Matt Velazquez with a post-mortem after the Bucks season came to an unceremonious end. What's next for Giannis and Mike Budenholzer?

Bucks beat reporter Matt Velazquez and host JR Radcliffe provide a post-mortem on the 2019-20 Bucks season, one ended in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Was there something different about Giannis' comments after the loss that reassure he's staying long-term in Milwaukee (3:30)? Was the criticism of Mike Budenholzer warranted, and would the Bucks actually be willing to move on at head coach (8:15)? Khris Middleton may still have his doubters, but he showed up in the series (23:15). Is the Eric Bledsoe/Malcolm Brogdon comparison fair, and does this series change the framing of that discussion ... and will Bledsoe be back (29:30)? What is the Bucks ultimate path forward to getting better (38:00)? Is there ANY point at which the Bucks decide to trade Giannis (44:15)? Is there still a chance the Bucks will be seen as the team to beat in the East in 2021 (48:00)? Was this the Bucks destiny, or did the collapse happen because of the disruption of the bubble (51:30)?
