  1. Would you trade Giannis for this years number one pick to get Flagg and draft picks or would trade Giannis to where he wants to be traded?

  2. If they do not go get Trae Young he is gone simple as that. He is sending a message to the Org and seeing if they really want him or not. He is not sitting around and waiting a year for Dame to come back in 2 years they need to make a move. I wish it would of been different but it has to be done

  3. Giannis need to look at Dallas and or Stay in the East go to the Magic Draft a great PG magic like Ace Bailey or something and Giannis go stay in the East and maybe Warriors or trade Dame for Kyrie in Milwaukee

  4. Hello folks! Giannis is "open" to exploring trade options. This pod looks like prerecorded .

  5. It's over guys, giannis is already exploring options outside the team. Time to except reality.

  6. Hot take.. Spurs will include the 2nd overall pick in a trade package to the bucks for Giannis

  7. Don't blame Giannis if he wants out…Middleton and Jrew after the Suns Final they going to China to play with National Team in World Championship 2021…Khris is never return the same…until Today 2025…I blame Khris Number 2 was always injured…Giannis is the First Player in History with over 200pts,100reb,50ast in 7 game series…2022 vs Boston

  8. Giannis is not going anywhere this year. Just doesn't make sense to trade him with 2 years remaining on his contract. If he requests out, he gets traded at the trade deadline at the earliest if the plan going into this season falls on its face. Develop the young talent & rebuild the next championship core with Giannis.

  9. If he wants to leave, let him. I'm okay with it. We have the worst GM in sports, but even he cannot screw up all five of the first round picks we would get for giannis.

  10. GIANNIS CAN WIN RIGHT WHERE HE IS AT!! HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE TO COME ON HERE AND SAY THE KEY IS MIKE MALONE!! MIKE MALONE! MIKE MALONE!! MIKE MALONE!! HE IS THE FIRST DOMINO THAT MUST FALL!! THEN BRING IN GOOD VETERANS WHO SUPPORT GIANNIS!! THE PISTONS FREE AGENTS AND GIVING RUSSELL WESTBROOK A LOOK!! THIS TEAM NEEDS A CLEAR DIRECTION!! YOU LOOK AT THE EAST GIANNIS CAN STILL WIN WITH THE BUCKS!!

  11. Everyone going wild over Shams reporting something that isn’t a quote and has zero sources….. imma wait until I hear it from the champ himself
