The Bucks are about to become the Cleveland Browns of the NBA thanks to Jimmy Haslam, and Giannis knows it. Holiday and Lopez are probably retiring after this year, Middleton and PC are declining, Budenholzer is gone, Horst will probably be gone at the end of the year, and they have no picks for 5 years plus no top prospects. They're stuck, and trading Giannis may be the only way they get any value in the next few years. My conclusion is that if he's getting traded, it's going to be to Golden State. Why? Because San Francisco is identical to Milwaukee yet has a higher population, he gets to play with Steph Curry, and they have a state-of-the-art arena and training.
Play it simple Bucks need player like Bojan Bogdanovic. They already tried to add him at trade deadline. Scorer, elite shooter, moves without ball, makes good decisions.
Giannis needs to get better at his free throws AND needs a consistent shot he can hit in the lane. Maybe a little turn around hook, IDK what other shot he could develop in such a short time when franky his touch is pretty bad. He missed too many easy shots in the lane this post-season though, injury aside. I also had them in the finals.
Giannis is way too one-dimensional, to be honest. When your team is failing you, you gotta get better. LeBron was a freak athlete and had one of the best basketball IQs of all time even as a rookie, but he developed a lot of skills through working with Hakeem to carry his garbage teams. The Bucks are an above-500 team without Giannis, and he’s just not elevating them that much anymore. The league has caught on to his skills. He needs to develop a post game, learn how to dribble (although if you get away with every travel like he does, it doesn’t matter) and work on his playmaking. If he learns how to play more like Jokić, it will not only help the team overall but will also prolong his career. The way he plays means he’s more likely to get injured and he’s putting more wear on his body than he should be. He just had a surgery this summer that has destroyed other NBA players’ careers.
I’m not a Giannis hater, I think he’s a good player and nigh unstoppable at times. But he’s doing himself, and his franchise, a disservice by refusing to pick up new skills. LeBron put his head down, put aside his ego, and worked to improve the aspects of the game he was mediocre at. Giannis can do the same, and even if it’s not to the same extent as LeBron’s improvements, anything is better than missing free throws regularly. If he can be a perennial DPOY contender who learns how to shoot free throws and play less… acrobatically, he will improve the Bucks as a whole.
The Bucks' perimeter defense has been bad in every postseason, even when they won. Basically anyone that isn't guarded by Jrue can score whenever they want.
This might be a personnel problem, or it might have been a coaching problem. After all, we did see players who were performing well suddenly get benched in the playoffs two years in a row.
At the 2024 NBA draft, the Bucks will have 3 1st round picks that they could trade. I think that's when they make a swing for a player, they just don't have the ammo to do it before then
Most overrated player in the NBA and a crap franchise in a crap, racist, dirty city.
Mr. Run and Dunk needs to hold himself accountable for being a liability to his team since teams can foul him and Hack A Giannis and get themselves back in the game. They lost to a play in team and it is Giannis fault, the one game Bucks won was one Giannis did not even play. And i dont wanna hear any injury excuse because Bucks and Suns made finals playing only injured teams, they dodged all the elite teams that year, which is why neither teams have sniffed a Finals since.
The only reason I will always root against Giannis, because every time he succeeds he is going to be named best player in the world, which he never actually was. He run through injury plagued teams and a team who never in their three year run have beat a complete healthy team in playoffs. Good player, but not that good but let's see how they play under Griffin, under Bud they looked stupid some times. As Barkley once said "the stupidest team which will win a title". So it happened.
I’m glad he’s being proactive in his career and prioritizing winning before getting paid because if you’re a good player you’ll get paid regardless. But also he needs to take some accountability for this part in the team losing in the playoffs the last two years. Him being afraid to have the ball in his hands at the end of the game is alarming. The year before that he didn’t play well although KM was injured didn’t help. He needs to develop a jumper to take his team and game to the next level. I don’t think he’ll get “help” by certain players/teams getting injured and collapsing. He’s gotta get mentally tougher and round out his offensive game. Bucks gotta make some moves and get this team younger and add more scoring , mainly 3pt shooting.
If the Bucks find a way to pry Alex Caruso out of Chicago they would be set, there would not be a better defensive and more versatile backcourt but the bulls doesn't seem to like the idea of rebuilding so maybe don't
Jrue owned Marcus smart in the 2022 playoffs proving the best perimeter defender. soo that's what everyone said this year. Jimmy B owned him in the playoffs this year lol… and I personally think Jimmy is the best perimeter defender in the world. I mean he's insane at it. Thats general consensus right? He was like 3rd in steals for regular season

In other words: "get me Dame Lillard"
He did say he might play for the bulls some day… its all coming together
dont want them to win if greyson allen is on the team lol

I’m a diehard Celtics fan… but lets be honest the Celtics are under the most pressure in the East.

you as a celtics fans should be more scared of the Heat than the Bucks, seeing as you guys are 1-2 against them in the post season
Giannis to the Mavs.

In my dream world I would love if the bucks traded for Lavine somehow
Trade Giannis to the Celtics already
The Heat with Lillard will win. 🏆

This might be the beginning of a not so loyal version of Giannis.

The Bucks could sign Trey Burke as a backup PG or something
UNDER PRESSURE bumbudadum dumdumdum
Middleton is not and will not be healthy.
Why do you only use one still photo. Why not multiple or video

Real leadership
Malik Beasley can straight up get it done from 3. If he can be consistent in the catch and shoot he could end up being a staple piece in this lineup.
one HUGE thing to keep in mind is that on draft day next year, the Bucks will be able to trade 3 future firsts
Congrats on 250K subs! I'm trying to get there!
