Milwaukee Bucks general manager Jon Horst steered his wife and two children on the drive home from a family wedding in Northern Wisconsin on Sunday, a three-hour ride amid the surround sound of a transcendent trade. Mia slept, the kids immersed themselves in tablets and a long call with Portland Trail Blazers GM Joe Cronin delivered Horst what he had been hoping to hear: A growing conviction that the Blazers' best deal for Damian Lillard belonged with the Bucks.
Horst dropped his family at home around 8 p.m. and drove directly to his office at the team's practice facility.
