Giannis Thread - "The Finals are different, I hope to be back soon with the Bucks"

Simmons pod last night. Some guy named Van Lathan says we need to take a lower return in order to thank Giannis for bringing a championship to Milwaukee. We need to do right by him and send him wherever he wants to go.

Simmons doubles down on his deal where Kat comes here and OG or Bridges go to the Spurs. Vassell and a couple picks to MKE. Of course not the #2.

Van is a great listen for Star Wars and Marvel content, but I don't know why anyone would listen to him on sports.

Has this ever happened in the NBA: a team taking unders for a superstar they’re trading because they’ve given them years of service and they want to do “right” by them?

I mean I doubt we’d ever send Giannis to like Charlotte but I think we’d work with him as much as possible to try get him somewhere he’d find acceptable. Kinda like when the Blazers moved Dame (well at least once he relented on the Miami or nothing demands).

Question-why do you listen to this nonsense when you know it's all click bait and they have no clue?

I'm not trading Giannis (except for the #1 pick), but if I did, where Giannis wanted to go would have absolutely no bearing. Once he decides he wants out, my loyalty to him has also ceased.

The Bucks have an obligation to field the best team they can (Horst and Doc notwithstanding). Once Giannis's loyalty stops, so does the Bucks. It's hard to understand anyone thinking differently.

Lol no that’s never happened. It’s absolutely ridiculous ppl get paid for viewership and that’s the type of **** they say. This is just the curse of Kareem saying Milwaukee didn’t fit his cultural needs and wanted out 50+ years ago. That narrative will just never die.

This Giannis/Toronto "mutual interest" stuff is hilarious

Ron Swanson · Post #347 » by **Ron Swanson** » Mon Jun 2, 2025 1:51 pm

Yeah, we're really doing the Giannis/Masai stuff from 5-years ago all over again. These dudes are getting pretty desperate to keep the Giannis trade narrative alive until the draft.

I'm not fully sure why everyone thinks this will be an automatic playin team next year. We've spent the past 4(?) regular seasons derailed by injury and got a top 6 seed just fine. How will this year be different?

Ppl just assuming teams like Detroit and Orlando will leap frog a Bucks team that’s under talented.

People also assuming Doc will be Doc and we will have a full season of Kuzma.

Plenty of reasons to doubt whether the Bucks will be better than Orlando and Detroit next season. We have no idea what this roster looks like on opening night.

A lot of Toronto rumors this morning, including Shams saying KD and Giannis have talked about going there??

jschligs · Post #353 » by **jschligs** » Mon Jun 2, 2025 3:28 pm

Yea I think the top 4 of Cleveland, Boston, Indy, Knicks stays as is. And Detroit and Orlando were right on our heels. It's very possible and almost likely we're a play-in team without Dame for 75% of the season.

I only listen to Shams when he's announcing a done deal. His speculation sucks.

That's a fake Shams account

If there’s anything I know about Giannis it’s that he loves paying high taxes, big cities, and wants to go to a rebuild…

jakecronus8 · Post #356 » by **jakecronus8** » Mon Jun 2, 2025 3:39 pm

If he’s gone it’s Houston or San Antonio. I’d take those two over the field.

Agree on cleveland n the knicks but sm already snipets from boston fans that the new owners might be in the selling mode n KP/ holiday/ brown could be dealt n horford may retire.

Don't think I dont notice that hockey logo under your username Mr. closet Raps fan. San Antonio can blow away a Raptors offer and be an instant title contender. The Bucks could completely wipe out Toronto's cabinets, still not come close to what San Antonio can offer and they'd be a doormat team with Giannis and nothing else.
