  2. This unfortunately comes off like Giannis’ camp wanting to improve his own PR in the event of a trade

  3. “He relayed the message that he can’t control what goes on or what even happens to him.”

    Well that’s obviously bullshit. It’s really feels like he’s trying to get traded and is trying his hardest to frame moving on as a “mutual agreement” that his agent and the team felt like would be best for both parties instead of straight up requesting a trade.

  5. Sounding more and more like he’s going to ask for a Trade this year, and the PR machine is already in motion.

  6. This is playing out like the Dwight Howard Magic saga. It’s insulting to his teammates and Bucks fans to act like everything is status quo when in reality he could 100% end the distraction by a simple tweet or report to one of big name reporters. He and his team are treating everyone like they’re stupid.

    It’s making me sad Giannis and his team are going about this basically the most painful way possible. Like stringing along a relationship that is going nowhere…the grey area is never a good idea.

  7. I was cool up until the “he doesn’t have control of what happens to him” part.

    Ball is literally (and metaphorically) in Giannis’s court here.

  9. Man y’all turning on Giannis so quick… He’s always respected his teammates and his city

  10. This is literally the Dame situation in Portland right before he left. Even down to Chris Haynes being the mouth piece. Bucks fans. He isn’t staying. I know you hold on to hope. Trust me, I did too when it was Dame. No way he would ever leave the franchise. No way. Loyalty. Never. Then it happens. I got downvoted to shit last time I even posted around here for saying it’s gonna be better for you long term anyway at this point to trade Giannis. Should get great package and head start on a rebuild. Rollins is a great piece to start with.

  11. the noise is coming from inside the team meeting

    super lame but whatever at this point. pretty obvious he gone

  13. “No baby that’s just outside noise, but just know whatever happens it isn’t up to me …” vibes

  14. I love giannis but these theatrics are pissing me off lol like dude just ask for the trade and stop being scary

  16. As a bucks fan first im tired of this bullshit man either be all in or get the fuck out ask for a trade this bullshit has really sabotaged the season
