That sounds like fatigue and you guys are just done with the drama.

He’s been making clear that he wants to leave since last summer; the Bucks just decided not to trade him.

And Bucks fans vilified the reporters who accurately reported his desire to leave.

He wants to break up but he wants you guys to do it.

Exactly, I think most people wouldn’t have cared if he wanted out after the Lillard injury, that was basically the last chance the Bucks had to maybe be competitive. But he’s being weird about it.

yeah, like so-over-scared of it that he had made an ass of himself. not, like, the unforgivable kind. just the cringe kind. 

Sometimes I wish Russ stayed and we just went to war with what what was left

The nba should incentivize him to stay and be competitive around him

It shouldn’t be like this

This is also just a pundit guessing at this and it might have zero truth to it so we are just here talking about shit that is all based on a hypothetical. Shit, that’s about 90% on conversation on here huh?

But the question is: are you willing to bet on Kalshi that he will leave?

He fears it being like LeBron leaving Cleveland one guesses? Idk I doubt they’re burning his jerseys

This reminds me of KG-Minnesota lol. But at least you guys actually won a title!

Basically “thank you, now gtfo”

The team wants to keep him though.  He’s made it very clear that he’d be very very open to being traded.  Mil just keeps burning it’s future to the ground to keep him around for just one more year.  

That’s the problems- the team has basically required to aggressively demand a trade in a really polarizing way before they’ll actually move him.   This is a co-created problem but no one ever expressed frustration at the GM/team for not just trading him for a boatload of pics.

You’re our GOAT

Real question, here: what about Kareem?

EDIT: Sorry, reddit. I apologize for asking a question on a discussion forum

Most have accepted it? Lol most Bucks fans were calling Shams a liar a few weeks ago

You’re goat. Didn’t Kareem play for you guys?

They’re already a lottery team - and this is the last year they can be in it for some time

Zero margin for mishandling this Giannis situation given the lack of picks/pick control

That’s an opinion though.

They dont want to win. They want to tank. But they dont want him get hurt or tanking his value. He is afraid of being the bad guy asking to leave.

If he wants to break his bones. Whatever. Lol let him do him.

It’s just dumb at this point

I think it’s really simple..

Giannis’ preference is to win championships on the team that drafted him, but he doesn’t want to waste his prime on incompetence.

Since the Bucks championship, it’s been nothing but incompetent.

So Giannis is kind of stuck.

Was gonna say that, but I have a feeling if Giannis traded they not failing his physical unless he limb is going to fall off.

Your main point is valid, but “The Decision” from a PR standpoint was an objectively terrible way to handle LeBron’s free agency announcement.

AD got hate because he was playing some of the most phoned in basketball in NBA history. Zero fucks given, sleep walking on the court. Don’t be fooled by the stat sheet, it was embarrassing to watch even when they weren’t trying to shut him down.

Giannis delivered a championship. AD and LeBron (that time) did not.

I see you misremember because of flair. Silver stepped in to help coach the Pelicans and forced them to play AD, even though he’d given up, was a walking injury concern, and demanded a trade to one specific place, LA. This whole thing was another stain on the league, brought to you by the Lakers.

wow this situation actually does kinda remind me of AD pelicans 2019 saga. dybantsa to bucks

The state of NBA public perception and discourse is such that it’s apparently unbelievable that a professional basketball player might want to play basketball games when healthy enough to do so.

And he has said for years that it’s important to him that he is in a situation where they take winning seriously. The state of NBA media is so far from understanding athletes as humans that someone could spent the decade so far saying ‘I don’t ever want to tank, tanking is antithetical to my values, it’s important to me that the Bucks and I are on the same page as this’ and when the organisation (rightly, wrongly, idc) asks him to compromise on that the thought that they could be genuinely unhappy about that is inconceviable.

Zach Lowe has spent a not small amount of time saying he doesn’t gamble. If the Ringer started asking him to gamble and keep a blog of his bets, and he said ‘No’, I can’t imagine people would say ‘Wow, if I were Zach Lowe and wanted to leave the Ringer this is how I would respond’

ye nobody wants their potential final game for the team they grew up in to be one where they hobbled off in the third quarter. at least give him a final home game to say goodbye on his terms.

He can’t leave if they won’t trade him.

Ringer Zach is a lot more willing to stir the pot for the sake of it than ESPN Zach. I think the show has kinda gone downhill as a result.

To get him out of Milwaukee by any means necessary. The more negativity around him, the mire likely it is he’ll get traded. Why do they want that? Rstings, probably. Too many MVPs on smaller market teams right now.
