Giannis soft launches his future trade request
- Thread starter THE 101
- Start date
He asked his wife (American) if she wanted Milwaukee or Athens and she chose Athens. It's weird a little bit playing for their national team and moving there completely when you were hated there growing up, but on the other hand those days are over I guess. More than likely gets royalty treatment everywhere he goes, racists gotta sit with their heads down. Nothing to do with ball but I hope more Americans get the chance to and choose to leave, I'm one.
Giannis clearly wants out but knows there's pride. Also knows he's ran his mouth about other players packing up when it got rough, so he keeps dipping one to in and out of the water. Reminds of Dwight Howard when he wouldn't be upfront to Orlando, then one day got some balls and started acting different and demanded to the Nets, only to get a change of heart at the trade deadline "to try and make it work" in the playoffs. Then got shipped to LA 2-3 months after. Giannis has only hurt himself delaying this shyt
Given the state of this country, I don't blame him...

Oh, totally. But golden dawn was a thing until recently and fascism in Europe is really bad as well.
They've been shytty at drafting and player development. That's not on him.I’ve said it before on this situation…the Bucks have made every move Giannis has wanted. They got the players he wanted and gave contracts to the ones he wanted too. Now you bs like this
Sometimes a GM has gotta say fukk what the star wants…that player doesn’t fit with the team.
Trading five second round picks for Jae Crowder.
Trading a 2nd round pick for a half season rental of Patrick Beverly
Trading Donte for Ibaka who they didn't even bother to use.
Those are types of moves that have set them back.

the idea of him going to the knicks is laughable. the bucks aren't trying to take back HUGE contracts of bridges or OG. plus the knicks blew all their draft capital on the mikeal bridges trade.
milwaukee buying out dame was literally one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen.

He said I want to see what Kuzma and Myles Turner give me..this is soft launching his trade lol. He and his group already discussed with Knicks, now he's doing these quotes. He should have honestly moved on this summer, you won a championship there, the fans won't hate you

You can say that for almost the entirety of the league.
It seems he just wants a ready-made situation with all the right pieces like he’s had before (which I don’t begrudge him), along with the fact he sees other teams getting stronger and the team he’s on can’t even get out of the 1st round. As the homie said on the previous page, the Bucks have accommodated all the moves he wanted and it still isn’t enough for him.
All of this is just unnecessary drama that he undoubtedly has played a part in. He should’ve just demanded to get up out of there, instead I can see a scenario where his passive aggressiveness will end up leaking into his play and this shyt will carry on for at least another season.
Of course we can, but how many of those teams have a top 3 player in their prime? You can afford to whiff on those types of things when you don't have aspirations or those types of players.
This problem is going to solve itself by next offseason when Giannis theoretically accepts or turns down the extension that the Bucks offer.

They were scrambling to get pieces to help improve the team and put out fires before they arose (like potentially losing Donte for nothing). No franchise bats at a thousand. Even if they didn’t make those moves, the Bucks would still find themselves in this predicament because the main pieces that helped them win a chip were inevitably going to be moved on. Trading for the likes of Crowder and Pat Bev aren’t the reason they’ve struggled to rekindle what they had in 2021.
Meanwhile, Giannis played a part in both Coach Bud and Griffin getting fired and then taking on Doc; Jrue getting traded for Dame; then getting rid of Middleton for Kuzma.
He’s not blameless in the position Milwaukee finds themselves in.
Regardless of that, the team isn’t even that bad. They’ve got more than enough depth to be competitive in the East.
That’s mainly due to the injuries of everyone else around them and not due to the talent themselves.
Let’s be realistic a lineup is of Giannis/Turner/Kuzma/KPJ/GTG isn’t striking fear in any teams heart
