Milwaukee declined his fourth year option on October 31
It looks as though we are inching ever closer to MarJon Beauchamp’s time with the Milwaukee Bucks coming to an end. According to Marc Stein, sources say that Milwaukee and Beauchamp’s representatives at Klutch Sports are working on finding the former first-round pick a new home. This follows a report from Jake Fischer back on October 19, where he stated that the Bucks had interest in moving on from Beauchamp before they even decided to decline his option.

It’s no surprise that Beauchamp and the Bucks are looking to part ways, with the former G League Ignite product failing to crack Milwaukee’s rotation, even with Khris Middleton recovering from off-season surgery. Beauchamp has only appeared in five of the Bucks’ six games, averaging 2.6 minutes per contest, and only has a season-high of five minutes in the Bucks’ 122-99 loss against the Memphis Grizzlies on Halloween.
After getting his fourth-year option declined on Thursday, Beauchamp is set to become an unrestricted free agent at season’s end and will make $2.7 million this season. With the Bucks firmly over the second apron of the tax threshold, the Bucks cannot take in a salary higher than his—if he is the highest-paid player they’re sending out in a deal—and can’t add aggregate him with someone else to acquire a higher-earning player.
We will keep you apprised as soon as we know where Beauchamp’s potential next home will be.
