The Milwaukee Bucks paid a steep price to acquire Greivis Vasquez last summer.

The Bucks acquired the veteran guard from the Toronto Raptors for not only a 2017 No. 1 draft pick -- which the Bucks acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers -- but also a second-round choice in the 2015 draft, which turned out to be guard Norman Powell, who had a solid rookie season for the Raptors.

Unfortunately for the Bucks, they never really collected on their hefty investment. Vasquez played in only 29 games this season, undergoing surgery in mid-December to remove bone spurs from his right foot and not, contrary to published reports, ankle surgery.

The 29-year-old Vasquez averaged just 5.7 points and shot 25 percent from 3-point range. Bucks officials were hoping for so much more, especially with his perimeter shooting. During the 2014-2015 season with Toronto, Vasquez shot 38 percent from beyond the arc.

But now Vasquez is on the brink of becoming an unrestricted free agent and there are strong indications the Bucks’ trade for him will turn out to be an unmitigated disaster.

Vasquez told The Journal Times he hasn’t made any commitment to staying with the Bucks and will consider signing with another team once the free agency period begins on July 1.
