Chris Haynes: This upcoming meeting, expected to take place next week in Milwaukee, will be the first time both sides formally sit down post-season. Let me also add: there was no exit interview for Giannis. From what I was told, the Bucks said, “Hey, emotions are running high immediately after the loss, so let’s pivot and have this conversation later.” As a result, there’s been no communication between the two sides from that point until this morning. This meeting, scheduled for the middle of next week, will be Giannis’s chance to express what he wants and desires—but also, and most importantly, to listen. He’ll want to hear what plans the organization has. What are they planning to do with Bobby Portis? What about Brook Lopez? And what’s the plan regarding Damian Lillard’s injury and potential replacement? Is there anything actionable in that area?
