Giannis Thread - 13th Season with the Bucks

That's not credible, but Jim O is about their prior meeting. So he'd have already committed. And this upcoming meeting, which doesn't seem urgent, is to discuss how they go fw from here I suppose. Like it's to ask who Giannis wants the Bucks to go after/keep & how he can help.

If Giannis stays, it will be kind of funny and sad how much more the media will disrespect him.

Pop them bottles.

The persona is fake, but he definitely has credibility. Dude is right a lot, he clearly has sources, and is based in Milwaukee.

12 years in the league. One of the Goat's. He doesn't give a **** about the media and neither should we.

This. We won one playoff game this year and our roster will be worse next year barring a miracle, with the same horrendous coach. I do not see it.

Why would our roster be worse?

Let KPJ, Sims, and GTJ walk. Bobby gets a big new contract. Keep Prince and Brook around. And a full season of Kuz. That’s one path they could take since Doc has a large say in roster decisions.

Even just losing one of KPJ or GTJ makes them worse unless they also make addition by subtraction moves to get rid of Kuz.

Doc benched Kuzma, Prince, and Brook. Doc wanted Brook out before the season. He'll get his way this time.

What are his greatest successes? Genuinely curious. Has always seemed like a random fake account throwing **** against the wall and hoping some sticks. To say he definitely has credibility and clearly has sources feels like a massive stretch from my view.

I obviously hope he/she/it/they is/are right, but I smell bullsh*t.

Always thought he was a parody account that aggregates from other accounts. He's gotten a few things right, but it feels more like luck than insider knowledge. Wouldn't waste time with his news.

It will be funny if he isn’t traded how the Spurs, Rockets, Hawks, Warriors, and so forth have no path to be real contenders without being gifted a top three guy.

He was days ahead of the Kuzma deal, and has had Brewers transactions too.

I’d take the spurs off that list, they have a pretty clear path to a top 3 guy.

I hope he's not dialed in because he had us moving Portis for like 5 different guards at the deadline.

Do we shop him regardless? I don't think so. But, we risk being **** over if he flat out refuses to consider extending in October 2026. We're stuck with a lame duck Giannis who will be had for relative peanuts on the trade market. It's the worst case scenario.

I think he stays his entire career here if he doesn't want to leave this offseason.

I started taking him a little more seriously when he had the Middleton trade the night before it happened. I don't think there was a lot of people with the details on the Kuzma deal ahead of time. But I agree overall with your comments.

Loading the team up with guards around Giannis is honestly the best path forward. Keep like Sims for when you need a big or when Giannis isn’t on the floor.

He also had the Sims deal ahead of time.

What are the odds we can keep KPJ and GTJ?

That lineup of those 2, AJG and Giannis was a problem.

Excellent. Odds that we keep them and making another impact signing? That's trickier. Most of the work will need to be done via trade.

I just want to see Thanasis win another ring in a Bucks uniform. Is that too much to ask?
