Soon after we polled you all last week, Giannis had a lengthy one-on-one with The Athletic\u2019s Sam Amick, discussing his future with the Bucks. You can read the full interview here<\/a> and also my reaction<\/a> to it, but the the main takeaways are:<\/p>\n

What never ceases to amaze me is that some, even after reading Giannis\u2019 comments, are essentially accusing him of lying through his teeth. Amick even prods him that it sounds like he\u2019s leaving himself an out, but Giannis shoots that down a bit too. Clearly, bad actors are going to just spin this however they can, twisting themselves into knots with the mental gymnastics needed to distort his words. What exactly has Giannis ever done to deceive us? He appears to be a man of his word.<\/p>\n

In this week\u2019s Tuesday Tracker, we go back to the Giannis trade rumors well. Are you buying his comments from last week? Are you not because he didn\u2019t refute everything or didn\u2019t do so in the way you wanted? Also, was the 2-2 road trip a success despite a bad loss to a depleted Nuggets team?<\/p>\n

As always, this poll will be open until midnight Central on Friday, and we\u2019ll post the results later that day. Thanks for voting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Soon after we polled you all last week, Giannis had a lengthy one-on-one with The Athletic\u2019s Sam Amick,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":534488,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3775],"tags":[7,103,42595,102,121,3871,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-534487","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-milwaukee-bucks","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-bucks","10":"tag-bucks-polls","11":"tag-milwaukee","12":"tag-milwaukee-bucks","13":"tag-milwaukeebucks","14":"tag-nba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115889505071868954","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=534487"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534487\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/534488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=534487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=534487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=534487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
