Not saying the Wolves are still after Giannis today but the Ayo trade doesn’t really have bearing on it. We basically paid a bunch of SRPs to swap Conley for Ayo which is a great upgrade and could be done regardless of anything Giannis related.

The Wolves moved on because the price to get the Bucks to move him before the deadline was too damn high. You’re right, none of the rumored/necessary pieces to get Giannis were involved with Ayo.

It’s not about the Wolves, it’s about the broken home on Milwaukee where a masochist player can’t leave their dead end situation because they swear it’ll be different this time. This dude is about to mirror Dame’s closing years to a T but honestly for a Bucks fan at least they get to watch Giannis hoop more (next year) assuming things don’t fall out in the offseason

for Ayo which is a great upgrade

We’ll be in a classic conundrum when trading for an expiring contract mid-season. We want him to do well because it will be good for the team, but we also want him to not do TOO well so that we can comfortably extend/re-sign him after giving up assets to get him.

SirDiego | Timberwolves

14 | 3 hours ago

I don’t think that they’ll have a problem signing him if they want to but regardless this is a “right now” trade. Mike Conley falling off a cliff and Rob Dillingham not evolving has been basically catastrophic. Ayo immediately changes the Wolves dynamic for a playoff run this year, regardless of what they do in the offseason.

SirDiego | Timberwolves

4 | 3 hours ago

Nah I don’t think anyone wanted Rob. Wolves don’t have FRPs and would need some salary going out so if it was going to be anything it would be shipping out probably at least ²⁄₃ of Julius Randle, Naz Reid, Jaden McDaniels (maybe with a third team to give Bucks picks, if that is what they wanted).

Like I said I don’t necessarily think that Wolves are still after Giannis today but this trade doesn’t change anything really. I don’t think the Bucks want Rob and Rob wouldn’t get any FRPs from any third team anyway.

bryan49

As a Minnesota fan I also didn’t like most of the proposed offers for giannis. We don’t have much draft picks to offer, so it would have meant giving up two or three important players and left us with a pretty shallow team. Plus I would also worry gobert and Giannis doesn’t work offensively as a pair of bigs who don’t shoot much from outside

You Bucks fans have to get past these weird conspiracy theories. Shams reports what people in Giannis’s camp, the Buck’s front office and the agents tell him. Giannis has very obviously been using Shams to get his message out there that he wants the team to be better or he’ll walk for a couple years. They all speak through Shams and other reporters so they can maintain plausible deniability, and so that fans get angry at the reporters not at them

Markthebaptist

3 | 3 hours ago

There will be better offers in the off-season, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they wait. They’ll be teams who want to see how their current roster holds up in the play-offs, and when they fail, will be more open to bigger trades. Knicks will be able to deal future 1st rounders that they currently can’t etc. Plus I think Giannis is clearly conflicted too, he obviously wants to be embraced by Bucks fans long after he’s left, and is struggling with how to have his cake and eat it too

“Smoke” when it’s all espn who has been proven to have no sources within the bucks org.

if your job is to break news and be an “insider”, it does in fact make you wrong to make claims repeatedly that consistently fail to materialize.

In todays sports world, im not sure why anyone is getting credit for predicting a star player will eventually play on a team that isnt the one that drafted him. Its extremely rare, in nearly every sport, regardless of the success the team experienced with said player.

Shams and ESPN have been regurgitating the same trade drama drivel for years now.

Rapper_Laugh | Bucks

Exactly, it was intentionally vague because the national media has never known shit about Giannis or the Bucks, so they just speculate, and everyone here ate it up. You can find plenty of threads from the past month insisting Shams reporting means “he gone” by the deadline.

Giannis could very well move in the off-season, but if you’re looking to Shams and co. for info on what’s going on with him you’re just looking in the wrong place.

tinybathroomfaucet | Supersonics

7 | 4 hours ago

So because reddit users can’t read and draw the wrong conclusions, Shams is in the wrong?

Rapper_Laugh | Bucks

-2 | 4 hours ago

As if Shams doesn’t know what he’s doing lol. He writes these things to imply as much as he possibly can that Giannis is leaving because he knows it get clicks. And everyone here ate it up.

An ethical reporter wouldn’t speculate like he has and pass it off as “breaking news” like he has been doing for the better half of the decade. He does not have solid sources on Giannis, so he shouldn’t report on things he doesn’t have info on.

Redditors and the national media are both part of this rumor feeding frenzy, and none of it is based on anything solid from Giannis or his “camp.”

tinybathroomfaucet | Supersonics

6 | 4 hours ago

I’d say Giannis has been toying with leaving for many seasons now, probably mostly to pressure the Bucks to make big trades, but still.

I think Shams has been pretty careful, all things considered. He’s not some great Watergate-esque reporter, and he does let himself be used as a spokesperson, but it’s very rare for him to get something wrong. His Giannis stuff hasn’t gotten any major blowback from the people involved. Other reporters, including from other outlets, see his reports as credible.

And NBA teams aren’t keeping their cap clean based on nothing. Nobody is angling for Jokic because they haven’t heard any peep that he might want out of Denver. But somehow for Giannis they have been circling.

Rapper_Laugh | Bucks

1 | 3 hours ago

Well this is exactly it. The info he provides is, again, intentionally vague, because he has no sources, but is framed in a way that implies as strongly as possible that he’s leaving. Again, for clicks.

Giannis is an intensely private guy who spends the vast majority of time with his family. When people talk about his “camp” I think they’re envisioning a LeBron style retinue and that has just never been the case.

The other ESPN figures you mentioned pick up on his reporting because he’s from their network and again, it’s good business. It’s all a big feedback loop.

Now that’s not to say Giannis is happy in MKE currently, he clearly isn’t based on his body language among other things, but Shams knows exactly as much about it as you or I do.

tinybathroomfaucet | Supersonics

0 | 3 hours ago

Shams knows exactly as much about it as you or I do

This just seems incorrect. You’re basically saying he’s been making everything up out of whole cloth. I’d say there’s a strong indication he’s got sources inside or close to the Giannis-Bucks relationship.

Rapper_Laugh | Bucks

2 | 3 hours ago

What indication? What solid information has he reported about Giannis that is verifiably true and has been borne out? And if he did have solid sources saying “Giannis is asking out” why the equivocation?

You’re just blindly trusting him because he has lots of sources on other players across the NBA.

tinybathroomfaucet | Supersonics

1 | 3 hours ago

Notice I’m saying ‘indication’ and not ‘proof’. But just the fact that the whole league is acting as if Giannis wants out, seems as clear of an indication as it gets. Shams was early on this, saying there were talks with the Knicks last summer. Nobody has come out to deny that. I don’t know on what basis you could argue that Shams has got it all backwards and knows nothing.

McDaniels and Randle would yield (through a mitigating team) at least four 1st round picks, assuming the Bucks would prefer the full rebuild route.

True, I think the wolves would have had to send out Randle Naz and Jaden to other teams for picks and then route those to the bucks, including Portland and get the bucks picks bad, but that gets way too complicated mid season.

You’re the only fanbase that insists on staying mediocre instead of going all in. Giannis is a one of a kind player.

He’s an incredible player. It’s not an issue of not thinking he’s worth what we would have to give up. It’s an issue of not having the resources to give all of that up and still put out an actual team that can win. We gotta make a big move to get us over the top at some point but it’s gotta be the right big move.

It was obvious tbh. We would have traded for him 2 days ago if a deal could be reached. When players started moving and partners to work the trade with decreased it was basically done.

This summer we could revisit it maybe but I think Bucks get better offers.

Bucks fans are gonna take another victory lap and then when the offseason hits, giannis will be traded and they will look like fools again.

People interpreting this like shams was wrong and giannis is staying in Milwaukee are the ones who are wrong.

Every teams offer gets better in the offseason. Literally every team who is in the running for giannis will be able to make a better offer in the offseason. That’s why giannis isn’t being traded by the deadline. Not cause he’s staying.

Eh plenty of bucks fans myself included don’t mind Giannis leaving. Bucks aren’t going to win a championship with our roster and Gianni’s deserves a chance to win more rings. It’s just funny to see the entitled team fans so salty about their shitty offers not being seriously considered.

So, in other words, a deal isn’t happening. Giannis probably likes Miami as a spot, but they’re not a team that’s competing, and the Heat probably know they’d be wild to give up the farm to get him, just to likely get beat by the Pistons, Knicks, or Celtics come playoff time.

I mean makes sense there is WAYYYY too many things that need to happen with the wolves in terms of trades to get the assets to complete this deal it is far too complicated to complete this quickly without getting completely ripped off

He’s still going to Miami but it’ll be at the end of the year. They’ve lost all leverage with Miami to do it now.

Part of Minnesota’s strategy has to be damage control. Trading at the deadline for scraps would be a horrible look. But trading for scraps during the offseason, with one year left and a clear indication that he’s not re-signing doesn’t look as bad

What is the worth of a great player on a team with a crap roster and no way to improve it? They’re just running down the years on his contract for no reason. They should’ve traded him the past offseason. Now with 1 yr to go he’s just a risky rental, or worst case for the Bucks he will do a Kawhi and just name his next city and the Bucks will have to take whatever slop they’re offered in return.

Makes sense for basically all teams. Trade your picks in the summer vs obliterating all depth late in the season. Bucks also going to get better offers with potentially more suitors able to make moves

Bucks working against the clock if it goes to off-season. They going to get less for him if OKC does not want to pony up a huge haul.

Other possible destinations like the Knicks are probably out of question the team is clicking well no need to gut it.

If Giannis is not on board with the destination it’s a doomed trade proposition.

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst says the Minnesota Timberwolves have “moved on” from their pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo.
