Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe look at the lottery, with the Milwaukee Bucks picking 10th. How likely are they to keep that pick, and who are the names to actually consider? But more importantly, does the layout of the 2026 draft give us new insight into teams that might be best positioned to make a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo? Separate from that, how should Bucks fans feel after Myles Turner discussed Antetokounmpo's tardiness (and Doc Rivers' lack of holding players accountable for being late to appointments) on a podcast?
The Milwaukee Bucks introduced new head coach Taylor Jenkins on May 6, but the subtext of the day was whether or not Giannis Antetokounmpo would be back with the franchise. Lori Nickel and Jim Owczarski join host JR Radcliffe to discuss what they heard, what they think it means, the presence of Jimmy Haslam at the press conference, the impressive first impression for Jenkins himself and more.
Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski discusses the Milwaukee Bucks reportedly hiring new head coach Taylor Jenkins, what it means for the franchise and what he brings to the table, including ample coaching experience in Memphis. How will he fit, and most importantly, what does his hiring signal for Giannis Antetokounmpo in this critical Milwaukee offseason? How might other personnel be affected by his hiring, and why did Jenkins get fired in the midst of a successful sixth season with Memphis?
Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe give a post-mortem on the troubled 2025-26 Milwaukee Bucks season, including the departure of head coach Doc Rivers and where the Bucks turn next, and how quickly. With Giannis Antetokounmpo obviously the story line of the offseason, does that narrow the pool of possible candidates? Why didn't Doc work in Milwaukee? How do the two paths look this offseason (trading Giannis or keeping him) in terms of roster construction? Does the May 10 lottery matter? Also, just a tiny bit more about Shams Charania.
Journal Sentinel reporters Jim Owczarski and Lori Nickel discuss their recent work documenting the rift between the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Lori talks about her multi-part interview with Giannis, asking what he wants, how he feels and his frustration with not getting cleared to play basketball in the final moments of the season. He talked about his family staying in Greece for part of the season and why he feels so strongly about playing. Will this situation create a rift that proves irreconcilable? Jim discusses what general manager Jon Horst had to say and if the Bucks can truly build a winning roster this offseason to pair with Giannis. Is there a scenario where management wouldn't want Giannis back? How is this all likely to play out? And Doc Rivers definitely won't be back as head coach, right?
The Milwaukee Bucks have been an afterthought for a while, now clinching a losing record and eliminated from a playoff berth in 2025-26 for the first postseason miss in a decade. Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe examine the ashes, particularly looking for clues about whether or not Giannis Antetokounmpo will be back next year, and who's ultimately responsible for making that call. The NBA is obsessed with stopping tanking; is that a justified pursuit, and have the Bucks been violating some key tenets in that regard with Giannis? Is there any chance Doc Rivers is back as head coach next year? What else do we need to know about the rest of the team as we look ahead to 2026-27?
The Milwaukee Bucks have lost four straight games, including dispiriting losses to Chicago and Atlanta, and now their play-in hopes are on life support. What happened here? Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe discuss the situation as best they can. Is all hope really lost? Why can't this team find any measure of consistency? Why is Doc Rivers still head coach? Where does Giannis Antetokounmpo fit in all this? What's left to watch for over the season's final 20 games?
The Milwaukee Bucks have won eight of 10 without Giannis Antetokounmpo available, and Kevin Porter Jr. has taken center stage in a couple back-to-back wins over the Heat and Cavaliers. But everybody else in the chase for a play-in spot has been winning, too, leaving the Bucks still in need for a lot more. Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe discuss why this version of the Bucks has worked, when Giannis might be back, the ultimate future for Porter in Milwaukee, Myles Turner, the schedule ahead and more.
