The Cleveland Browns introduced a new head coach, Todd Monken, earlier today. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, who is also a co-owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, spoke with media members following today’s introductory press conference and briefly addressed the prospect of the Bucks trading Giannis Antetokounmpo.

“Giannis is a top three, top four player in the world,” Haslam said. “He brought Milwaukee its first championship in 50 years several years ago, and he’s a really good person too. He’s no problem. He’s a great leader, tries hard.

“And I think Giannis and the Bucks — and I think this goes back before we were involved — have always worked closely to see what’s best for Giannis and what’s best for the Bucks, and we’ll continue to do so. “

While that doesn’t give fans much insight into which way the Bucks might be leaning 48 hours before the Feb. 5 trade deadline, Haslam was also asked a follow-up question:

What does a successful trade for Antetokounmpo look like, if there is one?

“That’s a question for (general manager) Jon Horst,” Haslam replied.
