Bucks' Trent Deal Under NBA Probe | Milwaukee Bucks News

The NBA is digging into the Milwaukee Bucks’ eyebrow-raising $64M, four-year deal for Gary Trent Jr., sparking questions about tampering after he took a minimum contract last summer — with whispers of a secret agreement to underpay now, hoping for a bigger payday later. Trent’s underwhelming stats (8.1 ppg in 21.2 mpg) don’t justify the contract, but reports suggest another team was ready to sign-and-trade for him at a similar price, hinting the Bucks may have simply overpaid for a player they believed in. The league’s probe will decide if this was a savvy move or misconduct. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
