It's being called Jabari Parker insurance as Milwaukee gets set to sign Chris Copeland, the former New York Knick and Indiana Pacer. Copeland is a stretch four who could fill the role for Parker if he's out until January like some expect him to be when the season begins in October. Copeland will also fill a similar role that Jared Dudley played last year, and while he's not the vocal leader like Duds, Milwaukee hopes he can be that same sort of difference maker for the team. Copeland didn't play much for the Pacers last season and saw his three-point shooting percentage drop to 31 versus being above 40 for the first two years of his career. I also like Copeland's edginess for this Bucks team.

This means Milwaukee is over on roster spots so who knows the next person off the team. My guess would be Johnny O'Bryant.
