The Los Angeles Lakers are trying to build something special around LeBron James this season. However, there are many NBA teams aiming to come back stronger as well, including Giannis Antetokounmpoā€˜s Milwaukee Bucks.

Following a shocking elimination to the eight-seeded Miami Heat in the playoffs, the team parted with head coach Mike Budenholzer. Now it’s Adrian Griffin’s turn to try and take Milwaukee back to the top.

Meanwhile, the purple and gold seem to be in a better spot, having made interesting moves in the free agency as they prepare to run things back with Darvin Ham. However, they still lost a player to the ambitious Bucks.
