@thejamesmacon Coaching has nothing to do with somebodies will to rebound let alone ability to jump off the ground and grab them. He’s a solid stretch five but he ain’t what he used to be.
The Bucks are actively shopping Myles Turner and Kyle Kuzma in trade talks, but they’ve received little interest.
Turner is under contract through 2029, which also includes a 15% trade kicker.
Kuzma’s $19.4 million expiring could become more appealing near February’s deadline.
Giannis Antetokounmpo wishes to return to Milwaukee one day:
“I really believed that I would stay in Milwaukee for my entire career. But then I saw I was in my comfort zone. I wanted something different. And I am happy to be in Miami. I can’t lie, I don’t feel comfortable in Miami. I’ll go there and do my best…. I bleed purple and green… Basketball wise, I had a great time there. That will always be in my heart. That will never leave. I don’t know but I hope when the Miami chapter closes, and I don’t know when or if it will, and I don’t know how many years I’ll spend there, but I wish to return to Milwaukee if they’ll have me.”

Giannis admits he was worried that Bucks fans would feel betrayed if he asked for a trade:
“Yes. I certainly did. You can’t make a decision based on what others would think. The opinions of others never fed you, right? — I asked people who I love, ‘what do you think?’ I also wanted to get different opinions other than my agents or friends… I was scared a little bit. I thought people would say ‘after 13 years? You were practically raised here, we loved you! This is your team and you leave us?’ The people didn’t react that way at all. I saw it was something they wanted for me.”
