Looks like we'll find out soon enough if Giannis wants out or not.

Giannis will force a trade to Knicks come January 2026 whether Knicks win the ship or lose in the ECF or Finals.

Towns plus OG for Giannis. Win win for both teams.

Remember when Giannis pretended to leave the Bucks so that Bucks picks were more valuable for the Jrue trade. After trade was done he signed up for the super max.

Not expecting the same thing here but worth remembering. Bucks actually in a good position be a bit active this offseason.

Knicks won't consider it now because they don't want distraction as they try for a ring.

But as per my post. Before 2026 trade deadline, Giannis would push for trade and Knicks will see it as the best way to build a dynasty.

Giannis wants to go New York for personal and off court business purposes. Hence the Nets and Raptors rumours.

The Giannis workout with Harper & Bailey, trying to decide which team he wants after the draft...
Scouts described him as “unprepared to answer certain questions,” and his response to a question about his strengths and weaknesses—“I ain’t got no weaknesses and I got more than two strengths big dawg”

He'd be dumb to go out west. It's a gauntlet out there. LeBron would have 2 less titles if he wasnt in the cupcake east most of his career

The opposite. I would love to have him in Boston but if it can't be done, i would like to see him in the West.
All these years in the East his competitors in the PF spot have been Porzingis and Horford.
In the West we'll get regular matchups with AD, Zion, JJJ, Gordon, Randle among others.
He loves playing against top competition, he embraces it.
If not for Boston, then hopefully a team like the Spurs or the Rockets can grab him.

the bucks can't guarantee anything. they can only reassure and that's all giannis is looking for

the bucks can only show they have assets to move

Giannis needs to bolt.

The Bucks have no way to improve the team and Lillard is out all of next season. It'd be a year wasted of his prime not contending.

Bucks "Look Giannis we have no assets for future trades to improve the team. But if you be patient we will have Dame coming off an Achilles injury the following season who will also be 37 years old. Just be patient and we can make you a Bucks legend in due time."

Giannis "I'm out"

Meeting done. :D
