So either Giannis moves or he moves half the team?? 🤔

You guys are making this a way bigger deal than it is. He’s basically just saying he’s trying to fire the team up. 

This trade saga is mind-numbing and stupid to the point I almost look forward to trading him in the offseason just to get it over with, but if we get No Fucks Given Giannis for the rest of the season that’d be lovely. Man’s not wrong here.

Shams retweeting this is nasty work. 😂

Can’t say i’m shocked that most of these replies lack reading comprehension skills. Typical r/nba reddit I suppose. Dude is literally saying that the team Milwaukee has now, doesn’t have an identity like the ‘21 Bucks did. THIS team, isn’t the same championship team. THIS team didn’t earn anything. The ‘21 Bucks wouldn’t have needed to be scrappy at the very end and throw down a dunk in closing seconds to send a message. But THIS team needs SOMETHING, and need to figure things out - quick. They lack the composure, hustle, and grit needed to be a good team. Giannis and Bobby are the only guys from the championship squad.

THIS particular group of guys can actually play well, when they play their roles right, but they just haven’t really found “it” yet. If they don’t figure things out soon and continue to lose, the FO will look to make trades. That’s not the ideal scenario. So he’s saying if a windmill dunk at the end of a game lights a fire under some asses, then he doesn’t care about looking like a bad guy doing it.

We all saw the way the team rallied around him after the horn blew. THAT is what brings guys together, when they have each others backs.

Well, I know one player that won’t be there for much longer

hes speaking on behalf of the bulls btw.

obviously, the windmill dunk was a secret signal of Amsterdam > New Amsterdam > New York > Knicks!

He did the windmill to save the franchise - Milwaukee this is for youuuuuu

Giannis been in the league for 13 years? The fuck

Good for him. The NBA, its media, and a lot of its online fan base (sorry, r/nba) are so whiny and bitchy. It’s okay for a player, a team leader in this example, to say fuck this other team’s feeling and try to get his own team going. Emotion is still a huge part of the game even with money being a massive part of it.

“If we keep on losing, half the team, including myself, is not going to be here”

Hell yeah Giannis. But don’t act like you didn’t know what would happen after

Jericho sims and Kuzma have been waiting all season to see a cool dunk so that they can start playing winning basketball. All ball knowers understand this

Zach Lavine you are a scapegoa… a Milwaukee Buck

Bs dude would’ve thrown a fit if a team did the same thing to him

How does a windmill wake them up

What does this even mean?

Great leader.

“I’ve been 13 years in the league”

Is the most shocking part to me. Damn…

Just come to Minnesota. It’s not even that far from home Giannis

Myles Turner he talking about you bro

What is bro talking about 🤣

Trying to understa d shy some lack reading comprehension. All he is saying is that if a windmill dunk at the end helps to fire up the team, then so be it.

“Either trade these bums or trade me”

I didn’t know Yanes could windmill like that.

Hilarious how everybody except Vooch and Giannis were like aight we’re done here…

Can half the team leaving be the entire coaching staff please

I do agree with what he has to say, and he usually say something that has sense. And I know he did this more for the team he’s in than the Bulls. But in a way, isn’t this ironic that he wants humility in winning when he does this? He is obviously frustrated and is being passive aggressive. He obviously wants to win and actually deserves to get into a winning team given his talents, but no contending team would give you assets. Especially not my Spurs. And I am not sure how many brothers he has on the team, but that might also factor in, how can role players be inserted when they need to please them. And if he goes to a contending team (on a miracle), is he willing to take the 2nd or 3rd option, given that most best teams have an identity or at least near a formula of what works for them on a consistent basis.

If people here were serious and not just trying to get their jokes and narratives off, this would be recognized as the context for why he did the dunk.

I get the point he’s trying to make, but it was a dunk vs the fucking Bulls. Milwaukee didn’t exactly go into OKC or SA and make a statement.

The East is even more ass than I thought it would be. If Giannis stays healthy, I could see MIL getting all the way to 4th.

But, do I believe they will do so? No. The roster just isn’t good.

There’s no moves they can make to improve.

One of the most glaring “Time to move a superstar” situations I can ever recall.

I don’t feel they should let a week of Fool’s Gold persuade them differently. Yes, if Giannis plays, a stretch of Bulls/Hornets/Wizards/Hornets/Kings could easily be 5-0.

Where he goes may well dictate the next 5-10 years of the NBA.

And, if I’m the Bucks, I don’t want Tyler Herro or KAT in return. I want a good young player or two and as many picks as humanly possible.

For Giannis to green-light a trade, it would have to be worth it to him.

Which team in the league can complete a one-on-one trade with MIL and give the Bucks exactly what they should want in return?

OKC.

Now, of course, trading a superstar is tough. Giannis only has one more guaranteed year on his deal. If he flat out says he only re-sign with NY or LA, then OKC suddenly becomes a lot less likely to make the trade.

And the Lakers do have a matching contract….

There’s obviously many issues with trading LeBron. The biggest, frankly, is the PR issue. But, having 5-6 years of Prime Luka/Prime Giannis greatly addresses that issue. The other big one is the Lakers lack of picks. So, it would have to be a multi-team trade. “Why would another team want to help the Lakers get Giannis??”

Fair question, but no team would do it to help the Lakers. It would be to help their own team.

For instance, the Hawks dump Young and pick up Reaves. That is worth giving up picks for.

He’s trying to gather the energy to unleash the chaos dunk…

If these guys who are making more money than I will ever make need a damn dunk to wake up then just blow up the team already.

When a team blows up their chances, a large part of the blame usually goes to the superstar.

But in this case Giannis did nothing wrong. The Bucks FO just decided to blow the thing up unprovoked. Starting with that needless Dame trade.

Giannis has every right to be pissed

The Bucks fans in here talking about ‘y’all are dumb, he’s just trying to motivate his teammates for the rest of the season’ are hilarious.

Like in two months time when the team is slacking and getting blown out they’re gonna be like ‘hang on a minute… remember that garbage time dunk Giannis did?! Let’s play harder!!”

What a loser

Lmao I believe you Giannis.

Get ready to speak Lakers, Giannis.

Man, Giannis is a cool dude

lol stop bsing

Bros leaving and says this shit. What a fraud

What the fuck is this logic

Giannis doing his Temu version of The Decision

man shut up

Lol it’s clear he’s trying to make the Bucks front office the bad guys to protect his own image. While at the same time pressuring Horst to either trade him to where he wants or add another star player to make the Bucks contenders again (which unfortunately won’t happen because the Bucks can’t afford that type of player). LeGM copycat indeed!

one dunk is not going to save this team and season lmao

dude is going to left bucks but he’s really trying too hard to make it seem like he had no other choice

Yeah, kinda wished he didn’t even respond to it. Dunk was awesome, but this response isn’t.

Borat speaks. What a dog’s breakfast of words mashed together.

He’s becoming pretty unlikable with how he is handling his trade request. You would think he would have an exit like how Dame did with the Blazers, but he’s making it more like a keeping up with the Kardashians episode.

Giannis stays one of the corniest guys in the league. I don’t mind the dunk, but the over explanation is too much.
