NBA roster shifts follow Giannis Antetokounmpo departure from Milwaukee Bucks

The NBA landscape is undergoing significant shifts following major player movements, including Giannis Antetokounmpo leaving the Milwaukee Bucks for the Miami Heat and LeBron James joining the Philadelphia 76ers.

As the Milwaukee Bucks transition into a new era after moving on from both Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, the franchise is evaluating its roster and contract values. Key players remaining on the Bucks' books include Tyler Herro, who is entering the final year of his contract with a projected 2026-27 salary of $33 million, and Ryan Rollins, who earns $4 million annually.

Meanwhile, several notable players remain in the free-agent market. Jalen Duren, an All-Star big man for the Detroit Pistons, remains a restricted free agent as the franchise weighs offering a maximum contract. Other available players include scorer Cam Thomas and unrestricted free agent Bruce Brown Jr.
