Giannis - 2X MVP - FMVP - DPOY - Store Grand Opening + Autographs 10/7

[VooDoo7]

Curiously timed.

We think Giannis wants us to make a win now move the team isn’t sure about?

The other angle I guess is maybe he’s worried about ownership getting cheap.

Yup.

Everyone knows what loyalty means to Giannis. This is just Giannis saying don't take advantage of that by just assuming I'll re-sign no matter what.

[tedbrogen]

One way to prove they are not cheap is trade for Dame and his giant contract…

[ReasonablySober]

The only reason to bring the Haslems into the fold is if you plan on spending a lot of money.

Saw the video of Giannis telling Bron he made the blueprint for everybody & figured leaving for Miami & LAL is a part of that.

Here's to the new kids making it, the core committing to win again & Jon making the right moves to round it out.

[BroncoBuck]

In the past I’ve been dubious about him leaving, but this one feels different. Not getting good vibes from that at all.

[Serge28]

Surprisingly candid framing on several points from Giannis there. Almost feels like something's been brewing inside him and just splashed out during the interview. He's usually much more reserved in phrasing macro stuff, but if he's had these thoughts for a while...

Maybe he's saying it to put more pressure on his management and teammates. Maybe he really just means that he wants that feeling of another championship more than anything else now, and if the Bucks pull any of the crap he's seen/heard of in the past, he's going to follow Lebron's blueprint cause "I got loyalty inside my DNA" is now being trumped by "I want that feeling of being a champion again."

People have been fooling themselves thinking Giannis would stay when all our core pieces are going to be done in a couple years, there has to be more of a plan besides blowing our wad so completely every year that there's not way to improve to the team besides praying some rando late 2nd rounder breaks out.

Speculation about speculation.

Cool.

Yup, and yet those of us saying that we need a plan to swap Jrue/Khris before its too late for younger players to pair with him get groupthinked to death on here that we're crazy for trying to figure out a way to do it. That's not to say its an easy task for a GM, its a heck of a needle to thread. Which is why so far he (and most teams) just go the blow their wad every year route until it's too late.

[jimmybones]

Yeah, not gonna lie, this tone feels different than anything I've seen from him before. ****

[Gianstoppable]

Giannis wants a big move. My guess is Dame

[MickeyDavis]

So much projecting here

[Mtsportsfan]

Love Giannis , but if wants us commit to winning , then its simple . Take less money ! Take less money so we can add players around him to get another chip !

[raferfenix]

Giannis could have chosen to praise Adrian Griffin and the Bucks for hiring his preferred coach.

But that’s not what his PR team shaped this article to be.

Instead he implies elements of the Bucks aren't sacrificing enough or going all out for another title. Maybe even talking about a rebuild.

[raferfenix]

If Giannis were pissed that the Bucks haven’t put in our best possible offer to get Dame he’d probably give an interview just like this one.

[Bodiroga13]

Trade him for Embiid and Maxey. If i am not mistaken, he really likes Nurse and Harden. No Thanasis but with Harden/Nurse/Morey and these lovable Phili fans.

This would be the biggest twist after THE SIXTH SENSE

[JEIS]

Maybe he and Kris, or an important player on the team butt heads last year or even this off season on working out/practicing. Maybe this is Giannis saying indirectly, get Dame. That he is taking the lack of preparation as not caring. Why should he make the sacrifices with his family and put in all the effort to be let down by his teammates not giving the same effort? Maybe the past two years teammates have been coasting?

[Daver]

[CharityStripe34]

Would be weird to declare anything about future contract. Not a big deal.
