Phoenix Suns Fans Are MORE Obsessed With Giannis Than The Playoffs 👀
After a cryptic tweet from Giannis Antetokounmpo mentioning *Phoenix*, Suns fans have been QUICK to connect the dots… but is there actually anything there? Or is this just another case of wishful thinking taking over during a critical playoff moment?
In this episode, we break down:
– The Giannis tweet that sparked the frenzy
– Why Phoenix Suns fans are clinging to the idea 👀
– Whether there’s ANY real chance of a Giannis-to-Phoenix move
– And most importantly… why this distraction takes away from the enjoyment of playoffs themselves
With the postseason here, should the focus be on Devin Booker and the Suns making a run… or dreaming about landing a superstar like Giannis?
Let’s separate FACT from FICTION.

Are Suns fans right to dream big… or losing focus at the worst time?

Bucks will want draft picks/ yong players… Only got 2031 1st round pick, Dunn, Green, Oso, and Maluach as trade bait… I say go for it!!!… Keep Fleming, and Maluach if you can though… Throw in Allen in the trade…
Been calling it. It has to be Green or Booker as the main pieces and keep the rookies.
Saul was cheering like crazy when the word came out that the Suns had acquired Brad Beal, lol
Am I wrong for not wanting Giannis? This guy single handedly ripped our hearts out in the finals. Obviously he’s an amazing player but I just don’t want HIM responsible for giving us a finals run. Not to mention how much we’d have to dismantle the team to get him here too
There playoffs? They suck! Why would they care about the Playoffs this year? 😂😅 There smart!!
Trade him for booker
The general vibe I got through most of this season, after it was clear we were probably good enough to make the play offs but probably not nearly good enough to beat OKC (particularly after the spanking they put on us in that mid season tournament) was that if we could make the play offs, and avoid OKC, maybe we could make some noise, just needed a team like the Spurs to upset them. Not that we were a sure thing to upset the spurs, but like, a team like them felt possible for us to upset, while the Thunder match up so poorly for us, and are just frankly so much better, we'd be lucky to not get swept if we faced them in the play offs.
Then we lost the 7th seed in the play in and for most fans I think the post season hopes ended with that game. Not because we didn't think we could beat the warriors, but because the road now had to go through the one team we couldn't realistically beat 4 times in 7 games with out one, maybe two, major injuries to OKC.
So yeah, I'm still happy to be here, to get the young kids some play off experience and not give a lottery pick to some one else and worry this will be the year we finally move up. But lets be clear, its the offseason. We're not winning the series, we're learning and growing from it (hopefully), and looking toward next year and beyond.
As an aside, I do think we'd look MUCH more competitive in this series if we had a healthy mark williams, not having him (or having him come back but play injured) is what truly doomed this series in my mind.
He's not coming to Phx. 😂
33:33
I needed this laugh 😂
But you do know flex and talk to flex and even flex has hinted at giannis being a target and having mutual interest. But I guess you just decide to take the neutral route huh espo 😂
That’s a big problem. why worry about a dude that’s not even in the playoffs let alone play in please stop this silly behavior.
lmao not coming here
I think you missed it by thinking book will be in phoenix with giannis. Book for giannis
Trade Book for Giannis, Green is younger and more talented plus Books contract is crazy and he under performs. I think he makes more than Giannis actually and with it being Booker going out the Bucks would feel more validated and take less in return. Maybe a pick of two and a player
ones more realistic
if he capitalized Phoenix, I'd be more excited, but he didn't
It doesn’t have to be now, but at some point if we actually have an opportunity to get a superstar in the valley we need to. It’s incredibly hard to win a championship without a superstar.
Huge suns fan, haven’t heard anyone talk about Giannis.
This isn't exactly out of the blue. I currently live in Wisconsin (don't ask) and the rumor mill here has been saying for a few weeks that Giannis' first choice is NYC but his second choice is to 'go play with Devin Booker'. I'm not saying a trade will happen or that the Suns are even interested. Just sayin' what I've heard from Bucks fans here.
No we aren't!
Suns rise in Arizona
Espo this is where you are wrong. It’s not the same as trading for KD. Giannis plays defense KD doesn’t play team defense. It would be very very different this time around. If you can get Gianni’s you do it. You move green, mark Williams, Dunn, Grayson, and if you have to move Fleming
Leaves Colin at point, book at the 2, start brooks at 3, Giannis at 4, ohso or man man starts at the 5. Still have Royce bouyay, brea, and whoever else we can add
So are we about to trade twins for an aging superstar again?
