There was never a real discussion of the concession of Giannis Antetokounbosas the Bucks coach, Doc Rivers, did clearly, responding to ESPN’s report on contacts with the Knicks.
“I have been a coach for 26-27 years and one thing I know is that 30 teams call 30 teams (for possible exchanges). They say, for example, ‘would you like to exchange Chris Paul?’ And you answer no. This is not a discussion of an exchange. I read that they were saying about several discussions about John’s exchange. Well, that never happened. It was a debate where a team phoned and John Horst (Bucks’ Jenner’s manager) responds not to… 11 years. I don’t know why this is news now, but I guess that’s how it is considered“, He stressed.
“John continues how dedicated he is to the team and how he thinks he can get better, so I don’t have to do that. Every piece of John says this. If you read his comments this summer, every comment he has made is about being in Milwaukee, that he loves the city. This story is tired, but at the end of the day, we can do nothing about it. What I can tell you for sure that John Horst has never called a team to exchange John. This has never happened. And until that happens, there’s really no news“, The Bucks coach added.
