The Milwaukee Bucks' free agent point guard is gaining a lot of interest from multiple Western Conference teams.
Free Agent Bucks Guard Gaining Interest From Multiple West Teams: Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Milwaukee Bucks have made major moves since the NBA free agency started. They acquired a younger center in Myles Turner, and re-signed multiple players to return to the team (Bobby Portis, Taurean Prince, Jericho Sims and Gary Trent Jr.).
However, they haven't resigned free agent guard Ryan Rollins. The 23-year-old guard remains an unrestricted free agent and is yet to receive an offer from the Bucks. This has led to multiple teams gaining interest in acquiring the former Toledo player.
Rollins has impressed teams with his impressive play last season, his best season. He was mostly in a reserve role, but had multiple chances as a starter for Milwaukee.
On Friday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported on which teams have expressed interest in Rollins. Aside from the Bucks, the former 44th pick in 2022 has gotten buzz from multiple Western Conference teams.
"Coming off the best season of his career, 23-year-old free agent guard Ryan Rollins has drawn interest from the Milwaukee Bucks, Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs, Portland Trail Blazers, and Los Angeles Lakers, league sources told HoopsHype," Scotto wrote.
Rollins played in 56 games during the previous season, including 19 as a starter. During that span, he averaged 6.2 points on 48.7% shooting from the field. The youngster also made 40.8% of his shots from downtown.
"Despite withdrawing a qualifying offer to Rollins, which reduced his cap hold to gain more cap space, the Bucks still have Early Bird Rights to re-sign him."
Scotto explained that the Blazers could use their non-taxpayer mid-level exception for Rollins. The Spurs and Lakers, though, have bi-annual exceptions in their salary cap. Lastly, the Suns have a veteran minimum they could offer.
However, that could change if they successfully negotiate a contract buyout with All-Star guard Bradley Beal.
