Taurean Prince's recent decision to waive an implied no-trade clause in his new two-year, $7.1 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks has raised eyebrows within the NBA landscape. By relinquishing this clause, Prince opens himself up to potential trade scenarios, albeit at the risk of losing his Early Bird rights if he opts out in the second year. Last season, Prince averaged 8.2 points along with solid shooting splits in 80 games for the Bucks. His defensive performance improved compared to that of Khris Middleton, who struggled with injuries and was benched before being traded. This move aligns with Milwaukee's roster strategy, especially following Middleton's departure and the team’s pursuit of a more dynamic lineup.
