Already, the NBA Season is looking like one of the most competitive in recent memory. That the Bucks got fan-favorite Bobby Portis to stay home on the cheap is perhaps one of the best front office moves so far this offseason solely because of its value.
After a brief stint with the Knicks, Portis put in the most efficient season of his career with the Bucks, putting up The 6-foot-9 big was also among the best shooters for his position, as evidenced by his. Quite simply, Portis could start for most teams, and having him come off the bench proved to be an advantageous luxury for the Bucks. The two games the Bucks played versus Atlanta with Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined all the more accentuated his value.
With his legacy as a Milwaukee Buck secured, leaving would have been the logical thing to do. The writing seemed to be on the wall when he opted not to exercise his player option for his second year. Offers from other teams, including the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat , came not long after. As they say, the rest is history. Where they lose the veteran presence and premiere, switchable defense of Tucker, they gain the hard-nosed play and near-elite wing defense of Grayson Allen.
Tucker, Jeff Teague, Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Alex Toupane will each be unrestricted free agents at the season's end, while Justin Jackson will be a restricted free agent.

And while the price wasn't as steep, the same could be said for Tucker, who also made this team more playoff-ready than in years past.
