While the Milwaukee Bucks try to improve their roster, one of the biggest roadblocks is the salary cap.
They just don’t have much room to bring on a significant player.
One strategy that hasn’t been pursued yet could be applying to the league for a career-ending injury exemption for retired forward Jon Leuer. That would save a little over $3 million.
That may be not much help, but it’s a start. They saved $10.5 million two years ago by getting an exemption for Mirza Teletovic.
Applying for the exemption doesn’t mean automatic approval.
Leuer announced his N-B-A retirement earlier this year, pointing to his declining physical health and durability.
