Peter Feigin said, “We kind of laugh internally, it’s where we’ve been for 10 years. Giannis loves Milwaukee, Milwaukee loves Giannis. We’re in a good place. We feel great about it. It’s business as usual. We’re looking forward to next season.”

Though Peter Feigin shared very little but in those limited words, everything was said about the direction of the franchise. All is well within the Giannis camp and the Bucks’ management. Putting an end to the speculation was essential for the Milwaukee front office as they begin to shape their offseason strategy.

The Bucks have already added multiple players, and they have signalled that they are far from done. Their current approach has leaned heavily on signing free agents rather than pursuing trades. The Milwaukee Bucks remain a franchise to look forward to in the next season.
