Giannis: “As Americans say, opinions are cheap — that’s why everyone has one. Right now, at this moment, I’m in Milwaukee. I don’t know if I’ll leave — it’s not up to me. If it was up to me, maybe I already would have left. In a year and a half, when I become a free agent at 32, it will be up to me”
Giannis was asked once more about the possibility of leaving Milwaukee.
“As Americans say, opinions are cheap — that’s why everyone has one. Right now, at this moment, I’m in Milwaukee.”
Giannis repeated that he feels loved in Milwaukee; however, he would love to win another championship, so things should be moving towards this goal. Still, he will never force his way out through a trade: “I am not this kind of guy.”
But could he leave this summer?
“I don’t know if I’ll leave — it’s not up to me. If it was up to me, maybe I already would have left. In a year and a half, when I become a free agent at 32, it will be up to me.”
One thing is certain: he does not intend to sit out the rest of the regular season to protect himself, even though the Bucks are having a good year, and he doesn’t believe the team would ask him to.
“No one can dare come and tell me not to play. I never gave anyone that right — as long as my legs allow me, I’ll be out there.”
