Although the contract he signed with the Milwaukee Bucks gave their front office the chance to opt out of a potential nightmare, the expectation was always that Amir Coffey would stick around because of the 40-percent three-point season he just produced for the LA Clippers (2024-25). However, this is Coffey’s first time in a new city, and his start has indicated a fall-off that is beyond repair.
Furthermore, Doc Rivers has tried to play Coffey with optimism. He clearly had faith in the veteran wing to produce off the bench and maybe even one day start, helping Giannis Antetokounmpo on both sides of the ball.
