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
“I’m pre-cussing you out so you don’t get in that bs” 😂😂
best interview you've had. He kept it real
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.
Gary trent sr, a gem for sure!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥interview
Fantastic episode!
Yea Gary!
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!
Doc need to put Gary on the coaching staff
This was so good…fav content you guys released thus far. Really great stuff.
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 .
This was church man big g giving plenty game , I respect gt jr even more now ! Bring big g on staff man
Giannis new nickname is yannis Samich
Gary TRENT Sr is so real and we definitely missing his interviews in Toronto ❤ 🔥🔥🔥
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!!
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
