Whoever runs ESPN behind the scenes must really hate Milwaukee.

Pistons Receive: Giannis Antetokounmpo

Bucks Receive: Tobias Harris, Jaden Ivey, Isaiah Stewart and 3 1st round picks.

I also used to read espn regularly. Now i see their headlines. Anything that seems like clickbait, I avoid. I especially avoid anything on Giannis trade news. I didn’t read the article on 8 deals for example.

The less the number of clicks on those types of articles, the less will be the number of such articles in the future.

Nope, ain't gonna happen. They're everywhere.

Your weekly Giannis update from Shams: when there's something to talk about, or maybe not something to talk about, we'll have something more definitive to talk about.

This has been your weekly Giannis update from Shams.

Cause this is his script. What would you expect from a network that has Stephen Smith and Kendrick Perkins as expert analysts?
It's all just entertainment, facts and critical thinking not required.

Can't wait for Giannis to zing him again.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has settled his future for the medium-term as he appears settle on giving the Milwaukee Bucks an opportunity to upgrade the roster around him this offseason. "His future is not going to be tied to the draft," said Shams Charania on Monday's Pat McAfee Show. "His future is not going to be tied to free agency.

"Then after that, after let's say two or three weeks into July, Giannis Antetokounmpo will then have to figure out what is it—do I feel like this team I'm on right now—is it a championship contender?


Seriously, what in the actual **** is he even talking about?

What's funny about this Shams report dropping right now is Giannis has Bucks teammates flying to Greece for team activities and workouts as we speak. Tyler Smith, Ajax, Livingston are already there via their IG stories and probably a few others coming.

If Horst can hit two doubles and a triple, I think Giannis is good enough in the current east, to get us to the finals.

You'll see. When Giannis announces his retirement from the Bucks in eight years after winning another MVP and two more rings, Shams will be able to say that he was right about Giannis being "open minded about a future outside of Milwaukee."

I believe Marques said Rollins and AJ were going/there too.
