I’m happy for Durbin because, realistically, he was treated a little unfairly with the Lakers, as are most head coaches who have to work with LeBron James.
But when it comes to how Bucks fans feel about it, they aren’t too happy.

Personally, I’m enjoying that after the Damian Lillard summer of 2023… just haven’t gotten over it yet.
