Horst's Silence Raises Stakes at Giannis Crossroads
Jon Horst has gone quiet as the Bucks prepare for a pivotal offseason. Milwaukee bottomed out at 32-50, missed the playoffs and parted ways with coach Doc Rivers. The GM spoke openly in April about keeping multiple doors open for Giannis Antetokounmpo's future rather than limiting options to extension or trade. He has offered no updates since hiring Taylor Jenkins as coach. Milwaukee enters the summer with three tradable first-round picks, including the 2026 lottery selection and picks in 2031 and 2033, plus expiring deals such as Kyle Kuzma's $20.5 million contract.
