No, the opposite. Giannis needs to play him all 48 minutes (or however long the game is). During which, all the teams agree to make their trades when he can’t get to his phone.

Yeah too much wheeling and dealing was happening.

For example, Larry Brown watched Dikembe shut down the rim in the all star game and before you know it, Deke’s a sixer!

Bullboah | Bucks

I get that this is the consensus theory on the sub, and feel free to call me braindead, but it doesn’t make any sense.

If a player wants out but doesn’t want to be blamed publicly, why would they leak vague rumors to ESPN?

Telling the team you won’t sign an extension puts actual pressure on them and doesn’t need to be public.

Texting Shams doesn’t actually put pressure on the team to make a trade and obviously makes it public you want out.

I’m not saying Giannis doesn’t want a trade but people only believe this particular theory because they hear other people saying it on social media.

United_Equipment4398

MichuAtDeGeaBa_ | Pacers

Lmao right? Giannis basically gets to request a trade once a month and then all the blame and anger goes to Shams. Giannis probably loves the guy.

jetxlife

People don’t realize that shams is just a mouth piece for owners, agents , players and GMs.

He’s not special or talented. The guys job is to just be a mouthpiece. There will always be one in the NBA and it’s him.

Depending on whom he is speaking for might cause other parties to be upset. But those other parties still use him.

My personal opinion on NBA trade talks/FA signings is that the whole thing is obnoxious and I don’t care at all until whatever happens happens.

Since the NBA is a men’s soap opera you see ESPN and people online talk about every tweet over and over. Until something happens who gives a fuck. Clearly a lot of people. Not my type of content.

Why stop at talks? Just trade Shams at halftime and have a spectacle of announcing the trade right after, along with video of Shams exchanging jerseys with the other player.

That’ll be more exciting than the All-star game.

The celeb game was fun when it had more known names. Now we’re getting YouTubers, influencers, people from bands or shows you’ve never heard of before.

It was fun when they had characters like a Kevin Hart, Terrell Owens and so on.

Maybe that’s why I thought they stopped. Cause I remember 2 years ago or so seeing a game but the “celebs” were like The Miz & Amouranth. It used to have J.Cole & Myles Garrett.
