How did the Bucks get the rights to Ibou Badji? I must have missed this but was he cut from the Remix or did he just get an offer and sign with the Bucks/Herd?
He was with the Herd before he ever signed with the Blazers in 2022 and so if he isn't under contract with the Blazers, his rights revert back to the Bucks unless the Herd and Remix work out a trade for his rights. The Blazers could have kept him if they'd been willing to give him another two-way but they wanted to keep the flexibility and they also currently have four centers under contract with Ayton/Clingan/Timelord/Reath so it wouldn't have made sense to carry a fifth.
