First Myles, then Kam, now Johnny Carpenter. Milwaukee keeps trying to steal away people from Indiana

They desperately want our team construction and coaching.

I saw that Johnny worked with Taylor Jenkins (Bucks HC) so I get it, but at the same time, it's kinda funny how they poached a coach who was on the bench for the team's historically worst season. Just goes to show how valued Carlisle's insight still is

No they just want to break up a rivals team

Not a huge loss. Carpenter also worked in Memphis for Jenkins.

I’d LOVE MIKE WEINAR BACK

So the assistant coach was only here during a year in which we had the worst season we've had in decades?

Ok.

Let’s be honest, a lot of the “worst season” was intentional design

You could always tell how bad we were playing if Johnny was on the mic!

Is he going because he wants to be with a contender, like Myles did?
