What's the likelihood that Giannis Antetokounmpo is back next season, and is there any way the Bucks can compete for a title? The answers to those questions might surprise you. Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel joins host JR Radcliffe to examine the big decisions looming for the Bucks this offseason. How do the Bucks define "competitive," and are we sure a re-tooled team with Giannis can't meet that definition in the years ahead? Will Doc Rivers be back as coach?
