Five burning questions and answers in the wake of the Milwaukee Bucks' first-round exit and their trade Thursday of veteran forward Ersan Ilyasova to Detroit: 1. What do the Bucks plan to do with their newfound salary-cap space? By jettisoning Ilyasova for the more cap-friendly contracts of Caron Butler and Shawne Williams, Milwaukee potentially cleared nearly $23 million in salary-cap space in hopes of becoming a true free-agent player. And they're thinking big with the sudden rush of available funds. Big men, specifically. League sources say the Bucks want a proven center in free agency if they can score one, and have pinpointed two kinds of former All-Stars -- Dallas' Tyson Chandler and Brooklyn's Brook Lopez -- as targets for the top of their wish list. Bucks coach Jason Kidd knows both of them well, having played alongside Chandler in both Dallas and New York and having coached Lopez with the Nets. And word is that Milwaukee intends to chase both hard come July 1 in hopes of emerging as a serious contender for at least one of them. - See more at: http://espn.go.com/blog/marc-stein/post/_/id/3881/summer-scoop-bucks-can-spend-cash
