Bucks' Next Move After Cutting Chris Livingston

The Milwaukee Bucks have cut Chris Livingston, and this move might not be the only one before the NBA season.

Tyler Smith's future with the Bucks has been uncertain, but the recent decision to cut Livingston hints that it could be coming to an end soon.

Like Livingston, Smith didn't feature much in Milwaukee's preseason rotation, with Doc Rivers opting to play others, even those without standard contracts.

Livingston's departure could foreshadow their stance on Tyler Smith.

Milwaukee's roster crunch remains unsolved, with 14 players on standard contracts, three two-ways, and two players on the bubble: Andre Jackson Jr. (non-guaranteed deal) and Amir Coffey (Exhibit 9).

Since Jackson and Coffey earned minutes in every preseason game, it's clear that Rivers likes them, especially Coffey.

Author's summary: Bucks' next move seems inevitable after cutting Livingston.
