Bobby Portis, one of the league's top reserves, declined his player option for next season and instead agreed to a three-year, $44 million contract to remain with the Milwaukee Bucks, agent Mark Bartelstein confirmed Sunday.

Portis has a player option in his contract that he needs to decide whether or not to exercise, but all signs are pointing to him declining it. While that may seem like bad news for Milwaukee, recent reports indicate that Portis could follow the same path Naz Reid just took with the Minnesota Timberwolves by declining his player option before re-signing with the team on a long-term deal.
