The Milwaukee Bucks have already made splash in free agency by signing Join O.J. Mayo to a contract and now the team appears to have gotten even stronger on offense, bringing in Carlos Delfino on a two-year deal.
According to Yahoo Sports, Delfino is coming to the Bucks on a $6.5 million deal over two years that includes a team option in the third year for $10 million. Last season he averaged 10.6 points a game while playing with the Rockets and is considered an above average shooter and he comes in as the Knicks were also interested in him. According to ESPN.com, the team could go after Sebastian Telfair as well.
The 30-year-old had a solid year with the Rockets and the team needs to reload in free agency after losing both Monta Ellis and J.J. Redick. Delfino has been around the league, playing for Detroit, Toronto, Milwaukee and Houston.
The Bucks have already brought in Mayo and star Brandon Jennings is expected to return to the team this offseason as well. The Bucks have a solid young core with Larry Sanders, Ersan Ilyasova and John Henson and with the 15th pick in the draft they could get another solid starter. The Bucks feel like they are trending upwards with players like Sanders, who greatly improved while doubling his scoring and rebounding over the season and Henson has also showed flashes of brilliance. Ellis will be the first major decision for the team, as if he opts out there is chance that they will try to resign him, but reports say he would consider the Kings. Another option could be with Devin Harris, as he played with Drew in Atlanta and can play point guard and shooting guard and since he used to play at the University of Wisconsin, Harris said signing with the Bucks is a possibility.
