Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer has been a lightning rod for criticism for most of his tenure in Milwaukee, but he led the Bucks to a championship and was rewarded with a three-year contract extension last week. Adam McGee and Ti Windisch broke down Bud's tenure, the narratives around him, and why keeping him was a no-brainer -- and also why three years made the most sense for Budenholzer in particular. Then they examined the Bucks roster, especially the differences between this group and the one that just won a championship, and shared thoughts on what, if any, needs Milwaukee still has heading into the season. They added a bit about the Los Angeles Lakers and the Western Conference at the end as Rajon Rondo reportedly decided to sign with the Lakers during the pod.
