The Bucks have signed guard Tyronn Lue to a 1-year, $2.5 million dollar contract. Lue can handle either the point guard or shooting guard positions for the Bucks but he should be limited to 15-20 minutes per night which is when he is most effective. Lue played in 50 games (3 starts) for the Hawks and Mavericks last season and he averaged 14.7 minutes, 5.8 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. The 31-year old Lue should be a solid addition to the Bucks bench as long as they keep his minutes down. Lue has now played in 510 games (173 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 23.6 minutes, 8.9 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.

The Bucks have signed forward Malik Allen. Allen is 6′10″, 255 pounds as he is basically nothing more than a reserve power forward who doesn’t mind throwing his body around. Allen played in 73 games (16 starts) for the Nets & Mavericks last season and he averaged 15.0 minutes, 4.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. Don’t expect Allen to put up numbers much better than that for the Bucks who have a few forwards ahead of Allen on the depth chart. Allen has now played in 360 games (119 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 16.8 minutes, 5.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. This was a solid signing for the bench of the Bucks.
