Editing Milwaukee Bucks (section)

====2013–2014: under Larry Drew====
[[Jim Boylan]] was relieved of his coaching duties and ex-Atlanta Hawks coach [[Larry Drew]] was hired. On June 27, 2013, the Bucks chose Greek forward [[Giannis Antetokounmpo]] with the 15th overall pick of the [[2013 NBA draft]]. They also brought in [[O. J. Mayo]], [[Carlos Delfino]], [[Zaza Pachulia]], and [[Gary Neal]] as well as seeing [[Monta Ellis]] opt-out of the final year of his contract. The Bucks also agreed to sign-and-trade Brandon Jennings to the [[Detroit Pistons]] in exchange for [[Brandon Knight (basketball)|Brandon Knight]], [[Khris Middleton]], and [[Viacheslav Kravtsov]]. The Bucks later extended their contract with [[Larry Sanders (basketball)|Larry Sanders]] with a four-year, $44 million contract and traded [[Ish Smith]] and Kravtsov to the [[Phoenix Suns]] for [[Caron Butler]]. By the start of the 2013–14 season, the Bucks only had four players on their roster from the previous season. The season itself was a struggle, as the Bucks finished with the worst record in the league at 15–67, the worst record in team history.

On April 16, 2014, long-time Bucks owner Herb Kohl agreed to sell a majority interest of the team to New York-based billionaires [[Wes Edens]], and [[Marc Lasry]] for $550 million, but Kohl retained a significant minority interest in the team. The new owners were expected to keep the team in Milwaukee. They were also expected to contribute $100 million toward building a new arena for the franchise.<ref>{{cite news|title=Bucks owner Kohl reaches deal to sell team|url=http://www.nba.com/2014/news/04/16/bucks-franchise-sold.ap/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpts|agency=[[Associated Press]]|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=April 16, 2014|access-date=April 16, 2014|archive-date=July 11, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140711014324/http://www.nba.com/2014/news/04/16/bucks-franchise-sold.ap/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpts|url-status=live}}</ref> Approval from the NBA Board of Governors came on May 15, a month later.<ref name="Charles F.
