Meanwhile of course the Bucks want to trade him. They have no path to winning a title. The franchise needs a reset whether thinking about titles or business.
Giannis doesn’t want to leave the city but you and I both know he loves winning titles more than he loves comfort. He’s left his home for a better situation a couple of times in life. Once you’ve left countries to seek a better life, it’s not difficult to do it anymore. Growing up Nigerian in Greece, he’s always understood that sometimes you sadly have to put you and your family’s highest potential first, before nostalgia and comfort.
If both parties wanted to stay together it would have leaked all over the news. They’d both be excited to put this thing to rest ASAP. Who wants this cloud hanging over them?
I’ll be here for you Bucks fans, even if you dug your heels in and lashed out at people and created logical narratives and it feels like death to face the situation. I know you have to believe sometimes but if it helps at all your future is truly better if you trade him. You’re at a dead end and you deserve better too.
Or.... Now hear me out..... This is the exact same bull reporting done on him the last 8 years and people just project what THEY want him to do
and FYI Giannis talked to Milwaukee management a while ago and told him he's not requesting a trade but suprise suprise what gets "reported" is a quote on draft night about him "being open to possibilities about his future" (because who the **** isn't?) and spun by our outstanding media outlets into him wanting out.
They've been doing it for almost a decade but since so many are so ready to eat it up i 100% understand why they do it even if i find it detestable
Denver fans this will be what you get to look forward too

Man listen, it's really important you understand that you're a Bucks fan. There are things exaggerated for you that are not exaggerated for us. I barely remember any news about Giannis getting traded and I've been visiting this site for 10 years. There's been tons of players rumored and yes I'm sure Giannis has been one of them. Other than the MVP candidates, no one goes untouched.
This dramatic world where everyone is trying to get Giannis out of Milwaukee is only the experience of Bucks fans. There's no conspiracy. Lots of journalists make up fake stuff and we all know that - you're not especially informed about that. Some are right sometimes. Some are often telling the truth that someone told them.
The contract, context and team situation are what make this the first time anyone can take a Giannis rumor seriously. Trust me, we (Rockets) heard about trading Hakeem constantly before he was traded. We heard about Harden in trade rumors before the real news started circling. There's a massive difference between random rumors and when news is real. These are not random rumors. He has 2 guaranteed years on his contract, he's an athleticism-based 31 year old who will decline quickly, that's a small market that can't let assets just retire/walk without recouping value, they've been knocked out of the first round, his sidekick is likely out most of next season, waiting one more year means he gets to dictate where he goes. There are realities here you have to wake up to. Even if you don't believe he's going to get traded - which is a fair prediction - you sitting here and acting like nothing is going on just shows us you're out of touch with reality. You're not looking at the good and the bad. You're just praying and that's why your voice won't hold any weight to anyone.
When we hear a Bucks fan going "there are serious issues, this is a legit question, my prediction is yes/no about the trade" then we're communicating with someone who's willing to stop being so fearful and just discuss things. I'm telling you honestly, this is a situation. This is not all manufactured. There's a possibility the ownership and management have to consider for the well-being of the franchise EVEN if Giannis doesn't want to move. You may be ok with it but it's not a commercially smart decision and small market teams that get emotionally attached always get burned. You better hope your management is being business-minded. Giannis is a once in a lifetime player but there's not many years left on that body. If you can get 3-4 players worth $20-25m that's a great place to start rebuilding a champion. Nothing to be ashamed of. You'll win again, Giannis is not your only hope.
Really feel bad for you guys. We're all just discussing things here and it feels like some of you want to just kick and scream because you can't practice some acceptance that there's some danger on the table. There's no conspiracy going on here, this is real life. You'll be alright no matter what happens, whichever way the franchise goes there's work to be done that will be very fun to do.
