Does Shams do this about other players or just Giannis?

Just Giannis.

Look no further than this interview clip about Jokic and the comments made by their owner. Shams basically brushes it off as a nothing burger. Could you imagine what he would be saying if one of the Bucks owners said that about Giannis?

Was listening to a pod today discuss that Kroenke quote and the room of six Miami Heat fans said they had never considered trading for Jokic because no one had ever entertained the thought that Denver would actually trade him. But Giannis has been their white whale for almost a decade, Pat Riley goes big game hunting, and Ware and some firsts is the kind of Package the Heat go use to make a run at him.

I’m assuming that Giannis tweeting about missing Woj has fueled this obsession for **** Shams to continue his charade. What a clown show, he fits right in with the other countless hacks at ESPN.

I wonder how many days in a row Shams can report on this without there actually being anything new to report on. Does ESPN have a gun to his back making him talk about this every time he's on camera? We should turn it into a Bucks RGM drinking game at this point.

Rockets have literally made the biggest trade of the off-season?

GTJ delaying payment a yr & Bobby signing a multi-yr MLE-equivalent he could have gotten a bunch of places, are further indicators it's known internally Giannis is staying. Not that we needed more evidence, but there it is.

Ironically, the nat'l media thinks it hurts the Bucks' chances even further they re-signed players Giannis likes, believes in, and the lineup data backs up there's plenty of reason to.

Shams and national media just looking for clicks with Giannis. Now they’ve latched onto LeBron, so it’s not just us.

Here’s how I feel

Giannis remains the gift that keeps on giving. How many "team friendly" deals is "wizard" Horst able to facilitate in Milwaukee, WI USA without having the trump card of the world's most likable, hardest working NBA superstar?

We are one “home run” trade or signing from being in the mix to get to the eastern conference finals. Do some magic, Horst.

Nehm or Jim O will write a piece once all the major moves have been done talking about the pitch/plan and how they've fulfilled it, and the savvier (read: literate) national media types will pick up on it, but I doubt you'll see any national reporting on what they'll eventually call a "gutsy bet" (even though it's the path that should be clear to any rational observer) until the Bucks go 10-3 in the first month of the season (Pina: Nobody Saw These Bucks Coming; Hardball Paroxysm: How Milwaukee Bucked the Inevitable).

Practicing for my interview with ESPN -

Giannis was spotted wearing a Steph Curry jersey on the beach holding his son. Trade to Golden State is imminent.

Jonathan Kuminga, Trayce Jackson-Davis and a 2082 lottery protected 1st for Giannis makes sense for both sides. Bucks do right by Giannis and start to prepare for their future.

I don’t care if you’re a champion, finals MVP, multiple time league MVP, MiP, Dpoy, 1st all nba for a decade. If you can’t do more then you’ve wasted your whole career.

Giannis is closely monitoring the 2046 2nd round pick, it could make or break his future with Milwaukee.

If the Bucks resign all their top free agents for below market deals then they’ve ruined their offseason and Giannis is going to be tempted to leave Milwaukee.

Did I get the job?
