Nepotism is wild
I'm all for it. Lets get Kostas too. Giannis is never leaving!
I love their vibes
AJJ has actually shown much more maturity in his game in these few preseason games. Gotta give him that.
Trade these three brothers in one package.
Lol who's next in his fam to join the team?
Uncle?
Cousin?
Cousins cousin?
This actually pisses me off when there is a whole heap of guys that have been fighting for these last few spots and actually deserve it
17:05 Chris Livingston for Prez
I could see Giannis retiring early from the NBA, going to own his own team in Europe, and play a few years
I mean if he wants a winner maybe they should have said no and this was a test and they failed?
both his brothers can play in the G-league, maybe Kostas over Sims, but dont need to loss boyee over these stiffs
Frank never talk any positive stuff about KPJ.
If anyone still wants to say Giannis is going somewhere else then lay off the booze! Also have they thought of signing Giannis's mom to a 2way deal?
I can't believe anyone actually has a problem with this. Alex is a professional basketball player and if it means the Bucks keep Giannis it's worth it. This 2-way spot is not more important than keeping GA during his prime years. This signing does not impact the roster in a negative way.
He has to let this family thing go. He says he wants to win… But we are giving up potentially 2 roster spots to people who aren’t going to making an impact in the court. I don’t think we can afford to do that
Edit: This is bad for the immediate team and for the bucks if Giannis doesn’t stay next year.
Kostas wasn't at Olympiacos last year
Signing another trash brother.
i would have understood Kostas but this shows how desperate they are to keep GA
this really pushes Giannas down on all time great list. His whining is outta control and the selfishness is outta control.
This is getting embarrassing for the Bucks! 🤦🏽♂️
Giannis next is going to ask for 25% ownership of the Bucks + signing his mother Veronica to a management position 😅😅
That should’ve been Cormac Ryan’s Two-Way spot.
We are going to get the Harris of six years ago 🙌 😉
Also, I think people forget that Kuzma played pretty damn well before the playoffs last ssn. As long as he’s consistent, he’s a solid player
Kpj is being undersold. Hes been out there doing point guard stuff even without giannis to help. Hes super chaotic and herky jerky–it messes with the opponent and creates an advantage. His midrange is fantastic. We need that–why are you acting like that's a negative Frank?
You're worried about his playmaking but he's consistently creating opportunities for others and getting that assist stat up.
Defensively, giannis was bad vs the bulls because he was clearly gassed and "out of shape" even though that seems nuts. Giannis clearly doesn't know his spots or role in the defense and that's a result of bailing out of training camp. In time, he'll learn his role as well.
The best thing that can happen to Ajax is to be cut by this team..he will be picked up right away maybe by a contending team that appreciate good defense effort and athleticism.
Livingston has potential. AJAX is athletic and can play D and somebody will pick him up is Bucks cut. Smith at least has potential and youth. I see no way Harris helps Bucks but he is apparently a favor to an agent. Coffey is below average and unlikely to get better.
Unrelated but Justin’s shoe collection is elite🔥
with a TW contract you add 20 % to keep giannis more. Good deal .
I can’t understand why yall think Giannis is staying if anything this jus shows he’s trying to make sure his brothers are straight before he leaves lol he just moved his wife and kids to Greece Giannis is gone and soon
u guys lov AJ at 3 …. guess what guys he is going to get burned EVERY GAME … no height
justin would lov kuzma to g league
I dont have a problem. If it makes giannis play like a monster.
