Giannis wants to win championships. He wants to be loyal to the Bucks, but is probably realizing that it’s gonna be hard af the way the aprons is set up going forward. It really shined a light on the savvy GMs, and exposed all the trash ones and this is just the very beginning. Jon Hurst got them a chip, but ever since then it’s been shytty move after shytty move. Ultimately it’s up to Giannis to quit all the jab steppin and request the trade or sit down and just play the game .
He got them Dame :dahell:. Not his fault that him and Giannis never finished a series together. They literally choked against the Heat and the Celtics if we being honest. I am all for blaming GMs but players got actually play and get the job done when they do.
I don't think he wants to be loyal. Being loyal is just letting them build a team naturally around them. Giannis has completely drained them of every basketball resource they have.
As they should be :dahell:. You got a player like Giannis, no stone should be left unturned...you should be fully depleted. Thats what is expected out of him. If a superatar player has to put pressure on you to go for it then you aint shyt and dont deserve loyalty.

You right :hubie: Glen Rivers deserves blame too for being :flabbynsick: I think any other coach could’ve made them work better together than he did

He aint hire himself or force the dude that was competing with Boston for the 1 seed out. And I say this as a Giannis fan.

True but the whole team forced Griffin out, can’t just blame Giannis for that. Nor did I think he specifically told them to grab Glen, even if he did sign off on it. And if he did then shame on him.

Bucks have done more than enough to surround him with talent. There’s only so much you can (especially with the new CBA rules) when you have a good team already. They won’t be bad enough to get high draft picks. At this point he needs to stop pump faking and request a trade.

fukk the whole team if Giannis said "he stays" then he stays. Same thing if Giannis says "anybody but the inventor of the 3-1" collapse then he isnt there.

Giannis is within his rights to throe his weight around. Gotta actually play and deliver though.

This dude has no idea how good he has it- he practically own an entire franchise- you think you can win every year? You went from nothing to an NBA champion and wanna blow it all up to appease the loser critics in the media and dweebs online in hypothetical “legacy” debates? You not catching Mike so just let it go and enjoy the fruits of your labour YOU BROUGHT A CHAMPIONSHIP TO THE TEAM THAT DRAFTED YOU AS A FRANCHISE PLAYER- you are a fir set ballot hall of famer- you have had a successful career.

I’m not gonna blame him pressing for better players and coaching but you did get rid of Adrian Griffin before he could get his feet wet and pushed for Dame, that’s on you- just chill out and let them work

Sad. That’s good enough for top 6 and potential top four seed in the East.
:mjlol:
Cavs and Knicks are the only solid teams. Magic should be a 3 seed. Atlanta is a wild card.
:sas2:
Giannis can power them to top four easily with that shytty line up. Goes to show you how bad things are.
:sas1:
He’s best where he is at honestly. The East is weak if he wants rings. He isn’t getting to the Knicks. Would the Cavs do a Mobley for Giannis?

The problem for the Bucks and people don’t mention this, but their resources were already tapped and got fukked over even more by the new CBA. Quite a few teams did as it was too late to pivot or move differently once it was announced.

Ask a lot of those teams would have made different moves or not traded away picks so easily if they knew the changes that were coming and they’d say yes.

It was essentially the end of his tenure there and only now just a matter of when he’ll be moved.

When Lebron did it for his son cacs and c00ns were outraged and spent all of last season talking about it and are still taking about it right now :mjpls:

But since Giannis is a affable nigerian c00n who identifies as greek and constantly runs to a white billionaire like he's his daddy nobody bats an eye about how he extorts a team into paying his brother close to 2 million dollars every year to do absolutely nothing, to the point that he had a head coach who questioned it fired while they had a top 5 record in the conference :mjpls:
