After NBA championship, Portis’ loyalty was with Milwaukee and he cherished the organization’s culture and winning environment. The MIL community embraced him. Portis passed on more money in favor of the Bucks last summer — and this year he stuck with happiness and stability.

I know this is not going to be popular, but Demarcus Cousins showed he still has some life in him . He has certainly been humbled , and he is an unrestricted FA who might come cheap
