The Holbrook, Arizona native is expected to make at least eight figures per the same sources.
Budenholzer coaced the Milwaukee Bucks to the NBA championship in 2021, beating Phoenix.
Many view him as a “balanced” coach when it comes to offensive and defensive schemes.
Now the coach is figured out.
None of this matter if the roster isn’t adjusted in more ways than one…
