Earlier this week, Brian Windhorst went on ESPN Cleveland and said Giannis “Asked for a trade already.” Yesterday, he went on air off of ESPN and said “Giannis has not gone up and said ‘I want to be traded’”
This whole thing is a giant clown show.
This is America
This is ESPN*
Fuck ESPN. It’s sick what he did to those children
Billy Leatardo, whatever happened there.
No this is Patrick.
Don’t catch u slippin up
I never did things just to do them. What am I gonna do, just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody’s couch like it’s somethin to do? Come on, I got a little more sense than that…
Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie’s couch
Cocaine’s a hell of a drug
Windy should have been skinnier sooner
What do the five fingers say to the face?
Honestly a top 5 all time quote.
Ashy Larry posting this is perfect.
Rick James got done dirty because it does make sense that he was grinding his feet on Eddie’s couch not just as something to do, but to send a message.
That message? Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.
Get ready for a few more months of this. And then when he’s not traded we’ll start it up again in July
I’m blocking every Giannis trade thread in our subreddit
This is why we (Bucks fans) are so sick of it.
Look, I get why he would want to go to a different team. Championship window is done. There is no significant way to improve. Why not blow it up and move on? Get something for him before he ages out. I get it. I’ll be disappointed if he gets traded, because he’s amazing, exciting, and you know we have a chance to beat anyone if he’s playing. BUT as long as we don’t Nico this, fine.
But holy fucking hell are the agendas of other teams and their media mouthpieces pathetically transparent. It’s so annoying.
Who actually watches/listens to these people and takes what they say seriously?
Someone on the Spurs subbreddit that’s creaming his pants over the prospect of Spurs trading their entire roster for Giannis just responded to me with a 10 paragraph rant about how ESPN are totally legit. He gave me deets and names I’ve never even heard of so clearly there are idiots lapping up this shit. That’s why it exists.
Half that subreddit has been falling for this clown show since the off season bro. And it’s gotten reignited again. It’s actually madness in there. Can’t even imagine what the Bucks subreddit is like right now, but I have an idea. Probably a dumpster fire in there too right now.
its you knuckleheads constantly posting about it and getting baited by the mainstream media that’s the clownshow. in reality nothing has actually happened.
Always has been. For like 8 years in a row now 🙄
He double talks depending who is his audience.
Not saying OP is wrong, but in the clip here Windy says “his agent has been the guy behind the scenes who has talk about stuff.” Maybe it’s semantics, but on the radio spot earlier in the week his comment that Giannis “asked for a trade already” could have just meant through his agent?
If Giannis had asked for a trade through his agent it would be treated as Giannis asking for the trade
I get the impression Giannis really really doesn’t want to be seen as the bad guy and is doing this super delicately with as much deniability as possible.
Sure, but I think who explicitly asks for what is relevant, as the GM and Doc can come out and say “Giannis has never asked for a trade”, which is technically true, even if his agent did (or at least danced around it). Giannis seems like he doesn’t want to be the bad guy, so I think who exactly says what is probably important here.
An agent is literally your representative. So unless the agent went rogue, in which case he should be fired, then him asking for a trade on Giannis’s behalf is Giannis asking for a trade
No, shit. Everyone knows that. Some players are obsessed with being perceived as loyal and want that in between layer where they can still profess to be loyal while also asking for a trade. Just look at the Dame saga in Portland a couple years ago.
True but I think his point was that semantics might explain the conflicting statements without that explanation necessarily being a valid excuse.
Isn’t that the point you are arguing against?
You think an agent would ask for a trade for their player without the players knowledge?
No, they’re arguing it’s semantics. That Giannis didn’t literally go to the FO and say “I want to be traded”
No, just that Giannis knows fans generally don’t look favorably on a player requesting a trade, especially home fans. Entirely possible he believes being able to say with a straight face that he’s never asked for a trade, even if his agent has, keeps him from being viewed as this year’s “Jimmy Butler wants out of Miami”.
Neither Giannis nor the FO want to be the bad guy here, so letting the agent work things in the background allows everyone to save face until a deal is actually done.
Windy likely lumped Giannis and his agent together in the “asked for a trade already”, and now he’s trying to do damage control.
Exactly
Windy isn’t an Insider. He’s all about what’s good for business. His business.
He’s playing both sides, so he always comes out on top
Windhorse shit
And everyone here ate that fucking slop up like windhorst at a pig trough
Will this be another thread of, “lmao stupid bucks fans are in denial,” just like the other 100 threads that have been posted?
In a thread like this the sub will pivot to “even if he didn’t ask for a trade right now it’s obvious he wants to play for NYK, it’s only a matter of time”
lol yeah and it’s this very thread that is proving it.
Genuine honest to God question…what do you think is happening here? Is ESPN making up stories to generate clicks that Giannis and his camp have just decided to ignore?
It’s like saying an aging athlete or coach is contemplating retirement.
It may sort of be right, but it requires no analysis or insight. You also can’t be proven wrong if you write it.
Just reference “sources.”
It’s really lazy journalism.
I dont get it. Why Giannis? Why arent they making up the same rumours out of thin air for Jokic, Anthony Edwards, Tatum etc? And why isnt Giannis or his camp coming out to refute it (e.g. LaMelo came out and strongly refuted rumours he had asked for a trade). And if he does get traded in 6 weeks…would it all have been coincidental timing i.e. ESPN just happened to make up stories and they got lucky that the Bucks just happened to be thinking of a Giannis trade?
Oh and that brings me to my last question….why are other media houses reporting the same thing? Are the Athletic, the ringer, Yahoo Sports, ESPN and even independents like Marc Stein all just making up the same lie to hurt the bucks/Giannis?
If they keep saying it they’re going to claim they’re correct when it eventually happens no matter how long it takes, also this subreddit eats up this slop by continually to engage with it, so why wouldn’t they?
Yeah but why Giannis? Why is he their chosen target?
Because he’s an MVP tier guy in a small market. This shit started literally minutes, not even exaggerating, after the bucks lost to the raptors in 2019. They did similar things to guys like Dame but he isn’t on the same level. This sub clowned on bucks fans because for the first time in 7 years of this dishonest reporting trying to push giannis to a big market there is legitimate smoke to the fire and yet look at how dishonest all of the reporting still is. Literally straight up lying regardless of if giannis is actually traded this time
It doesn’t have to be a lie. It’s just not solid journalism.
Giannis likes Milwaukee. He probably would like to stay if they are competitive. They have not been very competitive in the last few years. It’s reasonable to wonder if he wants to go somewhere else.
Speculation becomes rumor which becomes anonymous sources saying the same thing for months. The media are excited for speculation becoming rumor. That’s a really weak standard for news but that’s where we are.
Again, no one has to lie. It’s like everyone in an office has heard a rumor but it hasn’t panned out yet. If it does, people say, “I knew it!”
Well, sort of.
Andy Reid retirement rumors have been big for several years. It makes sense. He probably wonders about it and sources hear that. And some day, GOSH, yes, he will retire and the Adam Schefters will celebrate that they’ve heard about it for years.
Why not other players? Jokic’s team is still a contender. Edwards is still very young, but those rumors are inevitable. Tatum is injured and still in a beloved market.
But this is not speculation. If what is being said is false then it would be straight up fabrication e.g. Shams reported Giannis + his agent and Bucks GM met in Greece and discussed trading him to the Knicks. That would be a lie involving at least 4 parties that could straight up come out and refute it…why havent they?
Plus how about all the other times this happened (Kawhi, PG, AD, KD, Lebron etc) and the fanbases accused the reporter (Woj, Shams, Windy etc) of being wrong only for them to end up being right? Were all those just lucky guesses? When is the time that those guys got it wrong? Surely with all those lucky guesses they must have gotten one wrong by now….right?
Do you really not understand that media standards are different now? Good or bad, they are different.
In olden days, Shams would have to name a source. A person. Not insiders. He can say dumb, wishy-washy things and make them dramatic. A player, his agent and a GM met. They met?!?! In Greece?!?! Maybe. It’s a nothing burger.
Again, you don’t need to lie. You can take possibilities and amazing things like people eating lunch together as a smoking gun that proves your easy, lazy speculation.
I’m gonna go petty here. I’ve answered your questions. You didn’t respond to my points at all. So, have a nice day.
Never been as good as r/nba’s hive mind think. Sure he’s much better than Perkins or SAS, but the bar is low.
dude followed lebron everywhere he went sine he was a kid and people think he’s one of the good ones at espn
And people still ask why MIL fans say they don’t trust national media when it comes to Giannis news.
The national media genuinely does hate Milwaukee
For sure. Stephen A Smith goes out of his way to shit on Milwaukee
Lol, Milwaukee is a pretty fun town compared to a lot of NBA cities.
Summer in Milwaukee is amazing. Midwest summers are super underrated
I lived like 20min away from Milwaukee the vast majority of my life. Honestly there is just a lot to do in Milwaukee in general. Even in the winter when its not too awful to go out the city can be quite pretty with a bit of snow.
I honestly don’t understand any negativity people have for Milwaukee, I love it.
Well, the winter does suck. It’s dark at 4pm. And cold.
If you don’t drink, Milwaukee sucks in the winter, there’s no denying that
can be quite pretty with a bit of snow.
The morning after a big snowstorm is super beautiful. Especially around some of the boulevards like on the East Side or Tosa.
It’s nothing personal, they do this for every small market team’s superstar unless they’re actively in contention, at which point it’s hard to make an argument that they want out
It happens way more for Giannis because he’s always giving ambivalent answers about his future. He wants to stay in Milwaukee but he always goes out of his way to leave the door open by saying he wants to compete and will do whatever he has to if his team isn’t competitive. It’s not a big mystery why people think he could leave, in a way they don’t talk about Jokic or SGA for example.
It feels like an imminent Giannis trade has been “news” every year for the past 3 seasons at this point lmao
It was a thing in 2020 as well. Winning a title quieted it down for a year or two but aside from that it’s been a constant thing for ESPN
Didn’t Malika basically ask him if he wanted out after winning game 6? I remember Giannis straight up left the conference after her question.
This sub was calling us delusional for not blatantly trusting these reports lol
…But why doesn’t MIL fans trust the national media when it comes to Giannis news?
Giannis is on record for despising Windhorst and Shams.
When there is news to leak, it’s going to be through specific reporters.
There’s definitely nuance that is lost. I think most bucks fans agree where there is smoke there’s fire, but I think the point I’ve been trying to make is that this smoke is no bigger or different than it’s been all year, it just looks with the bucks record so far
And now it’s time for this sub to either ignore this completely, or shift the goalposts and claim Windhorst isn’t actually saying Giannis didn’t ask for a trade.
Like clockwork
The worst part is that eventually these morons will actually be right and Giannis will be traded and every one will use it as vindication that the reports have been accurate after 5 years of being wrong.
Is it at all possible the reports have always been reasonably accurate (at least relative to what they report in general) and it’s been frantic movement behind the scenes by the Bucks FO that has kept Giannis in MKE?
Giannis has been clear and consistent that he wants to be a Buck, and equally clear and consistent that really only holds true as long as they are competitive.
The pattern seems to be: team isn’t competitive -> logically that means Giannis wants a trade -> rumor mill -> MKE makes some moves -> Giannis is satisfied -> rumors cool -> horrific bad luck -> team isn’t competitive -> restart cycle.
Yeah the trick is that it’s now (or this off-season) or never at this point.
And the bucks are bad this year and actually have their own pick thanks to the pels being worse than them.
So more cross road calculus this year more than ever
Or he’ll be traded in the next month and they’ll be some validity to it. Windhorst is probably somewhat talking out of his ass but Giannis is as good as gone imo
and we need to admit none of us knows what’s going on. this is a mess
This person gets it!
Its so weird watching this sub’s reaction to someone like Windy or Shams or Woj say something stupid, and then the next day they can post another clip from them and people will have forgotten about the previous day, yet whenever someone posts something by Ramona Shelburne, its like the pitchforks are out all the time against her. Pretty sexist behavior I’ve noticed.
Windy has always been a Lebron coattail follower. He can break news, but ultimately his entire career is defined by that connection. Woj and Shams both break news like 30 seconds before they come out, and we all know they have an obvious bias. Ramona is the same, had connections with the Lakers, lost it after saying some stupid things, but she’s just as trustworthy as any of them.
I mean, I think there’s been enough smoke plus Giannis’ own comments over the years that it’s a fair guess he’s at least had a conversation with the Bucks on the possibility at some point. But people also have to stop treating Windhorst like a guy who’s actually plugged in to inside sources, which he never has been post-LeBron relationship. He’s just a smart observer and analyst of the same gossip we’re all hearing, and he delivers his speculation confidently as though its insider information, and unlike most guys in the media who do that he’s not a complete dummy, so he’s right more than he’s wrong. He’s done this shit his entire career.
Brian Windhorst’s original source when he said Giannis asked for a trade already was BRIAN WINDHORST
Y’all fell for someone going “trust me bro” and then called Buck’s fans delusional
I’ve been saying this for years. Someone with a keen eye for words realizes these guys (Windhorst, Adam Schefter, etc) have 2 very dangerous variables at play: people trust their word, and if they don’t break news they serve no purpose
So the result is: they present things that are common sense and pass it off as inside knowledge/sources
Ie ‘The bucks are lookin to get back a young assert plus picks for Gianni’s’. Like no shit. You thought that up just like I could. But to continue your grift as ‘insider’, you have to make it seem you got that from someone.
They only get away with it bc their demographic—-cough, Redditors—-are nerds just like them. So they don’t even question their integrity. These dudes flat out lie and hide behind ‘can’t reveal my source‘. Scott Templeton shit
This has been happening with Shams as well. To be clear I think it’s extremely like Giannis gets traded or requests a trade either mid-season or at the end of this season, but so much of Shams reporting has been repackaging ordinary occurrences (Giannis and the Bucks have had a meeting at the end of every season to discuss the future of the team for a long time now) as more meaningful without providing any actual reporting on what makes those events different than usual.
Yes. I think they learned it from Adam Schefter. He will say the most vanilla non-insider comment but will say it in a very reverent tone. People are gullible and take it as authority
People wanna hear whatever the fuck they wanna hear.
I dont know about Windhorst but Im actually going to defend the real “insiders” a bit
A lot of what they do is juggle their relationships with agents, players, and teams. Those relationships are the only thing separating them from Perk and Stephen A.
The stories they break are usually something someone told them and those rumors are almost always designed to serve someone’s purpose.
Im not necessarily talking about this Giannis rumor rn but the industry as a whole. I dont think they outright lie so much as say things that serve other people’s purposes and those other people aren’t always looking to keep the public informed- they are playing their own game.
And yes, of course it also serve’s the insider’s purpose of keeping their audience engaged but the point is that its a symbiotic relationship based on manipulation rather than just making shit up arbitrarily.
it’s just like schefter with the rodgers saga when he called it “an accumulation of information” and “an accumulation of people talking” and no actual source
ESPN is no longer a journalistic media source.
It’s entertainment.
Trusting news and talking points made on that network is perilous at this point.
They’ve gone the way of most big media. They’ve gamified “news” and they’re targeting the “stories” that drive engagement. Plain and simple.
They’ve been running the same story for 9 months that Giannis is “meeting with Milwaukee to discuss his future” or “discuss his options for moving forward” or however they want to word it this week.
ESPN is no longer a journalistic media source
That’s been the case for the last 15 years
I like to call it out specifically because it seems lost on most of the internet.
See: any of the r/NBA threads from the last few Shams tweets claiming Giannis is trying to exit Milwaukee.
Also, the casual fan is still under the impression that ESPN is THE source for news.
My 70 year old dad called me last night to ask me what I thought about all the trade rumors he’s been seeing about Giannis.
He said “ESPN had it up all day yesterday and that they had 4 or 5 different teams that were in the hunt and it sounds like Giannis really wants out. That’s a shame I really respected him I thought he liked Milwaukee”
I had to talk him down from the ledge and let him know that these rumors aren’t originating from the Bucks. I had to explain how ESPN leverages their “insiders” to generate news items to generate content to get people to interact with that content on social media.
What a gross time we live in.
hmmmm let me just google what the “e” in “espn” stands for…
And the N?
No
i mean what does the E stand for?
Windhorst a fuckin moron
Double talking Windhorst and Knicks fan😂
ESPN be giving these dudes a script to push an agenda/clicks but still doesn’t help with giannis constantly having a foot out the door instead of shutting the door completely on these dudes
Accurate
True…So Giannis double talk just adds fuel to the clickbait reporters WHO love conspiracy and controversy.
That’s why I just want it decided as soon as possible, no matter which way it goes. I’m tired of this purgatory we’ve been in for the last few years; it’s draining much of the joy I should have with getting to watch Giannis play for my team. This year/ draft is THE year to jumpstart a rebuild if we can get the Pels pick from Atlanta, so either pull the trigger now or drop it forever please.
Listen, I think giannis will be traded but I hope everyone can understand Milwaukee fans frustration with national media like Windhorst
At least the people at the athletic do actual reporting
My opinion of Shams has been completely ruined over the last year. Just forcing Giannis trade talk into every conversation he can
Seeing Shams blow up from the little guy writing for RealGM to the guy being used by agents and teams to try to manipulate the NBA landscape is crazy. I guess if it wasn’t him it would just be somebody else though.
I have been consistently roasted for years for pointing out the entirely unreliable reporting by the most popular talking heads in NBA media regarding almost anything Milwaukee related. There’s only a couple of people who get real scoops about the Bucks, and any one else is just spreading vague rumors or pushing a narrative.
Windys downfall… probably closer to espn’s downfall and he was dragged into it
Yeah but everyone stopped talking about the Clippers tho so it worked
I would not be surprised if Giannis leaves, and I would not be surprised if he stays if we make a good trade somehow. I don’t believe Horst will just give up without trying to make a move
This bloke really gets on my nerves. He doesn’t know anything. Giannis’s team or the front office would never tell him anything like that. Any of us could do what he does.
Translation: He wants to be traded but respects the Bucks enough to not deteriorate his value with an open request. Basically I want to be traded but take your time no pressure look for the best deal with one of my preferred destinations.
But Windhorst also just said that Giannis would pick the team that the Bucks had to trade him to.
I am pretty sure both parties wants to get him to a destination he won’t be miserable in.
He doesn’t have to say that lol…he will 100% be traded before the player option unless their is full commitment from him otherwise.
Weird. It’s almost like all bucks fans were right about this the whole time and espn and silver were pushing a bullshit narrative. Between windy and shams idk who’s less honest at espn. At least windy tries to be respectable when he isn’t a talking head. Shams can suck a fat one.
BuCkS fAnS aRe DeLuSiOnAl!
Whether Giannis gets traded or not, there’s a reason why Bucks fans don’t trust anything media reports, especially anyone from ESPN. I’m assuming this post won’t get as much traction as the trade talks and will get ignored.
Windy also said on Wednesday that the Bucks will not open up Giannis sweepstakes to the whole league and will let him pick the team he wants to get traded to.
Then yesterday on Thursday, he said that exact opposite, that the Bucks were going to take whatever deal is best and not let Giannis pick his team.
He’s just talking out of his ass and it’s clear he has zero sources within the Bucks front office. He’s a parasite, latching on to any relevancy, like his employer.
No one fact, checks anymore. No one calls out other reporters. Now there’s so many different narratives that everything gets lost in the sauce.
This is why all this talk should be left for the offseason man. We got games on and none of these people reporting this stuff has any knowledge of what Giannis is thinking. We will find out when something concrete happens. Begging the media not to spend the next three months hyper fixating on this
Agreed. That would be great. Maybe they’re trying to distract us from the fact that the NBA is a shit product right now?
Bro ever since the Gobert Utah jazz thing this sub did a 180 on Windhorst but he’s still the double talking snob he always has been. Have no idea why people take him seriously.
some of yall owe lebron an apology
He double talks all the time
Let’s just stop posting anything about what he said, shall we?
I mean, fuck windy
But was the first comment referring to when he asked over the summer and the second is referring to this new, reignited situation?
No. He backtracked.
This is clearly what Windhorst means. He asked over the summer, but he hasn’t yet asked again.
This seems pretty obvious, he asked for a trade this summer to the Knicks, right now he hasn’t directly said trade me.
Make no mistake tho, he’s getting traded
And him saying he didn’t request a trade didn’t even get posted on this subreddit. Everyone wants him to leave so bad lol.
So fucking sick of this clown 🤡
Brian Windhorst makes me hungry every time I see him.
Bucks fans have been saying for years that Shams and Windy are not reliable reporters when it comes to Giannis. Stop listening to these dudes.
“Giannis went to the front office, looked around, and said ‘Dang! I don’t like this candy. I should TRADE it somewhere else. I’m also going to gamestop so I can TRADE IN my games that don’t want to be in my possession anymore.’
Then he turned and winked at me.”
He said two different things. 1) Giannis asked in the offseason to be traded and has not wavered from that stance. 2) Since the season began, Giannis has not asked to be traded/followed up on the trade request
Quiet piggy
Woj would fuckin never!
I’m just here to see if the 30 dickheads who told me I was coping when I said Windy wasn’t a reputable source due to years of this shit will acknowledge that perhaps, he is not reputable.
Let me be clear, Giannis is likely getting traded at some point, Windhorst isn’t who should be used as a source, and neither should Shams. Wait for the athletic or anyone else to report it, and make sure they aren’t sourcing the two aforementioned clowns.
brian has always and will be a joke to nba “journalism”
Shitting out the mouth
I heard this guys podcast and him and his cohost were obnoxious af. They would suck each off and keep contradicting things they would state in the media. Shoutout to LeBron on this joke of a “media Personality” it seems like you don’t need any personality.
👈 Now why is that? 👉
ESPN is the drizzlin shits.
He didn’t, his agent did
No, if his agent did it would definitely be treated as though Giannis did.
What’s going on in Milwaukee?
ESPN and Adam Silver have wanted Giannis out of Milwaukee for years.
Maggot
Semantics. The bucks and the Knicks had trade talks before the season - it wasn’t initiated by the Knicks and the Bucks certainly didn’t come up with the idea to trade Giannis so I wonder how that convo happened?,,
Windhorst thinks he’s the main character.
Windy is basically the sports embodiment of playing both sides so I come out on top. He says shit like this all the time.
Where’s Pablo Torre when you need him
When are people going to realize that all these analysts do is throw shit at a wall to see what sticks? There’s a reason all these “reports” come from anonymous “sources”
I think he meant that hia agent is the one doing the talks and not Giannis who asked direclty. If he Giannis asked directly their will be penalties.
Wasn’t the Windhorst report always that Giannis didn’t literally say “trade me”, but said something close enough that put the wheels in motion?
Windy just reads whats on the cue cards.
Ah so ESPN just lied and no one is going to get punished for it?
Gee I wonder if perhaps they’re being incentivized to create this atmosphere of Giannis leaving for a bigger market…
CLASSIC Brian Windbag, I used to look to him for good insight into certain spots of the league, but after the past few years I tend to ignore him now.
Fire this man
Maybe he’s a drunk, a liar, or just did it for fun
Tell me more why Bucks fans get annoyed with these clowns. They have been trying to get him out of Milwaukee since he won his first MVP.
windhorst has CTE
Damn it’s almost like it’s exactly what bucks fans always say: the media will invent shit and run with it. Until there is a public trade request, I’m not taking anything seriously. I’m sure what happened is Giannis went to the FO and said “so uh is this the best we can put together?” And I’m sure our FO assured him they are working to find a trade to improve the team, and begging for at minimum the trade deadline or until this offseason. They want one more season with Giannis.
The Bucks were pretty adamant this week that he has not asked for a trade. They weren’t trying to dodge or spin anything, they clearly and plainly said that he has not asked to be traded.
Just Windhorst trying to star relevant after LeBron kicked him to the curb
It’s this kind of crap that makes me glad I cut the cable cord years ago.
ESPN has degraded over the last 20 years. It’s satisfying to know I’m not supporting them anymore.
Right either way though ;)
This Giannis stuff is going to be the only story this season, isn’t it? Ugh.
93% of communication is nonverbal. Remember that
Something is going on here
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Why does anyone listen to this fat ass?
He said Giannis already asked for a trade in the offseason to the Knicks but backdown and commited to this season to the Buck so the new report he said Giannis havent asked for a trade yet this current season. Where TF is the nuance on you people.
Last year everyone was kissing Windhorsts ass saying he has really good sources and knows what he’s talking about when LeBron called him out now people are admitting he’s full of shit
These conversations about the semantics are exhausting. He’s gone
I think everyone is collectively tired and doesn’t give a shit about the broken relationship here lol
Now y’all see the bullshit bucks fans have been going thru with these frauds for 6 plus years
[ Removed by Reddit ]
I can’t stand windhorst and his eunuch ass voice
Am I supposed to hate Windhorst now? I don’t care about who said what, just tell me how I’m supposed to feel about individuals /s
Zach Lowe is the only NBA analyst that’s worth listening to in any capacity and it isn’t even close.
In the cleveland clip, wasnt he referring to something before this season, not specifically for this current situation, specifically with the knicks?
Look he may be 50⁄50 on getting basketball news right but he is 100% accurate at clogging up the studio toilet.
I know this isn’t the point, but…
Does that jersey say Cream City on it?
Who writes these titles?
Never seen windhorst fat ass walk as fast as he did back that story!!
Again this is y yall have to stop believing everything they say
I dont know much about Brian Windhorst but I hate him. Are there valid reasons for this hate? please help
Just give it a month and 2 weeks.. when more players are eligible to be traded.. media was just way too early making it awkward for him
At this point I just assume anyone on ESPN talking about Giannis and the bucks is completely full of shit.
ESPN needs to clean house and take sports journalism seriously, but it’s a pipe dream.
The main problem I have with Windy is when he gets very wishy-washy on purpose. “You know, I’ve been talking to people around the league, people in important positions who know their stuff and they’re like, yeah, there’s a real possibility that something’s on the table right now, but don’t quote me on that.” That’s just NOTHING.
Of course Giannis didn’t ask for a trade. His agent did.
He’s ramping up to a trade request.
Maybe.
Lmao I feel for bucks fans this has to be annoying. This would have been much easier if it happened over the summer when teams still had cap space to facilitate moves
I also don’t think Mke owes him his preferred destination. They need to maximize the returns on this trade or their rebuild is going to be painful barring extreme drafting or developmental luck
Giannis needs to stop pussyfooting, it’s obvious he wants to be traded or there wouldn’t always be rumors flying around.
He’s asked for a trade through his agent. Giannis himself hasn’t asked. These are technically different things, albeit functionally identical.
