Peace out, draft season. Hello, free agency rumor season. Hook it up into my veins. It has begun. According to a report from Sporting News' Mitch Lawrence, the Bucks may be in the running to make an offer to former Chicago Bulls big Joakim Noah. Lawrence lists the New Knicks, Minnesota Wolves, and Washington Wizards as other suitors, with Washington reportedly willing to offer the full max to Noah. Given that the 31 year-old is coming off of surgery to repair a dislocated shoulder, that type of contract seems ... superfluous. Though the Bucks likely aren't (and shouldn't be) considering offering that type of money to Noah, acquiring him won't come easily either. With Washington maybe offering a truckload and both Minnesota and New York having familiar faces, selling Noah on Milwaukee may be difficult for Kidd and company. The pitch would start with "a substantial offer" as Lawrence notes (whatever that means), and it would require some other housekeeping for it to start making sense. - See more at: http://www.brewhoop.com/2016/6/24/1...ounmpo-jabari-parker-derrick-rose-free-agency
