The Milwaukee Bucks have some very big roster decisions to make this offseason, as they currently have seven unrestricted free agents (UFA) to deal with and not a lot of resources to bring them back. Bucks general manager Jon Horst may need to pull off some serious salary cap gymnastics to keep this core together. For now, here’s a look at the Bucks’ seven UFAs.

Big man Brook

Outside of Khris Middleton’s player option, the free agency of the defensive minister Brook Lopez may be the most important decision facing the Bucks this summer. Lopez was an invaluable asset to the team's championship aspirations, providing rim protection, spacing on offense, and veteran leadership in the locker room.

Forwards Joe Ingles and Jae Crowder

Fully healed from a torn ACL, Joe Ingles gave the Bucks valuable minutes off the bench this season and is a solid veteran presence in the locker room. His strong shooting skills make him an ideal fit for Giannis and Lopez’s pick-and-roll game, while his ability to back up both Middleton and Giannis gives Milwaukee added depth at the forward spots.

Meanwhile, Jae Crowder was brought in after the All-Star break and was expected to be a key cog in the Bucks’ postseason campaign. However, he was barely given minutes, and his future with the team remains in limbo.

Guards Wesley Matthews and Goran Dragic

These two guards may be getting up there in age and NBA mileage, but still have what it takes to stay solid in the league. Matthews has done a solid job of providing veteran leadership and three-point shooting off the bench for Milwaukee, while Dragic's playmaking abilities make him valuable in a reserve role.

Little-used Meyers Leonard and Thanasis Antetokounmpo

Leonard and Antetokounmpo have been buried deep in the Bucks' rotation this season. While they may not get much playing time, their size and athleticism make them assets that can be used in certain matchups to provide valuable minutes.
