[Charania] Giannis is trying to ramp up this week from my understanding… he wants to play with his brothers before the regular season ends, he’s making it very clear behind the scenes that’s his goal.
Wait how is he ramping up if, according to Giannis directly, he’s already ready to play?
Giannis drama is a letdown 100 percent of the time
It’s not even a letdown, it’s just annoying now. Anyone with half a brain can see thru him
Bucks should waive his brothers lmao, dudes are only there because of him
This would be absolutely hilarious to see them waive his brothers immediately. Gahh damnit now I need this to happen 🙏🏼
That would be appropriately toxic.
I’ll never forget Giannis talking about how he can’t control what his fucking employed agent says. Total loser in that regard.
I said this in a different post but He’s a Coward. He tried to blame everyone and call them liars like media(shams) the FO etc all because he has doesn’t have the Balls/spine to say he wants out.
that’s why he’s pushing to play. he knows they’re getting waived this summer so he just wants a photo op like LeBron and Bronny
And Steve and Nick
It’s honestly gotten more annoying than the decision
Dude is the only player to deliver them a trophy in half a century,letting Alex have a make a wish moment with him on court seems like a small price to pay. Just compare that to franchises that give guys multi year overpay farewell tour contracts
The Drama - NBA edition
It’s just that though…..Drama
I’d cut his brothers once he says he’s healthy if I’m the bucks
Immediately. If and when he complains about it, suspend him for conduct detrimental to the team. If he still doesn’t understand that he doesn’t have leverage, trade him to Sacramento.
Sacramento?? To your franchise goat??
Detrimental to the team? Did he tell his teammates they suck?
idk if you’re joking or not. But its crazy to me how short of a leash Giannis has to Milwaukee fans. 25-26 is the first season Giannis is holding this team back and Milwaukee fans are already getting tired of it. I’ve always thought tat if a MVP, top 20 of all time player brings a champion to Memphis, he can ruin my team for the next 20 years for all I care. He can demand our front office to give away 10 years of this team’s future (and that’s only because you can’t trade picks later) for 1 last run that’s more likeley a play-in exit and I ‘d be on his side. And Milwaukee fans cant even sustain 1 year of him sabotaging the team.
This is absolutely not the first year he’s held the team back.
There’s a difference between sticking by a star who’s injured or past his prime. Fans have a decently long leash for players like that, so long as they’ve done something for the team. But jackassery and nepotism will sour anyone with a quickness. Ground beef is \(8 a lb, gas is \)4 a gallon. No one wants to hear a dude making $40m a year bitch about how he’s mad the team won’t let him play with his talentless brothers
Denver got that cheap gas with their gd refinery. I was there last week and asked my uber driver how Denver gas is so much cheaper than ours. Not under 5.50 anywhere around me in Washington.
I mean if you’re a fan of the team and a player actively sabotages the team you’re a fan of, you’re going to be upset.
I think in general bucks fans have consistently been okay w/sacrificing our future to appease Giannis, but it’s different when it looks like he’s trying to play for another team AND sabotage the buck’s present/future at the same time.
The modern problem of nba player fans vs team fans. Giannis is going to learn his story is second to a team.
There’s a difference between ruining a team and this
pretty sure u/sho0bydo0by is a minority among Bucks fans lol
I have a 25+ year tenure, so I agree with your assessment.
Were you there when they were the Fawns?
It’d be wild to have survived Bambi-Gate, get a chip, and now this
I love how the subtext of this is: “I want to go to a good team/serious organization, so this is the last chance I have of playing with my brothers!”
I was just thinking this. There’s no way I’d let my only tradable asset play lol. If this is his driving force, trade them. It’s not like they’ll be there when Giannis is gone anyways
Honestly I’d cut them tonight if I were Milwaukee. If he’s gonna go out there and say you’re lying as an org until he’s caught, and then goes “well now I’m trying for them” I’m getting rid of them as a punishment.
Then he just completely hijacks the trade process “I will not resign with any team I am traded to unless they are a contender”
And that’s different than cutting them once he’s healthy how?
And everything he’s done this year has hijacked the trade process, and he’s still Giannis. Teams will pay for even a season.
We need a no giannis rule on this sub until he gets traded or signs an extension
Nah this is hilarious
We need a new La*ar *all rule for Giannis
I really hate this insider drive media we have today. I hope Giannis gets traded to Memphis, apparently it suck’s there
But then he doesn’t have to stay in the hotel
Well I hope he gets traded to the team who plays Memphis the most then.😁
Spurs it is!
Fuck
I honestly cannot believe that this 4-star hotel sucks so much that it causes this much talk. I can’t help but feel like NBA players are showing their ass at how out of touch they are with this.
That is all it really is. If a city doesn’t have the best of everything (5 star hotels, amazing restaurant options, etc.) they will complain. Like they are so miserable for the 1-3 days per year that they visit.
He has to live at Graceland
Giannis being banished to a non contender is going to be such a relief and the perfect cherry on top of his “nice guy” saga
If his value plummets, which I think is going to happen, send him to Washington I kind of want to see him and Tre.
Trae/whoever/Giannis/AD/Sarr will be the best basketball ever played for four games a year.
That’s a team built by someone who took “You can’t hide Trae Young on defense” as a challenge.
Nico salivating
it’s crazy that he played with Lillard but still doesn’t understand that you can’t get the same love on another team. Plus if you think long term beyond retirement, he’d have been better off staying in Milwaukee with his family around and having his brothers employed by the team in some capacity than to chase rings elsewhere. He already has one.
Whatever team trades for him won’t be a contender. The team (probably GS or NY) will have to trade everything good they have and all their draft picks. And the guy can’t stay healthy. I don’t think Denver, San Antonio, and OKC are going to be afraid of Giannis and 38 year old Curry with a bunch of average role players.
Hopefully the Heat dont trade for him
This is way more toxic than whatever Jimmy was doing in Miami
Idk Jimmy tried to fight spo at one point
Jimmy straight told the world I can’t win with these scrub losers and then ditched a mom and his baby in FL and moved to California to lose with the warriors what a guy lol
Damn I completely forgot he existed
These motherf*ckers ain’t doing shit for me. Y’all soft like Charmin.
That’s better than this tip toeing fake shit
Amen. Get this clown away from my team.
He literally bad mouthed his current and former teammates. And said that Pat Riley was trying to manipulate him when he cried trying to sympathize with Jimmy when his dad passed. You guys don’t remember half that shit because you’re not a heat fan. Lol
That was before he asked for an out, right before the playoffs where we went to the finals
It’s hilarious because he clearly wants it to be less toxic than other superstars that have asked out in the past but in doing so it’s way worse than the other superstars.
He looks like a total dickhead
He wants to be the cool parent in the divorce and doesn’t get that ripping your spouse causes the opposite effect.
I’m starting to think he might genuinely be kinda dumb.
I don’t get why stars just don’t do it like how Harden has. I feel like most reasonable fans on teams of his have had no issues with how he handled his moves. He makes his point and sticks by it.
Bucks are out of money and out of options.
This has Portland -like vibes when Dame should have been traded but at the same time trading a player this tenured can only lead to 5+ years of hard times.
This is the most forced drama ever
At least Jimmy said he wants out instead of what Giannis is doing.
Maybe but 90 percent of it is purely media / Shams. Like he is considering leaving of course but we don’t need 30 tweets a day from shams to say that.
We are all Danny Green to this bullshit 🤣
If I was the bucks owner, I’d have him pack up his locker early & just pay the fine. Giving us such a hard fucking time… you want to play with your brothers? Olympiakos is calling your name
Kareem didn’t do it like this, and he brought a championship to Milwaukee just the same.
You watched Kareem win the chip? The situation sucks but it’s crazy how much Bucks fans have turned on him, the Bucks owe Giannis way more than vice versa, he could’ve won a chip in any city. Bucks gonna be irrelevant for another 50 years after this til they get lucky with a player.
All that is irrelevant.
Bucks fans don’t owe Giannis shit. He won a championship after the team invested assets outside of those allotted for those seasons.
You remember this? don’t try to spin it like he was 22 year old Bron dragging haphazards to the finals. Jrue Holiday was an all star before, during, and after the championship run. Middleton was respectable.
I’ll wrap it up with this
S/o Bucks fans, for 50 years they ain’t did shit but stay down. You slandering the innocent. Smh
Irrelevant how?
I mean the team he won with was objectively one of the worst supporting casts since Dirk.
If you asked Bucks fans before he won that championship if they’d be OK with putting up with this in exchange for a chip I doubt anyone is saying no.
So you think he was lying in those clips or what? It’s crazy when players look out for their own interests over the team’s the fans are immediately haters. Players gotta be quiet and humble and work hard and act in the best interest of teams, but fact is teams would move players the second it’s beneficial to them. Max players like Giannis would be worth more than their contracts if there were no caps.
Like I said obviously the situation sucks but him wanting to play with his brothers is a normal desire.
Subjective, is the term you use when you’re basing the statement on your opinion.
I added the clips bc 1) you were talking like he brought the bucks more than a single championship. “They owe him far mor… blah blah”; it was dope that he finally got over the hump against the clearly outmatched Suns team, but he didn’t bring them their first and only chip. He got multiple max’s + plus his brothers on the team (neither better than bronny but idrc).
Not only did he balk at setting up the franchise he claims to love for the future, but he went on to bring a NBAPA charge against them and reported them to the league. That’s what he does when he doesn’t get his way, but on the flip side he wants the bucks to do something special for he and his brothers?? wtf
That’s why it’s irrelevant*
damn bro rent out a stadium, invite all your nba buddies and you got yourself a game. man forgets it’s a workplace not the amusement park lol
And the Bucks have 0 incentive to do what he wants since he’s mostly likely gone anyways?
Right?! I don’t understand this man. Dude literally just got the NBAPA and the league office involved by allegedly misrepresenting what the medical staff had proposed (3v3 scrimmaging). The Bucks have mortgaged their future 3 separate times to give him help. After all the blame-shifting comments and PR management he’s attempted–making Bucks employees and fans miserable the whole time–why the hell does the org care an ounce about him playing with his brothers before he gets traded and starts championing a new team?
playing at the highest levels with his bros is probably a childhood dream. whats wrong with it? the bucks season is over anyway they got nothing to lose
His brothers are ass and are only on the team to placate him in the first place, also he’s already played with them. Thanasis been on the team for years, we just talking about Alex? He’s been signed and waived multiple times the last couple years and has been with the team on a two-way since October
I mean the point is it’s their last chance. Giannis is being traded and his brothers could be out of the league.
If a GM risked a Giannis haul so that he could play with his d league level brothers, send him to Azkaban lmao
Can the GM force a healthy player to sit? Like could he bench Giannis and just accept a fine?
No, the league forced the pelicans to play Davis after his trade demand
They will be out of the league. No other team is gonna do what the Bucks did for him / them.
Idk I could see Thanasis taking up the 15th man spot on Giannis’ new team if they don’t have anything better to do with it, he is a genuinely great locker room presence.
Alex will never sniff an NBA floor again though for sure.
Lmao that’s a joke, plenty of team would’ve done that for him in return for a chip. The situation sucks but at the end of the day Giannis could’ve won a chip anywhere and the Bucks will be irrelevant for another 50 years.
We have the same number of championships… you’re also in a 50+ year gap with no championship hopes in sight.
My point was if you tell me tomorrow some superstar is coming and winning a chip for NY but in exchange at the end of his tenure here he’s gonna be annoying for the team, every person in New York is taking that.
Id wager same for Bucks fans before he won the chip. It’s just kind of crazy how quickly fans hate a player for finally putting their own interest over the team’s when teams have no problem cutting players the second they’re not worth it. Again it sucks but him wanting to play with his brother is not that crazy, it’s not some Jimmy on the Wolves or Antonio Brown situation.
They shouldn’t be in the league in the first place
I think we’re talking specifically about all 3 playing at the same time, which would be cool regardless of whatever outside noise is surrounding this. Throw them out there for a quarter, not much to lose atp
“It’s a blowout but let him play a couple more minutes, not much to lose atp” thibs on derrick rose on Apr 28, 2012 with 3 mins left in the game
Fade me
There’s a reason you have to go back 14 years for your go-to example here. The risk isn’t zero but it’s pretty fucking low.
Not low enough. Bucks have horrific luck, don’t tempt it.
I mean “let me play for funsies with my brothers” who are on nba contracts to please Giannis in the first place? I’d tell him to fuck off stop trying to take advantage
Bucks are 100% trading him and he’s been hurt like 5 times this year so I’m sure the last thing they want to deal with is teams bringing up an injury he picked up in the last game of the year
Bro is clowning the bucks so hard lol this is some diva shit. Just give him a game in a pro stadium where his brothers can larp as nba players with big bro, that’s only half the line up what’s the big deal
Because if he wants out, finw, but give them a chance to assure their asset. If he wants out AND tears his achilles, that’s fucking both of them, Milwaukee mostly.
He gets hurt and loses all trade value
What if he rolls his ankle or something
He’s been an asshole to the Bucks organization this season.
Play with your brothers on the Greek National Team. One more torn Achilles and the Bucks are beyond fucked.
Bucks be funny and waive his brothers last game of the year.
Unserious person
I could care less. 2 years of this bullshit hope he just stays with the Bucks
What’s with all the masquerade? Wouldn’t it be easier to just come out and say you’re heading to Miami or something, then buy the Bucks with the money the fourth brother bets on Kalshi that Giannis stays in Milwaukee? Then you make a grand announcement that you always called Milwaukee home, you re staying, and, by the way, buying the franchise. I know the rules forbid being a player and an owner at the same time, but I’m sure he can somehow convince Silver to pull off this…aspirational deal.
Giannis about to reenact Jimmy Butlers Timberwolves scrimmage, but it’s just him and his brothers vs the starters
Go play with your brothers at the YMCA
lol Danny Greens face through this clip
Please cut his brothers. Really burn that bridge.
Ramping up with 6 days left in the season is so funny. This guy is so lame
I miss the kuminga saga. Atleast they had funny moments like a family member eating too much free food.
Giannis trying to come up with any excuse to get out of Milwaukee is funny af
Ramping up to play 1-2 games?
Cut em
Would lol if MKE released them both
This is one of the most empty efforts I have seen.
All the whoa is me, praising Joe Mazzulla, slap in the face comments have been manipulative bullshit.
Why does he want that? His brothers suck. They can play together at the Y in the off season.
Flagrantly insufferable
lol. Or is he trying to save face?
This is his only chance. He will be traded this summer.
He’s 100% playing the last game of the season and dropping 40.
Just let him do it. They’ll probably lose anyway.
Why does he speak like this?
“For family”
2 Fast 2 to 3 Antetokounmpo
Wasn’t he saying he can play now
Zzzzzzzz 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
Can we talk about the lakers though?
He wants those documentary clips
If ever there was a situation in which a team should not trade a guy to a preferred destination, this is it.
Giannis has overplayed his hand, and done a bad job of it, and I for one would be perfectly fine if the Bucks 100% prioritize getting the best return in a trade, with little to no consideration to where Giannis wants to go.
Cool, now someone explain to him how this interests the Bucks.
i’m so sick of giannis stuff and the whole offseason is gonna be about him only for him to pull some bullshit kelshi shit and stay in milwaukee to be on an average team and not play due to injuries. fuck giannis
That’s a great goal, but the Bucks don’t have any obligation to let him fulfill that goal. I’m sure he can make it happen at his next team.
