Bucks GM Jon Horst on Giannis Antetokounmpo: Trade or extension both 'viable things for us to look at'

[ASFN Admin]

So what’s the timeline on a coaching decision? Because whether Doc is back or not, I would imagine the No. 1 question for any coaching candidate will be ‘Will Giannis Antetokounmpo be on the team?’ One would think that could affect someone’s desire to be on the bench. Jon Horst: I don’t agree with that. I don’t. I think, of course, we want to do as much as we can to figure out a path and get as much clarity as we can. We don’t have that clarity now. That decision hasn’t been made. You have three draft picks you could move and have some financial assets. Do you feel empowered to go down that path? Jon Horst: Yes. I do. So, you truly believe that both paths — trading Antetokounmpo to move in a different direction with those picks or trading the picks to surround Antetokounmpo with better talent — still remain in front of you? Jon Horst: I do, yeah. Absolutely. And not only just from my perspective, but I also believe from Giannis’ mindset and his perspective. Whether we need couple’s therapy or whatever, the assets will still be there. I do feel empowered that yeah, those things are both viable things for us to look at and consider.
