Yeah hogging a roster spot and having a great coach fired because they give realistic criticism of you, simply because your brother is an nba superstar.
That doesn’t sound like preferential treatment at all :rofl:
Thanasis was drafted by the Knicks. It’s a stretch to claim they did that for Giannis, since there was a high probability it would be completely unrelated which turned out to be the case.
Mike Budenholzer was fired because of top management. Giannis even wanted Jason Kidd to stick around out of naive loyalty. Bucks were primarily owned by Lasry and Edens, one wanted to wash their hands of it since the franchise value went up and his sons run for a senate position in Wisconsin failed. In that ownership transition, changing the HC and FO around was a desire of Haslam. Doc Rivers will eventually be promoted to an executive role because he is well liked by Haslam.
