Steph Curry and Steve Kerr are excited about the Dennis Schröder trade. The Milwaukee Bucks also won the NBA Cup. All news in the update.
Bucks win League Cup
The Milwaukee Bucks confidently won the NBA Cup in Las Vegas. The final between the Bucks and the Oklahoma City Thunder was a demonstration of the strength of Giannis’ team. In the 97:81 win, the 2021 champion shone mainly thanks to a strong performance from his superstars Lillard and Antetokounmpo.
“It feels great. This is just great for our team,” said Giannis after the win. “I’m proud of this team,” he added. Winning the NBA Cup not only means prize money of almost $500,000 for each player, but also a boost in motivation for the criticized Bucks. There was always talk of a possible trade for the Bucks superstars. The final victory should silence these voices for the time being.
How valuable the 2.11 meter tall superstar is for the Bucks is shown by his performance throughout the tournament. For this he was also named “Most Valuable Player”.

Popovich plant Comeback
Coaching legend Gregg Popovich wants to return to the sidelines after a stroke. Quitting is not an option for the 75-year-old. “No one is more excited to see me back on the bench than the talented people who have guided my rehabilitation process,” he said in a statement.
“It was an unexpected six weeks for my family and me,” explained Popovic. It was a time that was “really overwhelming”. A big thank you goes to his family, who particularly supported him during this time.
Since the incident on November 2nd, assistant Mitch Johnson has had to step in as interim coach of the San Antonio Spurs. He managed a positive result in 21 games and bridged the time that the coaching legend needed.
Warriors celebrate Schröder’s new signing
Warriors coach Steve Kerr and star Stephen Curry have spoken very positively about Dennis Schröder’s move from the Brooklyn Nets to the Golden State Warriors. “I told Dennis he kicked my ass on three different continents,”
Just think of the World Cup semi-final between Germany and the USA, when Schröder and Coach faced each other – with the better end for the German national team. He also referred to the 2023 NBA playoffs, when the point guard with the Los Angeles Lakers eliminated Kerr’s Warriors in the second round. “He was brilliant there,” he praised the German superstar.
Curry is also happy about the support from the backcourt. “He gives us everything we need. “I’m thrilled to be playing with him now,” said the 36-year-old. The Warriors coach offers the newcomer the prospect of starting together with Curry. Above all, he should take over the important minutes when Curry is not on the field. The ability to create is particularly valuable in these moments.
