The decision of Greg Monroe, one of the most sough after free agent was expected. Announced successively in New York, Los Angeles (Lakers) and Portland, the player finally decided to go with the Milwaukee Bucks. He is about to sign a three-year contract, optional 3rd year, for a maximum amount of $50 million.

For Milwaukee, worst record in the league for 2013-2014 with 15-67, the arrival of Monroe, 7th choice of the Draft 2010 was a nice shot. The franchise of Wisconsin, led by Jason Kidd continues its rebuilding around young talented players like Jabari Parker, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton, who have just extended. The Bucks also drew Greivis Vasquez, substitute leader of the Toronto Raptors, the evening of the Draft.

Monroe, which turned this season at 15.9 points, 10.2 rebounds average, in 31 minutes, had expressed the wish to discover the play-offs. He should be able to do so with the Bucks, 6th in the Eastern Conference in 2014-2015.

Greg Monroe may have found himself a perfect fit, cash, and sustained flexibility – http://t.co/1P2FNINMpY
