Bucks reporter: Trent will seek a fat contract this summer and can get a contract with an annual salary of 8 million to 10 million

Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski recently interacted with fans and talked about the situation of many players in the team.

About Gary Trent (will be a free agent this summer)

I know Trent is looking for a fat contract, and my understanding is that he will get a contract between 8 million and 10 million this summer. We may have a better understanding of the potential market in the near future.

About Andre Jackson Jr. (two years left in the contract)

Reeves obviously didn't like Jackson, and that was the case for him when the team traded Kevin Porter Jr. According to Rivers' words and his behavior, that is, Jackson's weakness on the offensive end completely offset any improvement he brought to the team on the defensive end. As for whether he will get a chance to improve, I think we will see the results in the next training camp.

Regarding Jon Horst (General Manager of the Bucks)

Regarding the team building part, he obviously has autonomy. Jon Horst has proven that he is not conservative and is able to do a lot with something we consider inconspicuous. From 2020 to now, this year has been the most resourceful year for the team, so I expect him to do something and introduce some high-quality players.

About Taylor Smith

As a 20-year-old player, the team has no place for him next season. He needs to be bigger. When Middleton was ready to make a comeback, I had watched a training session between Middleton and Smith, and Middleton completely grasped him and Smith couldn't move. Not that Smith can’t get to that position, but they need to be stronger.

About Kevin Porter Jr. (2.55 million players option next season)

I think he will execute the player option because I do think he likes living in Milwaukee and playing in the Bucks. If other teams give more than the Bucks are willing to give, he can also foresee his departure.

About Chris Livingston

Livingston still has only potential. To be honest I'm curious what they'll do to him because I can't see the possibility of him playing on the team this year.
