  • They now he will be that one of their franchise players alongside Victor Oladipo, committing a huge amount of money to him.

  • For a guy who's had foot injuries in the past and Milwaukee just like facilitating and agreeing to it moving on right out of the gates here, that was what fascinates me.

  • And I mean, I just wanted like when Malcolm Broxham wasn't playing for part of these playoffs, you could see on the court the effect it had on Milwaukee.
