Continuing to build the connection between Antetokounmpo and Lillard will be a major part of that project for Rivers. While GM Jon Horst told The Athletic he would again make the trade that brought Lillard to Milwaukee a few days before training camp, there was no denial from the organization about just how difficult it was for the Bucks to attempt to merge the offensive skill sets of two superstars on the fly. “I think now we’re in a very, very good place,” Antetokounmpo said. “Before, we never had a player like him. It’s just something that slowly, slowly with time you understand. It’s definitely hard when I’m 29 and he’s 34 at this moment of our careers to kind of change the habits you’ve created, but if you want to win, you have to do so. I think we both — me, him and the rest of our team — are willing to do whatever it takes to win.” -via New York Times / October 3, 2024
