  1. for 49:15 .. im pretty sure they pretty much just signed him for his bird rights .. same as how they did it with bobby

    now they can go over the cap to get him paid next year

  2. This man is gold, his son is definitely lucky to have him in his corner. GTJr is gonna be the next star in Milwaukee, bet that.

  3. Magnificent…..I enjoyed this one too. My goodness. good stuff Gary Trent Sr. Hard core hoops. Excellent story. Good job MJ & Kris. Solid. I am excited for KPJ & Trent or Rollins and Anthony foursome in any order man. Woo!

  4. Why in the world is this guy not an assistant coach? He is absolutely brilliant and totally understands the game , and the psyche of the NBA .

  5. This was a phenomenal interview! Respect to Gary Senior! I love what Trent Jr brings to the Bucks team. Excited for the season! Go Bucks!!

  6. This was a great interview, and this is why Doc is still around. He has connections like no other coach. I know most fans think all our pick ups was all Horst, but if u see the makeup of the team, it has Doc fingerprints all over it. Throughout Horst's tenure, he never was this aggressive with roster construction. He makes 1 maybe 2 good moves but be content on relying on a slow Brook, declining Middleton, and a why are u still here Pat
