I think his preference is for the Bucks to be a contender, but there’s just no path there. If they could show him a path, I feel like he would stay. He’s always done that for them.

I just don’t see them showing him a path forward toward contention this time.

lilbodie | Timberwolves

Exactly. People are acting like he keeps switching up or something, it’s just a tough situation.

He loves Milwaukee, he doesn’t want to leave. He also wants to win. Deep down he seems to know he can’t win in Milwaukee anymore, but he seems to be holding onto a bit of hope that he can. Completely understandable that it’s really a difficult situation for him.

“I want to be here, but I want to be here to win, not fighting for my life to make the playoffs,” Antetokounmpo said. “I’m not used to inconsistent basketball. I’ve played so many years of consistent basketball, I am not used to it anymore. During the game, I don’t know if you can see my face, (but) I get frustrated during the game, while the game is going on.

The amount of hate here is crazy. Why do people find this part so difficult to understand? My guess is that the people complaining are those who chronically follow NBA news and react to every headline. They’re more annoyed about the constant exposure rather than taking time to consider that Giannis’s position is genuinely difficult; either leave the place he played his entire career in, that he loves, or play meaningful basketball. If he stays, people will call him a bag chaser who did it to himself. Can’t win here.

KinglySnorlax | Raptors

That statement would be somewhat true though.

The Bucks have exhausted all avenues for him by going in multiple times for him.

If he wants to stay with the Bucks, he can either accept his fate, and get paid or alternatively take a massive pay cut to free up space for roster moves.

Him taking a pay cut would still not help them become a championship team that he has requested. People forget Milwaukee is not a free agent destination. They have to draft and resign players they develop.

tavaras1981

1 | 40 minutes ago

Exactly and he knows the front office were all in on him and Dame carrying the team to a chip. They lost that gamble. So for Giannis get paid an enormous contract and keep playing at an All NBA level to compete for play in status or work together to find a trade destination. All this back and forth is unnecessary

KinglySnorlax | Raptors

1 | 37 minutes ago

If I was the Bucks, I’d also consider trading him elsewhere than where he wants if they get a better haul.

Man clearly also wants the bag, and making him choose after he made them multiple times, would be low key hilarious

tavaras1981

1 | 28 minutes ago

Exactly! Like I get it he grew up there became an All World player but if winning a championship is his end all news flash it’s not happening in Milwaukee. It’s just not feasible. The players they have outside of Giannis have no trade value. IMO he is in a similar situation like Dirk. His one chip is worth a lot because he did it on his team and didn’t ring chase.

KinglySnorlax | Raptors

1 | 21 minutes ago

Honestly, we’re babying a 30 year old man.

He grew up there, cool. He had a family there, cool. Lost people there, that sucks. Nothing about any of that is particularly unique. A bunch of stuff happened to the man in a city he had a job opportunity and could make the most amount of money in.

Maybe he gets lucky and has another run later in his career post rebuild, you never know how long will be, could be a year or two or could take the Bucks decades after he retires.

The man wants to anything provided he’s not making any sacrifices or ruining his ‘image’.

Brah,

tavaras1981

1 | 10 minutes ago

Exactly he is so afraid of facing the criticism of people saying he is ring chasing! If that’s the case just stay in Milwaukee get your enormous bag and play your ass off like you always have. The front office gambled on Dame then flip that failure into another failure. If you really want to help the team pick a concrete direction and roll with it. All this I don’t want to leave but no I can’t win so I think I need to leave is beneath him. He is already a proven winner on the court and life he shouldn’t be ashamed to say we tried but it just didn’t work anymore

People are not hating on Giannis because he is a likable player and person. We are just tired of these mixed signals being headlined every day on tv. He is trying to avoid being a “villain” like LeBron KD James Harden. For example look at Mike Trout with the Angels. People have called him dumb for years for not demanding a trade and going to a championship caliber team. He stayed and didn’t send mixed signals about his intentions. He is sinking with the ship. Giannis and his representatives are causing all this unnecessary attention. The Bucks gambled on Dame Lillard and that didn’t work. They will never win another championship without a complete rebuild.

Tankshock | 76ers

I don’t get what’s wrong about his response here. It’s basic honesty. He would rather be a Buck, but if they can’t field a competitive team he’s ready to move on. What’s the two-face part of this?

What do you want him to say, “I’m ready to win 15 games a year if that’s what it takes to remain a Buck”? “I hate this team and I need out right now”?

He’s literally put the ball in the front offices court. Whatever deal they can come up with, he’s in. If that’s a miracle deal to save the Bucks, fantastic. If that’s a deal to ship him out, that’s fine too. He’s not being two faced, he’s being as loyal to Milwaukee as a MVP on a 15 win team can be.

You’ve yet to actually describe what’s two-faced. He’s not the GM, he’s leaving the possibility of a Hail Mary buy trade up to them without shutting it down.

tavaras1981

1 | 32 minutes ago

But he was reportedly working with the Bucks front office with roster moves. And it’s two faced like I said because he knows the Bucks will not be a championship team based on their current status but still he is saying if they are not going to be a championship team he should go elsewhere. He already knows they will suck until they get assets again.

Awoawesome | MIL

1 | 28 minutes ago

They were stuck and then they got Dame, they were stuck and then they pulled Myles Turner out of a hat. He’s giving a creative FO a shot to prove they can do something before pulling the plug. That’s a courtesy. He could absolutely have pulled the “I’m only going to X or Y card” by now and left them with a shit return.

tavaras1981

1 | 16 minutes ago

Exactly you are correct the front office double down on their mistakes and now they have no options left. So why can’t Giannis just man up and say it was a good run what team is offering the most and roll with that? Dame left and went back. Giannis could probably do the same. But if his requirement are for the Bucks to be a championship caliber team not happening right now. Just make a decision and roll with it

nbxcv | Spurs

What do you want him to say? The team sucks and has no potential so he has to leave ASAP? He’s being diplomatic and saving face for everyone involved instead of burning bridges with the org and fans. I don’t see what the problem is.

tavaras1981

1 | 25 minutes ago

He has good intentions but this constant back and forth also is a distraction for his teammates because now they have to answer questions about what Giannis is thinking. If he cared so much about the team his teammates are part of the team and he needs to refrain from this back and forth

Tankshock | 76ers

Yeah I don’t think there are any realistic moves that get us especially close to a championship during Giannis’ prime, but could we become one of the better teams in the East moving 3 firsts, one of which will be top 10 in a strong draft? Probably.

Desperately need a coaching change but outside of that I don’t know why everybody’s acting like it’s so unbelievably far-fetched. Early-mid 2030s Bucks picks have a fair bit of value. Don’t think it’d really be enough to convince him to stay, nor do I think it would be sensible, but it’s absolutely doable if he did stick around.

Last year they took a step back and this year for sure had been a free fall but let’s not act like this team wasn’t pretty damn good around him.

It’s more future outlook than past.

darren_meier

0 | an hour ago

The problem is that he’s backed them into a corner where they can’t “build a proper team around him” anymore because his constant urging them to be all in on contending has left them asset-poor. They made moves that failed, but now they’ve got nothing left to work with. That’s just how it goes, front office stuff is always cyclical. The usual tools to build out a roster don’t exist for Milwaukee, now… and they need to tear it down for a full rebuild. In a way they’re like the current Lakers roster… the Lakers tried to get table scraps to build a roster around Luka this year, and the resulting roster is weirdly fringe-NBA guys getting tons of minutes while Luka kills himself out there.

At this point, the sort of roster the Bucks have is all the roster the Bucks can assemble. They haven’t got the money or the trade assets to get anything better.

You think Ja is gonna turn the bucks into a championship team? They imploded their cap space with the Lillard trade, and have horrible contracts that no one wants with Kuzma, Portis, and A.J. green. Why the fuck is AJ green getting paid 10 mil/year?!

They need to just rebuild at this point. Trade Turner and Giannis and get either young players or draft capital. They’re gonna be in the same situation as Portland and Wizards for awhile.

In their time together, it seems Dame thoroughly taught this man the art of repeatedly asking for a trade while insisting that you’re not the type to ask for a trade.

I mean, I get it. He loves living in Milwaukee, loves the fans, but wants to contend.

Unfortunately, his desire to contend has led the team to wiping out all their options to appease him. And he still doesn’t seem to appreciate the role he’s played in that. Milwaukee hasn’t had shit outside of Giannis in ages, and they’ve been operating from this position of fear that he’ll ask out since winning the title. And for any team– not just the Bucks– you can’t make aggressive moves consistently without running out of assets.

Giannis seems like a nice guy who’s also the least self-aware basketball player in the league. He either needs to commit to asking out of he needs to get comfortable with a rebuild, because there’s no middle ground.

It’s pretty clear they’ve already tried that 3 times and it didn’t work. And I’m sure they tried to get someone in the last month, and that didn’t work. Ownership sucks, and we have nothing left to offer any team. We’re nowhere close to being competitive. Capable of winning a few games? Sure, but hardly capable of making the play-in.

This seems really straight forward and idk why people are so upset with Giannis for it? He is clearly saying his priorities are 1. Win 2. Be in Milwaukee. And if condition 1 is met then he is more than happy to meet condition 2. But if they arent winning, then the second priority becomes irrelevant. I have a hard time being upset with someone for not wanting to waste away their career when their priorities arent lining up with the organization. Him wanting to win doesn’t mean he hates Milwaukee for any reason and if anything, he is clearly articulating that the only reason he would ever want to leave is if he thought there was no shot of competing, which is definitely the current case for the Bucks.

No offense to you, however, having the stance of

“If ownership isn’t committed to building a winning roster, I’d like to leave…if they’re committed to spending to put together a competitive team, I would love to stay in Milwaukee”

Isn’t really a wild take.

He’s a human.

AutisticFingerBang | Knicks

He’s flip flopped a dozen times now, he’s refused to publicly admit he’s asked for a trade, he’s basically holding fans emotions hostage. The way he’s handling this publicly is a disaster. Just be open

I don’t get how people think this is so hard to understand

Giannis doesn’t hate Milwaukee, doesn’t wanna leave, but he doesn’t wanna play for a shit ass team where he’s the sole contributor to wins. Redditors think dilemmas don’t exist apparently.

Then he should demand a trade. He knows very well they don’t have the assets to get him a championship team. He just likes playing coy about it.

Why would he get himself fined publicly demanding a trade? To make you feel better?

You can’t publicly demand trades. It’s against the rules. Some guys do it anyway, but they lose money on that. It’s not Giannis’ problem that you’re tired of endless bullshit from Shams/Windhorst/Fischer/whoever. He’s clearly had extensive discussions about it behind the scenes.

It’s not hard to understand! Wanting two different things that are incompatible with each other is something that everybody alive has experienced! Which is why a lot of people find it exhausting that he won’t just say what he means instead of going through this overwrought handwringing act of pretense.

The fact that his predicament is so easy to understand is WHY so many people find all his bullshitting about it to be irritating.

It’s not a bad thing. But if Giannis keeps emphasizing that he wants to win and most people in here largely believe the bucks aren’t in a good position to win then naturally there will be speculation

Because at other times giannis talks completely different

[Nehm] Giannis Antetokounmpo on if he would commit to another season with the Bucks: “You’re saying that if they can convince me to stay within the team, and the next year that we can compete? Oh yeah, 1,000 percent,” Antetokounmpo said. “One million percent.”
