Dear Giannis,
Nobody can deny what you have given for the team and the city
However, as someone who is fully aware of your struggles (as a fellow greek), nobody can deny what the city and the organisation have provided to you and your family.
You brought a chip, and EVERYONE will be forever grateful for it.
And that's why the organisation (to the best of my knowledge) has done everything to keep you and support your effort to get another ring.
Yes, not all the moves worked out, but Dame is the greatest example that even big moves don't always bring results.
By doing such, they have put the next decade at least on mortgage to keep you there.
When you re gone, the whole organisation will lose value, let alone the city.
You will still be one of the greatest, you ll be wealthy etc etc…
So, for the sake of God, leave in dignity and don't ruin the organisation or your reputation in the process.
giannis to houston , (best to go west) 2 times a year Bucks see him. Sengon comes to Milwaukee withdraft picks. (Bucks continue to playoffs again)
Five years ago the guy carried this (mediocre at best) team to a chip after 50 freaking years and today he's not wanted there not as a player or as a presense in general…
That's the unfotunate world we're living in today folks, fast news, short videos and even shorter memory spans…
• Giannis scores
• The team still loses
• His scoring isn’t bending defenses or creating advantages anymore
This is the classic “box score ≠ impact” problem.
—
🧱 2. Defenses don’t move for him anymore
Teams literally stand on X, Why?
Because:
• He has no mid‑range
• No pull‑up
• No post fade
• No reliable free throws
• No threat outside 5 feet
So defenses just park bodies in the paint, stay home on shooters, and wait for him to barrel in.
Giannis better reinvent himself, because Giannis is a break even little impact player.
nice going glenn rivers. may be the lowerst point of that dudes coaching career. drove our franchise star right out
Unprofessional. Trade him already. We have had enough.
Maybe LeBron will come here 😂 . This city takin shots from left n right. We’re about to enter a dark time in Milwaukee
Bucks should prohibit his jersey retirement.
You’ve never seen a player do that before. He’s essentially requesting the league take away the Bucks’ lottery pick cos they don’t wanna play him the last few games when he keeps gettin injured n they may have to trade him.
Giannis must be on copious amountsa steroids cos the geezer is off his head, let’s be real.
That boy is CONFUSED and disrespectful beyond belief. Absolute ego maniac, pure narcissist.
He shouldn’t be nowhere near this franchise’s rafters.
Tryna harm the Bucks’ future like that is outrageous. Never seen nothin like it.
Many players have been shut down in recent years like Steph, Embiid, Wemby…
He’s actin like he’s the only player “of his calibre” to get shut down.
He is mental. Clean off his nut like.
