Miles Plumlee to stay with Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks and center Miles Plumlee have agreed to a four-year, $50 million contract.

Plumlee was a restricted free agent but said after last season he wanted to return to Milwaukee. Bucks coach Jason Kidd and management also said they wanted to sign him to a long-term deal after the 6-foot-11 Plumlee emerged as a viable option in the second half of the season.

Agent Mark Bartelstein confirmed the deal Monday morning and said the contract could reach $52 million with incentives that Plumlee should be able to achieve (minutes played is one component). Salaries do not escalate in the deal but stay the same across the board with a base salary of $12.5 million each year. No player or team option is included in the deal.
