Milwaukee Bucks: 3 reasons Jabari Parker will be missed

The Milwaukee Bucks have moved on from Jabari Parker, letting the former No. 2 overall pick sign with the Chicago Bulls. Once the season starts, they may end up regretting their decision.

The Chicago Bulls have continued to roll the dice during free agency. This time around, they found a way to pry Jabari Parker from the Milwaukee Bucks and bring him to the Windy City. A two-year deal potentially worth $40 million will do the trick.

We have heard the saying before: One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Jabari Parker is far from trash, however. Realistically, the Bucks recognized this as well. Did they let Parker walk because of salary cap implications? It appears that could be the case. Milwaukee had committed $115 million in salary for next season, and a deal for Parker could have pushed them past their hard cap ($129.8 million).

Perhaps the Bucks evaluated Parker’s talent differently than other teams. After all, they suffered through a handful of injury plagued seasons with Parker, and watched him not give total effort on the defensive end. Regardless, general manager John Horst made a decision and it just so happens that it could be one he ends up regretting.

So, what are the three reasons Milwaukee will miss Jabari Parker next season?
