Looks like we are bringing back Ibaka. Need regular season depth so we can limit minutes for Lopez.
Bucks have a 1.5M trade exception that expires tomorrow. They waived Vildoza and Tucker yesterday. Wonder if a vet min deal is incoming.
I think the roster is full unless there are plans to move someone.
I wonder if there is anything to this:

As far as Ibaka, he is 32 right now. He had been coming off back surgery where he never found a rhythm. Al Horford just had a "reincarnated" season at age 35/36. With a 100% healthy offseason, no reason Ibaka couldn't do something similar next season at age 33. He has always been a talented NBA player, worth the risk of a small 1-year deal.
The 14 does include Beauchamp, Nwora is not one of the 14 (Bucks made a qualifying offer making him restricted, still pending).

Great news....Pat Connaughton agrees to a 3-year, $30 million (or $28.5m per Woj) extension with a PO in the final year. Added to this year's player option, Pat is signed through 25-26 (assuming the option is exercised in final year). Very reasonable deal for a guy that has shown improvement (love the catch high and release shot) and is just 29. Similar to Bobby, will have a PO for 2025-2026.
Player Options for key players:
Middleton (23-24 for $40.3m)
Holiday (24-25 for $38.6m)
Giannis (25-26 for $51.9m)
Portis (25-26 for $13.4m)
Connaughton (25-26 for $9m)

The typical caveat "it's only summer league," but Sandro Mamukelashvili has been looking really good in Vegas. Rumblings (according to the announcers) that somebody is going to offer him a regular contract if the Bucks don't. I can't imagine the Bucks would let that happen. Sandro also played well last year with the Herd in the G League.
Sandro measured 6'10" in shoes with a 7'1.25" wingspan. Thinking back to the Boston series, needing someone that could get out and defend the perimeter while also having the strength/size inside. Someone else (other than Bobby) who can play the 4 and defend a Grant Williams or Al Horford with Giannis at the 5.
With a healthy Lopez, Portis and obviously Giannis......it will be hard to find minutes. However, Sandro was just drafted last year and is showing very solid/steady improvement. Also like what I am seeing from Beauchamp, his shot mechanics actually look very sound (made four 3's in yesterday's game). He already has a good feel for playing off the ball. When he adds more strength to go along with his long, wiry frame.....he could be a player.
