In this week’s Tuesday Tracker, we took one last pre-deadline temperature check on the Giannis rumors as the typical national voices fanned the flames of him wanting out even further. Here are the highlights:
With an even larger sample size than last week’s survey, 57% of voters still believe the Bucks were correct not to trade Giannis before the deadline. 33% thought they should have, a net increase of 67 votes.
Surprisingly, despite reports from the usual national media sources, 6% more believe Giannis would not request a trade ahead of the deadline. Last week, 64% thought he wouldn’t.
Nevertheless, 77% of respondents believed reports that the Bucks were listening to offers and approved of them doing so. 19% disapproved of listening to the offers. Recent reporting from several sources suggests the Bucks were neither serious about these offers nor did they even make counteroffers.
74% of fans polled think the Bucks will still trade Giannis this offseason, with the majority believing it will happen before June’s draft. It will be interesting to see how these numbers change in light of Giannis’ public comments about wanting to remain in Milwaukee the rest of his career.
Thanks again for voting! Check back on Tuesday for another slate of questions.
