Watch this tailspin into Giannis being livid and wanting out. Talk about peak Bucks type **** happening.

I for one would like to wish us all good luck with our sky-high expectations for immediate and significant change. There's no doubt in my mind that all of our wildest basketball dreams are about to be totally and completely fulfilled, without exception. Everything we've ever wanted but were denied is ours now and forever. May God have mercy on our souls.

I'm 99% sure that Kidd is lying despite having no faith in the ownership not being snakes. It would be full blown incompetence to tell Giannis before Kidd.

Hm..if true this is kind of concerning. Obviously, no clue how accurate this actually is.

Upcoming trade demand by Giannis. If this happens it will be the most Monty Python thing in the history of the game.

I really hope Jabari doesn't face any backlash from this. Kidd had a similarly tumultuous relationship with Larry Sanders and Sanders was exiled while Kidd remained. If it was between Jabari and Kidd, I'm glad they chose Jabari.

Take all quotes from Kidd with a grain of salt, guys. This is what he does. He sews discontent in order to preserve his own image. A good person doesn't leak a private convo with Giannis.

I'm surprised at how absolutely blind to the quality of coaching the players seem to be. Has no one on our team ever watched a functional team run an offense?

I'll take that with a grain of salt. Kidd knows how to sew discontent.


These kinds of things should always be taken with a grain of salt. Even if it's basically true or essentially true, that doesn't mean it isn't just an emotional reaction that Giannis will very soon get over. It could be technically true, but the real meaning (now and longterm) of it isn't really known to us.

As people on the GB pointed out, a lot of Warriors (including Curry) we're very upset by the Mark Jackson firing.

Exactly. That's some bush league stuff from Kidd. How utterly surprising. Just grow up and show some professionalism for a change. What an a@@.

Disagree on that one. Think the organization needs to consult Giannis before they did this.

I'm guessing though whatever Kidd is relaying as to his conversation with Giannis is going to be self serving. People were afraid of Vin Diesel. Giannis is still only 23. He's not going to be calling Kidd and telling him he sucked and should have been fired.

Exactly what I was thinking. Would be such a Bucks thing to happen.
