GA with a 3 year extension.

3 years, $186M.

 

The Lillard trade paid its biggest dividend before the season even began.

Worried about the Bucks depth just a tad. But man oh man. Lillard and Giannis on the same floor on offense is going to be fun

Depth and Dames defense are real concerns.
Might be a real good bet for the in season tournament though.

Head coach Adrian Griffin has been fired.

 

With the Bucks at 30-13 and second in the East, this is pretty likely not about wins and losses. He got off to a shaky start when offensive coach Terry Stotts resigned right before the season started. Oddly, Stotts had been hired before Griffin was. It’s also been rumored the players, Giannis most notably, were not big fans of Griffin.

 

Always believed it was a mistake for them to fire Budenholzer.

While assistant Joe Prunty will serve as interim head coach, the Bucks are said to be trying to hire Doc Rivers to the full time job.

Makes sense, Doc is pretty beloved in Milwaukee. I'm sure his Marquette jersey is hanging in the rafters of the arena he may be the next coach in. Pretty cool.

Sounds like the Bucks and Doc Rivers have a deal for him to return to coaching.

Bump.

 

Down 3-1 to the Pacers and Damian Lillard out with what is feared to be a torn Achilles tendon. Trading Giannis this summer would be best for both sides at this point. At least they’ll always have that 2021 title.
