Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Milwaukee Bucks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/p>\n
After previewing the market for Brook Lopez yesterday, it\u2019s time to gauge your interest in bringing him back, more generally speaking. You can read more about the kind of contract I expect he\u2019ll get here, whether it be from the Bucks or another franchise. But what about just the concept of Lopez returning? He\u2019s sure to get a big pay cut from last year\u2019s $23m, and while he likely won\u2019t get the minimum, what if he did? Since Milwaukee has his Bird rights, the money they\u2019d spend on a new contract for him can\u2019t go to new additions in free agency. Take money out of the equation: do you want him back?<\/p>\n

Speaking of free agent bigs, Jericho Sims is also an unrestricted free agent, and is the only other free agent whom the Bucks also have Bird rights. We\u2019ll have a preview of his market in the coming weeks, but before then, what do you think about re-signing him? Bird rights allow teams to pay their free agents anything up to their max, even though Sims was on a minimum deal last year. Neither he nor Lopez would require the use of a cap exception, so Milwaukee could make the biggest offer, provided one of the few teams with cap space doesn\u2019t want them.<\/p>\n
