Built Ford Tough Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Most likely amnesty cut: Beno Udrih How likely to use amnesty this season? Jump ball Other amnesty candidates: Drew Gooden Analysis: After trades to undo the ill-fated acquisitions of Corey Maggette and John Salmons, Milwaukee's amnesty choice comes down to two players: Drew Gooden or Beno Udrih. And while Gooden's salary figures (he's due $26 million over the next four seasons) tend to jump off the page, sources close to the situation insist that Milwaukee plans to keep him over the Slovenian point guard. The Bucks badly need rebounding and frontcourt depth, whereas Brandon Jennings is the clear starter at the point and both Shaun Livingston and Keyon Dooling play the position. So look for Udrih, acquired in a draft-day deal and coming off a fairly useful season with the Kings, to wind up on the free-agent market. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7147880/nba-most-likely-amnesty-candidates Even though Udrih is clearly the 2nd best point guard on the roster (perhaps even better than Jennings in some aspects) it does make sense to cut him as the Bucks have two other competent backups at the point (as well as having Jackson at the 2) but are very thin up front. Strictly in terms of talent he doesn't deserve to get cut but I can understand why the Bucks would let him go, if they so choose to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
