What happens to Giannis’s brothers after he’s traded
This also applies to Bronny James. Where do these, make a wish, roster spot players go when their “anchor” leaves the team?
They will go to a nice farm upstate.
I can still tend the rabbits, George Giannis?
Of course you can, Lennie Thanasty…
[clicks Confirm Purchase on a China Eastern Airlines one-way ticket]
He’d definitely just go back to Greece lol
Damn this is way too heavy man
of mice and men is one of the few books I read in high school English that actually stuck with me. so well written
That’s Steinbeck for you. You should check out his other stuff if you haven’t.
What a book. That last chapter(s) are so fucking sad.
Why do you got to get killed? You ain’t so little as mice. I didn’t bounce you hard.
With pine cones all around. Overlooking a river.
I’ll miss him SO MUCH!
“Oh my god! Chi-Chi” -Ross Geller
Thank god. I’m sick of those Antetokounmpo kill shelters.
Somewhere near Rhinelander prolly
they gotta be off’d for the plot
To shreds, you say?
And his other brothers?
To Shanghai, you say?
I fully expect them to be on the Maine Celtics roster this fall.
It’s just part of the deal.
Ethical cap circumventing. Uncle Denis would never.
Kawhi has 1 year left on his deal. Unc is already planning
“Arizona needs trees”
To be truly aspirational, they would need to plant cacti.
I just screamed 😭
Thats so much funnier
Uncle Dennis would want the names of the massueses that Kraft used.
Thanasis is actually really entertaining as a G-Leaguer.
Tall. Athletic. Generally has a clue what he’s doing.
And then he takes a shot.
If he could do nothing but finish fast breaks he’d be a valuable NBA player.
Source: Was a Westchester Knicks ticketholder for a while. Thanasis and Jimmer Fredette were probably the best players I saw there.
G League STH is phenomenal work
Was an fun, inexpensive thing to do with the kids.
Also going to westchester every once in a while is nice
Totally can see that!
Lucky sob will always be employed wherever Giannis goes. Must be one helluva life
Thanasis becomes Milwaukee’s new franchise player.
Becomes? Acting like he already isn’t smh
The improbable hilarious scenario is Thanasis in Milwaukee wins the championship after Giannis leaves.
Kostas got a ring before Giannis did.
He should take Giannis’s jersey number lmao
Assimilation complete
milwaukee needs those jersey sales to stay up
Knicks legend thanasis
Thanasis will just sign with whoever trades for Giannis
It’s a package deal. The real prize is Thanasis
Secret sauce
All time NBA leader in claps per minute. That’s leadership right there
The first time he throws down an uncontested garbage time dunk it’s gonna hit like crack, trust me.
It’s like how the Clippers traded for Paul George in order to get Kawhi to sign
When Suns signed Zoran Dragic to appease Goran, they shipped him to Miami with his brother.
Waluigi ass sibling
Giannis brother are actually free agents.
Welcome to Boston, Thanasis! Here’s a green towel you can wave.
How did Goran get that much pull in two organizations 😂😂. He was good but not that good
Made all nba third team and they wanted to sign him the upcoming offseason, ending up trading him and zoran to the Miami heat. Shoutout dragic
He was nice that season!
I love how Bronny gets lumped in to this shit. Kid just played meaningful minutes in a playoff series win. Thanasis plays during garbage time in big games.
I remember him guarding KD for a possession or two in that infamous 2021 series ngl
Bronny is better, but he only got minutes because the Lakers are shallow, and even then he was 13th in mpg at 5mpg. He put up 1.5⁄0.4⁄0.9. Hardly meaningful minutes, and he wouldn’t play at all on the majority of teams.
Bronny actually looked playable vs the rockets in the playoffs. Keep sleeping on him
Yup. He put in solid minutes. He doesn’t deserve this disrespect. I hope he has a great offseason and shut everyone up next year.
I would totally be okay with Bronny staying as a project & fringe level player, he needs more confidence offensively and a bit better ball handling but he showed more than enough to occupy a roster spot.
I’m actually pulling for him to become a serviceable NBA player. That said, if he does end up getting cut whenever his Dad finally retires or signs elsewhere, I wonder if Bronny will bother trying to claw his way back into the league by trying to impress in the G-League or even go overseas?
He seems personally committed so I think he will. He’s not loud or boisterous, or has given any sense that he thinks he’s above that.
Yeah, that’s what I like about him. It seems like he’s putting in the work. That said, assuming he’s likely investing and growing the money from his guaranteed contract (not sure if he does influencer deals and other promotions), it may get to a point where the grind gets to be too much, especially if he’s more financially secure by then. In any case, I think it would be a major accomplishment if he gets a second contract.
he had a rough start but really exploded for 5 points and 4 rebounds in garbage time
Bronny will most likely stay a Laker. He played rotation minutes for us in the playoffs and did fine. He’s developed nicely since the start of his career and was the best of our developmental guards (Bufkin, Smith, and Bronny).
You mean what will happen to the fringe roster players currently on the Maine Celtics?
Public execution in the middle of Milwaukee if I had to guess

40 protected future lashes seems likely
👁️👁️
Bronny James is like 16x the player either of the other antetokounmpo’s are.
Hey now, Thanasty has a higher career high than Bronny. Gotta count for at least being 8x as bad not 16
And he’s still barely a bench player
I don’t think you’ve watched a lot of lakers games saying he’s barely a bench player is very disingenuous
Yeah he was ass his rookie year but he’s shown solid development and has a place in the NBA after LeBron retires.
He has a -4.6 EPM good for bottom 2 percent of the league. He would be maybe a 2 way player if not for his dad.
What would you consider barely a bench player if not Bronny? Hes not a full rotation player for the Lakers, and hes not like the 6th man or anything. He played 7 minutes total in the Thunder series. He played 10+ minutes in one game against the Rockets. The OT game he played 9 minutes, and does he play 9 minutes if Reaves is healthy? The other games he played 3ish minutes. This doesnt seem like a player they need to keep or want to have a significant role going forward.
most 2nd round picks aren’t bench players at all lol
Getting thrown to the curb
I would play them in the early season just to see them get cooked or to be worth something in a trade.
Get ready to learn Chinese buddy
Believe it or not, straight to jail
But can they at least pass go???
Do not collect minimum salary, do not buy any properties, do not place any bets on Kalshi straight to jail
They can learn mandarin
“if he dies, he dies.”
Hopefully they fuck off to the EuroLeague
Nah, they’re not good enough to play in the EuroLeague
While they’re certainly below the line Fringe NBA players, they would absolutely be able to play in the Euro league and bronnie James, even if his dad wasn’t LeBron would be on an NBA roster
Thanasis and Bronnie maybe, but when Alex was in Europe, he only ever played in local league games
In Europe, for sure they could play somewhere. In a Euroleague level team (especially the greek ones atm) almost certainly not.
They better get ready to learn Chinese, buddy… sponsored by Kalshi!
They go to the team that traded for him
Smh.. Bronny doesn’t deserve to be in these “make a wish” convos
Rumor in Greece is theyre going to go to Aris, a Greek club.
Firing squad
Believe it or not, jail
bronny is like 20 and has some non-garbage time minutes. If LBJ left the lakers I don’t think the org would be falling over themselves to dump bronny
The glue factory
They get toss out the arena like jazz from fresh prince
They get routed to a 3rd team in the trade, but Giannis still gets them every other weekend and during the off season.
Off to the waste bin
He fades away into a mist
Imagine needing to match salary for them lol
ToyStoryDrop.gif
Glue factory
They are going to Aris BC to join Kostas (oddly enough Aris is owned by one of Giannis’ friends)
indeed.com
Thank you for your service.
sechuan whales
they assemble Bronny and all the Giannis Brothers into one of the new Teams where they become the #1 seed and win the chip for 2027!
Immediately sent to the Gleague
“Naw it’s all good, just get in the car with Clemenza, he’ll drive you down here…”
orphanage
get ready to learn Eurobasket buddies
Believe it or not, straight to the Kings.
I’d rather go to jail
Time to learn Greek, buddy
They retire. They aren’t good enough for any teams to pay them, and their contracts are done.
They retire.
Celtics 14th and 15th man
They’ll be in the trade and will be sent to the G League team. Additional throw ins
His brothers have made NBA contract money already. They can peacefully retire
they have to stay behind at work at the AntetokounmpBro’s store
Package deal
Either send them to the farm or add them in the trade package.
The Kings give him a multi year deal for more than the vet minimum
Spontaneous combustion. Definitively.
It’s a package deal my friend
The freak brothers can stay with me, free rent in Miami. How you gonna say no to that? It’s either that, or off to the gulag (skyforce) because I ain’t wanna see Myron Gardner get dropped for these tzatziki bums.
Free Agency and then to the Hornets, Jazz, Kings, or Pelicans
they will be part of the trade package ofc
They’re transforming into Jokić’s brothers, with less balls.
Taken behind the shed
They might still have college eligibility with the current state of the NCAA
they get traded for 1 draft pick to wherever the anchor goes
Right to Galveston
China
All im gonna say is that if you think Bronny is a “make a wish” roster spot, think about the fact that he is literally better than players like Dalton Knecht, who was almost traded for a starting center last season. Bronny has potential, ESPECIALLY for a 55th pick.
greece probably. maybe thanasty can hold out and be a two way guy or something but I don’t feel like boston is gonna give giannis the extra roster spot for his brother. maybe miami would bc that team will have half a roster leftover but my best bet is his brothers go play in greece and chillax
The Bucks give their pictures to security with instructions not to allow them anywhere near the premises.
Most likely scenario, Miami trades for Giannis and then Boston offers a 2nd round draft pick to the Bucks for Thanasis. Giannis then doesn’t extend in Miami and joins his brother on the Celtics in free agency in 2027.
Bronny is probably decent enough that it’s not worth the effort and bad optics to buy him out
Going to be waived the next second after he’s traded
Assuming they’re smart, they’re probably just going to take their money and fuck off, invest it as well as they can and buy a house somewhere cheap and chill. They essentially got gifted however many millions they made, just realize that and run, don’t try to cosplay as an NBA star in China
He’s going with as a throw in
Thanasis: Retirement / Assistant Coaching
Kostas: Already playing overseas
Alex: Anywhere who will pay him
Bronny: He can actually play and has some upside.
They get cut
“Get ready to learn Chinese”
They will get fired obviously.
Back to Africa
Traded to the team their “anchor” is traded to, waived, or contract no renewed.
He’ll be putting the fries in the bag
I’ve been waiting for a Shawn Thorton replacement in Boston
Giannis will force them on his new team or demand another trade
Banished to the shadow realm
Waved where he always belonged.
This is why I was surprised Giannis wanted out. Hiring your players to play is a way around the max deals, no?
They get added into The Soup
Am I insane for thinking bronny makes a roster when LeBron retires?
Sacrificed to the basketball gods once their contracts are able to be cut or traded
They will no longer exist.
They going wherever he goes lmao at least one of them for sure.
Well Giannis isnt going anywhere
Seems like Boston has to trade prospects to salary match them into the trade.
He gawn
Bronny is more playable than laker’s 1st round pick
Buck will build around them
Get ready to learn Chinese
They’ll get renounced, maybe sign with the Celtics or head overseas.
bucks should be petty and have them benched in the g league lol
What happened to the Genius after they let Macho Man go?
Get ready to learn mandarin
Aris Thessaloniki
They’ll be joining the Las Vegas Union
They are put through the shredder
Didnt he become a podcast host
Bronny has already improved above many other bench players in the league, he will be fine. The antetokoumpos are out of the league though
Well Keljin Blevins is currently playing basketball in Indonesia.
That’s all you need to know 😂
Welcome to Jakarta Bronny!
Giannis brothers at least got size, bronny without Bron who’s taking
Bronny doesn’t know it yet but the day his dad retires will also be his retirement
Is it Giannis’s or Gianni’s? 🤔 these are the questions that keep me up at night tbh.
It’s Giannis’s in the states. One of the many examples why a possessive s is dumb as hell.
Is Giannis’ in most other parts of the world.
The same thing that happens to Bronny when Bron leaves LA.
Maybe they should join forces and create a super team
Bronny is a young legit possible role player, you don’t know anything if you consider him a “make a wish” roster spot
He’s pretty small for his position tbh
Yea that’s one of his weaknesses for sure. I’m definitely not saying he’s gonna be a star or anything, but he fits right into the NBA as a developing role player so far
Bronny is good enough to be a bench guy on most rosters tbh
Bronny isn’t even the worst player on the lakers. Let alone in the NBA.
He’ll be fine.
He’s pretty close to worst player in NBA based on EPM
Bronny can actually play dont compare him to Giannis’s brother lol
I give it two games before Bronny is cut once LeBron announces retirement
