Bucks Waive Drew Gooden via Amnesty Clause

The Milwaukee Bucks are going through a bit of a transition period. The face of their franchise for the last several years has been Brandon Jennings, but he reportedly doesn’t want to stay, and Monta Ellis already gone.

Also gone now is Drew Gooden who was waived via the amnesty clause. It would appears as if the Bucks have some room to sign decent players now, but who is out there?

The Bucks announced Tuesday that veteran forward Drew Gooden has been released using the amnesty clause.

Gooden, 31, averaged 3.3 points and 1.9 rebounds in 16 games for the Bucks last season. He was set to earn $6.7 million in both 2013-14 and 2014-15 after agreeing to a five-year deal worth $32 million in 2010. Per the terms of the league’s amnesty provision, the Bucks will still owe Gooden that salary but it will be removed from their books for salary cap and luxury tax purposes.
