Kalshi: Which team will Giannis join next? Sign up now and we’ll match your first deposit up to 50$!

Giannis: I wanna protect my legacy.

Also Giannis: hmmm will I or will I not come back? Go check the markets on Kalshi to predict on it

this is true because it’s not the offseason yet 

He’s never had it. Way too many people looked over the ladder incident

I’ve been telling yall about this mfer since Ibaka was on the team..

It really is a burden to be able to see things before the groupthink comes along 😪

I had no idea his brother Alex was on the team as well until they played the Rockets recently.

Once you’re traded once I feel like you enter mercenary mode so maybe teams wont even bother.

They leaked this because he’s accusing them of lying about his injury. If he’s not following the return protocol, they need that out there.

Are Thanasis and Alex the kids in this scenario?

He’s like the ex that claims her ex was toxic , controlling and a narcissist but when you find out the full story she was flirty texting other guys and deleting messages and omitting the story to make her look victimized

Dame got absolutely bailed out by the Bucks. Imagine him being stuck on a tanking Bucks team coached by Doc Rivers after Giannis gets traded to Miami or wherever.

Don’t know if it’s just me or maybe hindsight but the the Dame saga wasn’t so annoying, tiresome and insufferable to me

I don’t think it’s similar to Dame at all. Dame wanted Portland to trade their picks/youth for established stars/players to contend with, Portland weren’t willing to do that so Dame asked for a trade. He kind of “tarnished” his image by asking for Miami specifically, but that’s pretty much it. He understood the assignment and sat when it was clear Portland wasn’t going to make the playoffs in 2023.

Giannis idk wtf he’s doing lol. Either ask for a trade or commit. Your team is 10 games out of the fucking play-in, obviously the team doesn’t want you to play meaningless games until you’re 10000% cleared given your injury history over the past couple of years.

Dame very vocally said he wanted to compete and spent two years watching their GM tank instead, despite promises to the contrary. When he couldn’t handle it anymore he demanded a trade. He caught shit because he only wanted to go to one place - Miami.

Milwaukee on the other hand traded for Dame and then traded for Turner to appease Giannis. Very different scenarios imo.

Dame had the balls to ask out

No, not really. Dame never wanted to leave and gave the organization every opportunity to build a winner. Our GM just refused to do anything and forced his hand. The Bucks did give up a lot to build a roster around Giannis, and now, after depleting everything, Giannis wants to leave. Dame wouldn’t have left under similar circumstances.

The Greek Freak turned into the Greek Financier real quick.

Giannis seems super competitive, optimistic, and I think he really loves MKE, but this whole thing has me questioning if he’s kinda dumb. Like how did he think this was going to play out?

NOPE, we would’ve been fine with it. Obviously some douchebag fans would’ve been mad, but if Giannis had just been honest about his feelings (maybe reference being sad that Jrue and Khris were gone), everyone would have wished him well.

This passive aggressive bullshit has been the absolute worst possible way to handle things lol

There’s zero chance to hold onto him anymore, because with all the double speak you can’t trust him even if he tries to make amends. You have to trade him for everything you can get.

I mean we will definitely come back around to him given time and distance, but if you told me 8 months ago I’d be feeling this way about him I never woulda believed it.

When he posted that wolf of Wall Street clip when the trade deadline hit, I imagined that meme of the dude crying behind the smiling mask

I feel like he wouldn’t have gotten much shit for just requesting a trade last summer. Now he’s dragged it out so much that even Bucks fans are pissed at him.

This is what happens when you’re surrounded by people who won’t tell you when something is a bad idea because they don’t want to lose their gravy train.

On top of that, he really comes across as someone who cannot stand being looked as the bad guy in anyway and doesn’t want the city of Milwaukee to hate him on the way out, “See, I did everything to show I want to be here!” The obvious irony to everyone but him apparently being that all these actions are just gaining the ire of Milwaukee fans.

That’s not to say I don’t doubt he did genuinely love the city. I think he did. But it really gives off boyfriend/girlfriend vibes who wants to break up, but doesn’t want to be the “bad guy” so tries to create a reality where the other person just gets so fed up, they are the one publicly saying they want a break up so they are the bad guy.

I mean tbf we really have no clue who’s actually telling the truth here tbh. We’re not behind the closed doors they could be lying just as easily as he could be

Joining the Kalshi board has already ruined it so he should just take the mask off already

I think both sides have blame. Giannis has acted like a premadonna during this, and the Bucks hired Doc Rivers to compete for a title…BWAHAHAHAHA

He is doing a terrible job at that if that’s the case

Call your GM a liar too

Crazy how that wild boy shit looks exponentially better than what Giannis has been doing the last year lol like dude really should’ve just shown up in a fat suit instead

What? It’s not that we don’t care about him, we’re just trying to do what’s best for both parties 

We quite literally destroyed our entire future to make Giannis happy but apparently we don’t care what happens to him hmmm okay

You got it backwards bud

How have the bucks mistreated him? Are you just saying dumb shit to be dumb?

Ja killed his own trade market

I feel like the Trae Young trade killed the Ja trade market. When one undersized guard got traded for effectively nothing it did not bode well for the prospects of another.

There was never a Ja trade market to be fair

I’m sorry but Ja’s terrible behavior and inability to stay healthy tanked his trade market, not Giannis lol

kalshi is definitely telling him to drag this out as long as possible

To quote Bill Simmons quoting Cocktail, “everything ends badly, otherwise it wouldn’t end”

All totally unforced, too. He could have posted a page long thank you to the Milwaukee journal, said he wants to compete, and that was that.

Why the hell did he do all this weird shit is beyond me. Like I’m a Bucks fan dude. I’m not gunna follow you wherever. I don’t care about the NBA soap opera. Shit or get off the pot

Preach

And will immediately jump ship to whatever team he goes to, just to watch the same exact thing happen

Thunder fans knew Ous has been ready for the moment. Rollins however has been championing this Sisyphean task all season and should frankly be commended for it

The “Bronny” effect

It’s not money, It’s the admiration that “changes” people.

Chicago and golden state still like Jimmy

No? Philly still loves him. Miami still loves him. Pretty sure Chicago at least has a positive opinion. It’s literally only Minnesota that doesn’t like him.

I’m talking about fanbases though, in sure the FOs feel differently

Which by all accounts means that Giannis played a part in Giannis’ dissatisfaction because he’s the biggest reason Griffin got fired and Doc hired.

They were not doing fine with Griffin. The team had quite on him. Griffin was not the answer doc was also not the answer. Both choices could be bad.

And rodgers was a diva leaving too
