dont know, Bucks will never be contenders in the Sweepstakes with reasonable offers like that. Hell they are getting a free stadium, why are they scrimping on the Overpay? Strictly Small Market thinking.
That makes no sense.
Tim Mozgoz got $64 million. Is your suggestion they need more players like him?
The Delly and Mirza deals are smart, value pays for their 2nd unit.
With the contract he got I would have grabbed him up for my Lakers
