According to sources, the Bucks might be heading out of Milwaukee unless the Bradley Center receives funding to repair the 21-year-old facility.
“The NBA has a propensity to move teams,” Bradley Center board Chairman Ulice Payne told me this week. “What does that mean for us? From the Bucks’ perspective, it’s probably not a clear path for them, either. But we look at it from a building perspective that eventually our building will be replaced. It’s not our business to make the decision on how it’s resolved, but it is our business to tell the public about what’s happening here.
“Don’t count on us to save the Milwaukee Bucks. There’s an unspoken thing that somehow the building is great and the Bucks are going to be here forever. And I hope that they are. But I know, too, that you can’t count on the Bradley Center saving the Milwaukee Bucks.”
