Horst needs to be fired before he makes another negative trade
the only reason they won is cause bobby didnt play, if you dont understand that i cant help you
cut thanos, keep Nance
Giannis needs to heal-stop trying to bring him back
Yo, tell your franchise to ship Giannis ASAP. ship em to GSW. The relationship is over. Bucks toying with Giannis and Giannis not being clear enough he wants a trade. Dude is wasting his time and talent. Let him cook with Steph PLEEEEEASE. Bucks are about to fumble this one big time. dubs are offering 5frp and theyre backing out is insanity.
If GIannis keeps flip flopping his stance because it makes him look good. It doesnt. It makes him look like a little annoying princess. He needs to be upfront and clear. "I want to be traded before the deadline. I want to be traded to one of these teams. If you dont, I will pigeon hole this team and lower my value so you can only trade me to this one team" It's that simple.
Giannis’s next NBA contract should bar him from international play. He should focus on training and improving his health over the summers. He needs extensive work with sports medicine specialists to get a better understanding of his series of calf strains and how to limit them going forward (similar to what Christian Watson did to address repeated hamstring injuries). That just isn’t possible when his focus is international play. I understand his desire to represent Greece but I also see how availability is becoming his biggest shortcoming. If he could stay healthy that’s one thing. He just hasn’t shown he is able to do that.
Giannis stay with us, don't leave the Milwaukee Bucks
Kyle Kuzma Played A lot of point forward Let’s Talk about that offense ran through him Great W and showed leadership him and Ryan and that charge Kuz Took was very key from Zion saved Bucks talk about the defense bro trying to single him out like he didn’t play Good every night not gone be your night on offense but what about play making and defense
Stop trying to win games. Tank harder.
talk about Middleton got trade for Anthony Davis really .just imagine what the bucks can get for Gianni's and kuz out outside of Gianni's kuzma is the best player on the bucks just go head and call it what it is because of his skill set it's just the role he's playing right now .
Yeah just who the Buck's need Draymond Green!!😂😂
y'all on this podcast is crazy thinking the bucks can't get much for kuz .look the bucks not just going to give him away I have inside knowledge he want be traded today u can book that bucks fans .this have great skill s
the cavaliers just traded Lonzo ball for 2 second round picks .now what u think the bucks can get for kuzma these podcast know nothing about basketball they just be wishing send kuz to the Spurs and watch how he plays he will ball out I'm telling u
GA doesn't know what he wants and the implications of that ,if he wants to win and compete he must request a trade as the Bucks can only do so much to stay in contention .if he loves the Bucks despite everything then no more talk of leaving
Michael Porter
People are like the Bucks need to tank (intentionally lose games). I think tanking is so weak and unethical. Giannis is like TANK WHAT?🤣🤣.
TANKING IS SO WEAK AND UNETHICAL.
Giannis is not the issue. In fact, Giannis doesn't even want to move. I think it's so clear that Giannis just wants to team to improve. Giannis wanting the team to improve is now "Giannis doesn't wanna be in Milwaukee". Embiid, Jokic and Giannis all came into the league at the same time but Embiid and Jokic can miss games and their teams can still win.
So basically Giannis wanting to win is now a crime. Since when? I mean Harden, KD and Tatum all have gotten what they've wanted. Why not Giannis?
It's not Giannis' job to improve the roster.
Did this Frank guy just credit Frank mazula for the Celtics culture 😂 the same Celtics team that went to the finals with ume and conference finals. Please give me someone that actually knows ball
FIRE DOC RIVERS
I want Murphy in this team! Franks mic was not sounding great on this one.
Ja Morant
Frank Madden was doing his hardest not to give KPj credit what a complete tool
Why does this dude hate KPJ so much? Jeez dude it’s honestly weird
