Giannis Thread - 13th Season with the Bucks

Giannis on media day: “Of course, yes. Guys, every summer, there's truth to every report."
I took that mean his team has a middle-man that's leaking to Shams.

Shams has been relentless on this all summer. And it turns out his info was correct

I still don't think the move to Greece has anything to do with his future NBA plans, unless it's just looking forward to retirement. If it had something to do with him thinking his time in Milwaukee was coming to an end in the next year why not just wait or move them to New York now? Optics? He's moving his family 16 hours away instead of 3 hours away just to be sneaky?

I mentioned this earlier, Giannis holds the leverage, the more each day passes. If he doesn't want a bidding war, there won't be one. He wants championships which mean his 'new team' needs to 'not lose the trade'. The alternative is holding on to him until his contract expires, and that can be negative in how that plays out.

The alternative is to win and just keep him.

We have a fun team. I wish ESPN would let us enjoy it.

We can, we just have to decide they dont matter
