The Milwaukee Bucks have had a reasonably successful NBA offseason thus far after what was a devastating end to their 2022-23 campaign, which ended with a first-round loss to the eventual Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat.
The two biggest priorities for the Bucks heading into the offseason were re-signing two of their best players in sharpshooter Khris Middleton and veteran center Brook Lopez.
Fortunately, the Bucks were able to accomplish those two goals, with both players now under contract moving forward, keeping their star trio with Giannis Antetokounmpo intact and ready to continue competing for a title in the East.
Along with getting Brook back in the fold, Milwaukee added some depth in the frontcourt with his brother Robin Lopez agreeing to a deal with the team on Monday, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Although Robin is nowhere near the caliber of player that his brother is, he definitely helps the team in a couple of different ways.
He’ll bring another big body in the paint and obviously make Brook a bit happier on a day-to-day basis, which can only help the team and morale moving forward.
Along with these additions, the team recently agreed to terms with Jae Crowder, which further adds to the depth of the team.
It’ll be interesting to see if the Bucks can bounce back with a vengeance after being embarrassed in the playoffs, as the team needs to capitalize on every season with Antetokounmpo as the face of the franchise, or he may choose to go elsewhere in the near future.
