With the loss to the Pacers today they put away the Bucks in 6. Not having Giannis proved too much for the rest of the Bucks to overcome.
Here’s how their offseason is shaping up:
Cap Space
Cap Holds
Draft Picks 1st Round
2nd Round
Outlook
Injuries to Giannis and Dame at the end of the season put an end to the championship hopes the Bucks had when they signed Dame last offseason. The bucks never looked like they got things to click this year as they struggled to get the offense to maximize both Giannis and Dame. The defense has looked good in stretches but head scratching in others.
They’re very limited on moves due to being near the 2nd apron and limited on tradable draft picks. Running it back with this roster may work out but a concern is that Middleton and Lopez will be another year older and while he’s typically been healthy and able to push past injuries (especially in 2021) Giannis has now missed at least parts of the last 2 postseasons due to injury.
The hope is that the long offseason and a training camp together will give Doc and the Bucks time to figure thing out more and hopefully make a push next year with a healthy team.

Impressive write up. I think they’ll be back and good again next year. The injuries overall really hampered them this year. Their biggest issue is probably depth.
