These deals bothered Doc Rivers and other coaches, as they felt the organization had bowed too much to appease their star player. To them, Giannis Antetokounmpo wanted things both ways.
“Giannis said so many things,” a former coach said, “It stems from your actions, which is, 'My brothers have to be on this team.' Well then, are you about a championship? 'Cause they’re not only not helping us win a championship, it’s creating dissension.” Jon Horst, meanwhile, appeared to try to appease Rivers with a different preferred player. The Bucks signed Amir Coffey, who began his career under Rivers with the Clippers. The team would cut former draft picks Chris Livingston and Tyler Smith to make room for the veteran. — 6/24/2026
