Harsh way to go down 0-2 to Miami. The casualties in waiting are both named Mike. Anything less than an eastern conference appearance is a huge step back for Milwaukee. Getting booted from the playoffs by the guy you traded, after giving up on Melo, asking to show Capella out of town all so you could shoot a few more threes might be the end of both Morey and D’Antoni.
Mike could find a job in New Orleans and run that franchise into the ground, again, too! D’Antoni, that is. Morey might have a job in New York working for the Knicks if he’s lucky. Owners are going to look at him as having cost them a pretty penny but I’ll wager he still finds a gig from some woebegone franchise or another.
Budenholzer will probably end up latching on as a top assistant after he takes some time away. Or not, some top assistants always get jobs and he could be in line to slip into one of the slots vacated. Less pressure, more teaching, fits him.
