I could certainly see the Bucks doing some kind of deal, if not more than one, before the Feb. 6 deadline. But in terms of the big stuff that comes with their team’s calculus — Giannis, Dame, Doc and Khris — I don’t see anything changing. For those asking about whether Rivers could be on the hot seat, let’s not forget the Bucks paid him approximately $40 million on a three-and-a-half-year deal less than a year ago. What’s more, Horst is facing pressure because of how these past few seasons have gone, and league sources are skeptical he’d be given the leeway to make another coaching change this soon.

What does the start of this year feel like for you compared to last year? It’s your second year versus your first, and the expectations have obviously changed. Darko Rajakovic: That’s really good perspective. Really good question, because last year we had some new faces to the organization. In the summer losing Fred VanVleet, adding Dennis Schröder, having some of the guys that were here for a longer time. New coach, getting players used to that system. It was really trying to find a balance of how to move the needle offensively with the ball movement, playing together, while at the same time competing and trying to win. We entered the season with the mission to really compete for the playoffs. And then when everything started changing, when we decided to go into the rebuild, the mentality changed.

Darko Rajakovic: This year the focus is very clear. We need to develop young guys. We need to develop our roster. The main thing, the most important thing, is being dedicated to the process of the development — individually and as a team. And this year for us, process has to be more important than the outcome of some of those games. That’s not saying that you’re not competing. That’s not saying that we don’t want to win. I think it’s completely opposite. As you can see, we are undermanned, but we are really competing and staying in all of those games against really good teams.

After the Sacramento game, one of your players came to speak to the media and said, ‘Darko just said there are no moral victories.’ But you watch how the team’s playing, to be as competitive as you’re being in the circumstances, and they feel like moral victories. So how do you message that to your players? Darko Rajakovic: I want my players to be focused one game at a time, not to worry about the previous game, not to worry about the next game. I want my players to be worried (about and) take advantage of every situation and every possession that we have offensively and defensively. And (I want them) to compete at the highest possible level and with the idea and ambition to walk into every game with the confidence that we are going to compete and do everything we can to win. If we win, it’s awesome. If we don’t win, then it has to be a learning opportunity for us, and we have to continue grinding for more. I will never allow our guys to go into games and just not worry about winning because winning is so important. We’ve got to learn what it takes to compete in those 36 minutes, to extend to 40 minutes, 40 to become 45 until we start putting full 48-minute games (together).
