NBA still investigating Bucks, Trent for possible cap circumvention
According to The Athletic’s Joe Vardon, the NBA’s investigation into a potential cap-circumvention violation by the Bucks and Gary Trent Jr.—who signed a four-year, $64m deal this offseason—remains ongoing. Per Vardon, the league hired national investigations law firm Hecker Fink to conduct the probe. An NBA spokesman said the league’s investigation into Trent’s contract is […]
Bucks trade value rankings 2026-27
Having a good feel for each player’s value on the trade market is an exercise NBA front offices would routinely perform. For this week’s Reacts, we wanted to see where the Brew Hoop community landed on who leads the team in trade value. In this article, I expanded on that exercise by ranking the entire […]
Ranking the Roster: Jericho Sims wrecks rims at 11
Jericho Sims had the best year of his career over the 2025-26 campaign, playing as the Bucks’ backup center. Averaging 5.0 PPG, 5.5 RPG, and 1.6 APG, Sims was the gritty, athletic rim-runner who put in the dirty work. He earned himself increased playing time by showing his willingness to hustle and fight for boards […]
Ranking the Roster: Kasparas Jakučionis holds the line at 12
Kasparas Jakučionis—still just 20 years old—arrives in the Cream City via the Giannis trade as a young, intriguing guard prospect. Jakučionis is a 6’5” second-year guard who averaged 6.2 PPG, 2.6 RPG, and 2.6 APG in just under 18 minutes per contest for Miami. Except for his three-point percentage (42%), most of his stats don’t […]
Milwaukee showing ‘serious interest’ in Detroit’s Jalen Duren
The Bucks have shown serious interest in All-Star center Jalen Duren, per The Athletic. Duren is deadlocked with the Detroit Pistons over a long-term contract extension and could switch teams this offseason or in 2027 if they can’t reach an agreement. Still, Duren’s confidence is born out of the fact that his market for next […]
Bucks Reacts Survey: Who leads the team in trade value?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bucks fans and fans across the country. Now that Giannis is gone, the question of who leads the team in trade value is pretty interesting. As you’ll see in my personal trade value […]
Ranking the Roster: Gary Trent Jr. Klutches the bag at 13
Hoo boy. OK, so the obvious place you have to start with Gary Trent Jr. is his contract. It is the elephant in the room. There’s natural resentment toward Trent because of the contract. I get that. However, to me, the ire of fans shouldn’t go toward the player; it should go toward the GM, […]
Bucks Reacts Survey Results: Burries done started something
In the NBA awards race, Brayden Burries is coming out on top—at least as far as Milwaukee Bucks candidates go. Yes, just like he did in Summer League, it was Burries who hit hardest in this posse cut, blowing away his teammates and coach with his lyrical genius skill and potential, accumulating a dominant 43% […]
Ranking the Roster: Nate Ament raises eyebrows at 14
In many ways, I feel like I know exactly what to expect from Nate Ament this season, but in many others, I have no freaking idea. Conventional wisdom tells you that he’ll spend a lot of the season with the Herd—certainly at the start of the year—but also, lottery picks generally do not play much […]
Ranking the Roster: Pete Nance becomes a victim of circumstance at 15
You love Pete Nance. I love Pete Nance. The Milwaukee Bucks love Pete Nance. Yet, here we are. Life support. Nance’s story is one of perseverance and it doesn’t take much digging to work out why. From the beginning, his NBA career has been in and out of the ER. Heck, his personal transaction list […]
Fresh Kicks: What are the Bucks’ favourite basketball shoes?
With the season fast approaching, I decided to switch up from the usual and veer into a different lane: footwear. I wanted to investigate what shoes the Bucks wore last season, which will, by and large, inform what they wear this season. Players are creatures of habit and generally like to stick to the same […]
Ranking the Roster: Caris LeVert slides in at 16
After Milwaukee acquired veteran wing Caris LeVert and two second-rounders in a trade with the Detroit Pistons that sent Taurean Prince and Gary Harris eastward, LeVert looks primed for a quieter, smaller role on a rebuilding Milwaukee squad. The 2026-27 season will be LeVert’s 10th in the league, making him a veteran presence in one […]
Site Announcement: Meet Brew Hoop’s newest writers!
As you might have seen, a little while back, we put out a call for new writers. Well, we’re thrilled to finally be able to introduce you to them all. And what better way to do so than by giving them the mic, err, floor, err… Enjoy their wordsmithery! Nate O. Hey folks! I’m Nate, […]
Ranking the Roster: Bogoljub Markovic comes in green at 17
After being drafted and stashed, then going on to win MVP and, for the second year in a row, the Top Prospect Award in Serbia’s Adriatic League, the Milwaukee Bucks committed to Bogoljub Markovic early this offseason, signing him to a four-year, $9.3m rookie contract. The timing was both right and wrong. Markovic does have talent […]
Bucks Reacts Survey: Which Buck has the best chance of earning some hardware?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bucks fans and fans across the country. Our season predictions will come in October, when we undertake our first of four Roundtables for the season, but before we get to them we’re after your […]
Ranking the Roster: Cormac Ryan bangs the door down at 18
Even though Cormac Ryan has been ranked 18th, projecting the role he plays this season is harder than you assume it would be. After bouncing around the league for a while, Ryan began last year playing for the Herd. I highly doubt that, at 27 years old, he was on the Bucks’ radar at all […]
Bucks Reacts Survey Results: Most fans are more excited for this season than they were for last season
This week’s Reacts question focused on excitement levels for the upcoming season. We wanted to take the pulse on how fans are feeling heading into this season compared with 12 months ago, given the major organisational changes since then. Well, it’s safe to say there’s been no loss in enthusiasm, with nearly three-quarters of respondents […]
Ranking the Roster: Kam Jones returns home at 19
And we’re off, starting with a familiar face to the people of Milwaukee. Look, as we sit here today, Kam Jones’ path to NBA minutes seems miles away, given that he has to beat out ~15 guards to even get a sniff. Still, as a pure value play, it was worth the Bucks taking a […]
Ranking the Roster: It’s baaack!
The playoffs, the draft, free agency. These are the pinnacles of NBA—and by extension Milwaukee Bucks—fandom. Well, Ranking the Roster isn’t too far behind, especially around here! An annual tradition, Ranking the Roster has been a staple of Brew Hoop since 2014. Back then, a little-known sophomore won the crown in a vote that showed […]
Questions & Antlers: An off-season chinwag with Jack and Zac (Part 2)
As always, the Brew Hoop community came up big, posing some very thoughtful questions. Coaching, projections, perspective, roster construction, team priorities, and more. You hit ‘em all. Here’s our takes; thanks for choppin’ it up. Coaching Harms: Where would you rank Taylor Jenkins right now vs the rest of the league Head coaches? Zac: This […]
Bucks Reacts Survey: Are you more excited for this season than last?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bucks fans and fans across the country. For most of the last ~eight seasons, the Bucks have entered the year with the realistic expectation that they can compete for a title. Naturally, that […]
TECKnically speaking: A Q&A with Locked On Bucks’ Camille Davis
Some voices become so familiar they feel like family. Camille Davis, co-host of Locked On Bucks and the TECKnical Foul Podcast, has quickly become one of those. A Milwaukee native, Davis covers the Bucks and the NBA (along with the NFL and WWE) in a soft-spoken style that blends insightful analysis with passion and humour. […]
Bucks Reacts Survey Results: “Brayden Burries will become an All-Star,” say Bucks fans
This week, time ceased to exist—at least how we know it—allusions abounded, and we put on our beer goggles in anticipation of what’s to come. How bright will that future be? Will Kel’el Ware grab his opportunity with both hands? And if Brayden Burries looks in a mirror, does he see Dwyane Wade? Conceits aside, […]
Questions & Antlers: An offseason chinwag with Jack and Zac
Back for the first time this season: our Questions & Antlers series! For those who might’ve forgotten, this is our version of a mailbag—you ask the questions and we do our best to answer them. This year, the series will run on a quarterly basis to give you even more opportunity to have your voice […]
Beer Goggles: The future is bright and blurry in Brew City
“I can’t believe this just happened!” You either said it or you heard it, on a day you never thought would come—when the Bucks traded away a player we got to watch grow up, a player who became a multi-time All-Star and fixture in the community, and who helped Milwaukee raise its first championship banner […]
