Buck to Decline Alexander's Option
Oct 31, 2009 11:13 AM EST


The Bucks will not pick up the option on the contract of forward Joe Alexander, sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The decision will make Alexander the highest pick in NBA history to have his rookie option declined.
Milwaukee officially has until Monday to pick up the $2.7 million option or allow the forward to become an unrestricted free agent next summer.

Wow that's crazy considering he was the #7 pick last year, the same year we drafted Lopez. I remember a lot of Suns fans wanting us to trade up to get him or hoping he would fall to us.

That's just kind of odd. He had a great tournament the year he was drafted iirc. What's goign on over in Milwaukee? Is he that bad?

Do you reckon we could pick him up somehow? Maybe with our MLE?
