Bucks reportedly finalizing deal with Jason Terry

The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly set to bring in veteran guard Jason Terry.

ESPN’s Marc Stein reported Thursday that the 38-year-old was in “advanced talks” with Milwaukee, who are seeking veteran leadership in the locker room. Terry and coach Jason Kidd played together in Dallas as well.

On Friday, Stein confirmed that the deal was close.

Terry was a backup for Houston last season, and he’ll likely serve in a similar role for Milwaukee. He’ll bring a bit of veteran swagger and know-how to a very young Bucks team, but from a pure basketball standpoint, his impact will be limited.
