Hoops Rumors
Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslam was at the Cleveland Browns’ training camp on Friday, but even in an NFL setting, he couldn’t escape questions about the decision to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami, Jim Owczarski of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel writes in a subscriber-only piece.
“So, my dad (Jim) is 95 ½, but he still follows every sports move we make, and he called me up after we traded Giannis,” Haslam told reporters.
“He goes, ‘Do you know that in the last month you’ve traded Myles Garrett and Giannis?’
“And Giannis is a generational player, won a championship, but we felt the need to get younger.
We’ve got to use those picks wisely, just like we have to do with the Myles trade.
