Giannis Antetokounmpo is in his prime with multiple years left on his contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, but could the Bucks sudden postseason exit be a spark for major change? Howard Beck joins Kane to discuss the state of the land in Milwaukee. Where will the Bucks loss to Miami sit in history? The Giannis press conference? Judging the Mike Budenholzer era? Is there legitimate concern about the longevity of Khris Middleton? What to do with an ageing roster? What happened to Jae Crowder?

Current frustration aside. Do you view the five-year run for the Bucks a success?
Yes, anytime a small market team like Milwaukee has a banner hanging, it’s a success.
Respect to Howard Beck
There should be at least 2 banners hanging and we should be in the midst of a dynasty with prime Giannis. The team under Bud has underachieved when you reflect on the playoff losses after the regular season successes.
Howie frowns without trying
Successful considering how milwaukee is a small market and it is nearly impossible to attract superstars during FA and they managed to squeeze a title out of it after a 50 year drought. Even other bigger name teams like celtics failed to clinch a title during this period so there's that.
Still hurts that they didnt get at least 1 more, cos a generational superstar like giannis only comes once in a bluemoon, and they should have been a dynasty much like tim duncan spurs but we'll have to see how things go from here.
I got a strong feeling another year of disappointment means the end of giannis in a bucks uniform
The Crowder situation is indicament of Bud's inabilty to adjust. Traded for him to be PJ basically, to defend the opponent's best player, but the coach refused to play him for whatever reason
Howard's talking truth. Love my man Giannis, but it's truly levels and context to success and failure.
Howard Beck is great–knowledgeable, insightful and honest. Good interview!!
They need to fire bud right now it was a bad loss to the heat it hurt me so bad we lose to a 8 seed can believe it just can't
🚨🚨 id try to get porzingis out of Washington . Trade Brook for a younger 7’3 unicorn .
This was a nice change from the usual cast of regulars that are usually on. Thanks for having Howard on. He’s always a great watch or listen. Hope you’ll have him on more in the future. I’d love to see more national media guys come on and talk Bucks and get their perspectives. Such as Tim Bontemps, Brian Windhorst or Zach Lowe. I think most would agree and would love to see Charles Barkley on here too. Great job Kane.
I never thought bucks would even sniff a title before Giannis … would have like more championship in this run for sure but so many teams have had deep runs and never won 1
LET MIDDLETON AND LOPEZ WALK! Time to get younger. Grab a young cheap undersized center from the g league if you have to. I don’t care. We need to get faster, more athletic, cheaper, and switchable. Brook Lopez was going to cost us with his anchor feet against boston anyway. Middleton is a joke I would hate to give this guys more years of chokeholding us with his disaster contract. Bring back crowder and start jrue marjon crowder giannis and a young cheap center that we can develop throughout the season. Trade Grayson and pat for some cheese. Get some young athletic wings from the g league or free agency like a Stanley Johnson to round out your bench. We have no assets so let’s do what Miami did. They beat us with one star and a team of undrafted players and love from a buyout and washed players like Lowry. We can do it too. Get out of the repeater tax with this too. We need a young athletic switchable center. Even if they can’t shoot right now we can develop their shot during the regular season
When you have a PANTHEON GREAT TALENT ANYTHING LESS THAN 3 TITLES IS WASTING THEIR PRIME.
GET GIANNIS HIS PHIL JACKSON
We can look back in history and consider the last 5 years a success. However, we were knocking down the door of a dynasty but just couldn't quite get there. We're gonna be brought up as the regular season juggernaut that just couldn't consistently show up in the postseason.
This Bucks podcast has been delivering proper quality (old school) journalism and I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge it publicly.
Thank you Kane! You kept us very good company throughout the season, bringing us coverage and philosophical discussions about our beloved Bucks!
Great show. Great guest. Thx for putting this together. Thx to Howard Beck for joining us.
Trade Middleton for trae young
