shoulda just traded him already, it’s time to rebuild in Milwaukee
Been should have traded him
Playing professional is not only about the wins, but also about the losses. A disrespect to the paying costumer. If a player is available he should play. If he is able to play he should be healthy. If you should him down, his value won't go up. The other teams won't give you a good deal, when it comes to drafts. The other teams won't make again the mistakes that the Bucks and Knicks did 🧐
Should have traded him . Milwaukee made there bed already
Just sit out dog ain’t nothing to play for
He still want to play? Either lower his minutes or up the bench players minutes. Does he control the bucks rotation too?
Malika looks stressed and tired
Child support Luka for MVP
AJ Dybantsa going to the Bucks confirmed.
Bucks F’d this whole pack up lol
Shams doesn't have much credibility on anything Giannis-related.
Just tanking that all. Giannis is staying. All great players don't chase.
If I were him, I wouldn't allow them to steal a single game from my legacy. It is a business first, so maybe the Bucks don't need his permission. GA needs to be a better communicator. He's terrible and wishy washy when you listen to him. I think he needs to move on and let the fans know it aint his first choice but the Bucks Management is making his life to complicated to continue the partnership. I wouldn't demand going anywhere but I would let teams know I wont sign an extension unless I'm seeing a better fit. Then move on a play out the contract.
Should’ve just traded Giannis bruh they brought this on they self
I think his trade value is hurt more if he doesn't play.
It’s getting ugly they should’ve traded him
why does he want to play so bad for?
Danny got handed a cookie by Windy and couldn’t catch it
If Giannis plays then he plays went make a difference this year . Bucks are going nowhere with Rivers and the line up they have.
Giannis needs not to play Basketball again before season starts as it appeared he played and made all the games off season.
Rivers needs to go one way or the other and hire someone that has sense in bring a coach that can control a team!
Love to see Giannis back because showed we won a championship with him and a coach and a lineup that played together !
A very toxic relationship 😂
Giannis hasn’t looked good since like 8 games into the season. Watching him slow walk down the floor for $800k a night is not inspiring to watch. Fire doc rivers, trade Gianni’s , then let Haslam run things as Eden’s has proved he doesn’t know what he’s doing.
First realistic rational talk I've heard all year about this situation
This is Giannis' fault. I'm a Giannis fan. I'm pro-player, pro-union, anti-tanking and all of that. But Giannis kept tip-toeing around wanting to be traded which is why he is still on the Bucks. I dont blame the Bucks at all for wanting to protect him and his trade value from him wanting to play in meaningless games. Good for Milwaukee for using common sense since Giannis won't.
Giannis is a player over the hill anyway!! That’s his problem!! He is hard headed. Exactly why he has been hurt the last 2 out of 3 first rounds !! He is a range rover with 400,000 miles on it !!
