Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo and agent Alex Saratsis have initiated conversations with the team about the two-time MVP’s future, reports Shams Charania of ESPN.
According to Charania, Antetokounmpo and Saratsis are talking to the Bucks in the hopes of determining whether the forward’s best fit is in Milwaukee or elsewhere, with a resolution expected in the coming weeks.
Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee became the subject of intense scrutiny over the offseason after the Bucks were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for a third consecutive year and lost Damian Lillard to an Achilles tear in the process.
Although the 30-year-old has repeatedly expressed his love for the city and the franchise, he has also made it clear that being in position to contend for titles remains his number one goal. Antetokounmpo was said to have “serious questions” about the Bucks’ championship potential and spoke to the team over the summer about the idea of exploring a possible “alternative path forward.” At that time, he reportedly conveyed that he’d be interested in the Knicks if he were to leave Milwaukee.
The Bucks briefly engaged in trade talks with the Knicks, according to reports, but weren’t compelled by what New York had to offer and gained no traction toward a deal. Instead of moving Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee’s front office did its best to try to upgrade the roster around him, waiving and stretching Lillard’s maximum-salary contract in order to create cap room to sign center Myles Turner, one of the top free agents on the market.
According to Charania, Antetokounmpo reaffirmed his commitment to the Bucks ahead of the season and came into camp expecting to evaluate how the first 25 or so games of the season went before making any decisions about his future. Asked during the preseason about the report linking him to the Knicks, Giannis expressed confidence in Milwaukee’s revamped roster, but didn’t deny the rumor and didn’t rule out the possibility that he could change his mind “in six, seven months.”
After a 4-1 start this fall, the Bucks have slumped, losing eight of their past nine games and dropping to 9-13 on the season, which puts the team outside the top 10 in the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee has outscored opponents by 8.8 points per 100 possessions when Antetokounmpo is on the court, but has a dismal -11.0 net rating when he’s not on the floor.
Sources who spoke to Charania described the Bucks’ recent skid as frustrating for Antetokounmpo and the rest of the organization, with one source suggesting the “writing is on the wall” for a potential change of scenery for the superstar forward unless Milwaukee can begin turning things around in the very near future.
[UPDATE: Giannis Antetokounmpo Leaves Wednesday’s Game With Apparent Calf Strain]
While the Knicks had something of an exclusive negotiating window in the offseason, that wouldn’t be the case if Antetokounmpo decides to ask for a trade this winter, Charania writes. A number of teams around the NBA would be expected to get involved in that scenario — the Heat and Nets are among the clubs who have repeatedly been described in the past as potential suitors for Giannis, though there may be others who could offer more compelling packages.
Antetokounmpo, who will celebrate his 31st birthday on Saturday, continues to produce at an MVP level so far this season, averaging 30.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 6.4 assists in just 30.8 minutes per game, with a shooting line of .639/.435/.630. His maximum-salary contract includes a cap hit of $54.1MM this season, with a guaranteed $58.5MM salary for 2026/27. He holds a $62.8MM player option for ’27/28 and will become extension-eligible next October.
They can have anyone besides Luka.
GSW can offer more and a better picks package if they put everyone but Curry on the table.
Both teams can easily get outbid in s open bidding. Kuminga as the lead piece factually wont be anywhere near the top of the bidding ! Bucks like Everyone objective would definitely take reeves over him as a lead piece! But it’s all moot unless he ask to go directly to either team they will easily get outbid
If Kuminga is your best piece then better stay at the back of the line. If the dubs will trade all of their picks without any protection, sure ill listen.
Thing is I’m not even sure Kuminga moody and buddy and or Payton with multiple first can even land them a second tier star let alone Giannis ( if bucks have a say) not even sure it lands a trey Murphy
Fact is no team views the Kuminga as s potential star let alone superstar! He maintains the same underwhelming trade value he had this summer
That’s a weekly conversation isn’t it?
Cry baby will be a Knickerbocker before the weekend ✌️
Those morons won’t give up Brunson (a much worse player than Giannis).
Brooklyn as part of 3 team?
Are you always wrong on purpose?
Probably would have to be OG , Mitch, pick swaps and more
Adam Silver will let know
Minnesota perhaps?
They gave up all their pics for Rudy Gobert. I don’t think so. Not enough of a shooter to team up with the slashers and especially Gobert around the rim.
It probably needs to be a 3 way deal.
Hypothetically, Giannis to Minnesota, Randle to Bulls, Coby and picks to Milwaukee (along with Dillingham or other complimentary pieces that Milwaukee would covet).
Randle would address our rebounding issue along with the PF issue and size issue, Milwaukee gets expiring deals on Coby and then gets a few young players in Dillingham and others to build with along with Bulls picks, Wolves pair Edwards and Giannis with McDaniels or Gobert.
That would probably work. Good call.
I think the word on the street is that Giannis wants to go to New York. If it’s not Milwaukee, I think that’s his desired place to play.
It’s my opinion the bucks would honor that request and take as much of what the Knicks could give them as possible. No other team is in play.
Atlanta
Very few attractive sweeteners to offer for sure. If it’s just Randle and dillingham, yes please and thank you. Connelly is creative and I’m sure could figure out something.
I actually like the fit tho. We need another focal point offensively. Teams are literally doubling Ant at half court. Can’t do that with Giannis.
Bulls
Finnerty- the Bulls have the expiring deals and draft picks to get it done I would think. This idea excites me a whole lot more than AD does that’s for sure. Giddey, Matas, Giannis and re sign Vuj and you have a nice start. I like the idea. Getting him from the Bucks though could be tricky as I doubt they would want him that close to home.
How funny would it be if he ends up on GSW after how mad you all got on here at me and all the arguing you dudes did with me, just for bringing it up. Crazy. Steph and Giannis are the perfect duo. Shame you all hate me so much you are willing to argue otherwise.
A return of senior citizens isn’t practical
Davey, He cannot be traded to the Warriors.
When are you going to understand that?
I’ve been saying it for three years and you’ve been reading it for three years and you’ve not opened up your mind to receiving the information for three years.
Yup. Lakers got a much better chance because of Reaves who is having a breakout season.
Gary, Giannis can absolutely be traded to the Warriors. You are simply wrong. Again. Maybe its because you are so negative all the time.
Davey you misrepresent people. I’m going stop explaining myself to you.
How am I negative all the time?
I’m positive on Steve Kerr. You’re negative.
I’m positive on the Warriors getting better from here on out.
I’m positive They can make a good trade at the deadline and make a run for it.
I’m positive that the coaching staff is able to develop players that have talent and want to improve. (Moody’s shooting is a great example.)
So I’m negative all the time? You are just a piece of work.
You are negative about Moses Moody literally every day. And its all because I like him as a player. You are doing this out of reaction.
Almost every post you make about GSW’s future outlook is negative. You lie and say it’s impossible for GSW to acquire Giannis, which is patently false. If every player except Curry is on the table, they can easily acquire him, and it becomes even more easy if it’s a multi-team deal.
I’m a work of ART, baby!! lol
That’s because Moses Moody sucks. Yes I’m negative on him. Doesn’t mean I’m negative all the time.
You misrepresent people and that is a huge credibility problem.
to the lakers for a 2nd round pick and a 12 pack of miller lite
Will the beer be cold? Its a major sticking point!!
Pretty sure Milwaukee can get all the Miller Lite they want.
That would be Old Milwaukee, Blatz, Old Style, Schlitz, and some others.
OKC has picks. That’s a very dangerous proposition.
Do they wanna give up Chet though?
I would in a SECOND,
OKC is already 21-1. They are not trading for Giannis lol. He doesn’t improve the team.
How does replacing Holmgren with Giannis not improve the team? Thunder are absolutely great and likely a long term dynasty without Giannis but they’re not gonna win every single game.
With Giannis replacing Chet they literally might win every single game.
You clearly don’t watch any games and just look at names.
Chet is a vastly better rim protector than Giannis, basically the best in the league who isn’t Wemby. He does this while stretching the floor, something Giannis decidedly does not do. They don’t need another high-usage driver who is going to take the ball out of Shai’s hands. They need someone who is going to compliment him offensively.
This reads as someone who didn’t even live through the LeBron/Wade Heat. Not one, not two… it was just two. They were very similar players and it was tough to keep a team around two max guys who did the same thing on offense. Everyone freaked out that they were gonna win 7 titles, and then they lost to cohesive teams that moved the ball, played defense, and won the math game. Everything the Thunder do right now.
We already had Giannis and Dame together and they had no PNR chemistry. Because Giannis is reluctant to play without the ball.
No happening, OKC has a 10-15 year window. Not cutting that by trading 21-23 yr old for a 30yr old that has injuries. Giannis is great but not worth it for OKC. Let another team tear down their talent because these moves rarely work now.
Which is why Giannis to GSW is the best scenario for both Giannis and the Dubs.
Agreed, maybe if they didn’t win the title last year. The narratives would be different, that they need another big name to get them over the hump. It’s simply too risky of a move now when they’re set up for the decade.
You absolutely trade the possibility of 10-12 years of competitiveness, for 5-7 years of absolute dominance. Their draft pick stockpile is too big – as in, there are only so many roster spots and minutes they can possibly give these picks in the future. They’re in the perfect position to turn surplus into a dynasty.
Yeah, I’m curious to know if they trade Dort and Hartenstein next year since they have options on them for just one more year. (side note: without making any major changes, they are currently projected to be 23M over the 2nd apron and owe around 181MM in lux tax … not sure if the ownership group will be willing to spend).
OKC have been under the tax for several years, including last year when they won the title (they won it, and the taxpayers paid them for it).
I think they’ll be all right with paying some tax.
iHart is a candidate to sign an extension for lower AAV but more money overall, imo.
The tax is nothing. Its just money. Its the aprons everyone cares about.
I would move on from Caruso, keep Dort, and resign Hartenstein to a lower deal.
They are going to keep trading the picks back until they actually need to use them. They have been for a couple of years now. Giannis just got hurt today. Not giving up any combo of 3-4 players to match salary and picks for some older, injured, and with limited offense. Giannis offense won’t age well with all the leg injuries. Chet already stretches floor better. Now if they could get Giannis for Ihart, Topic, Dieng ,Kenrich and a few picks sure do that. He is just not worth JDub, Dort, Wallace, Wiggins, or Chet to me.
Interesting from a NY point of view. Do the Bucks wont to be somewhat competitive or total rebuild going salary matching and picks? This determines who has best trade packages.
Small market team without their own picks: they’re not tanking. They’ll want proven players. So, we’ve got a shot.
Atl would be super cool
Trae and Tingus for G and Kuzma is a perfect salary match, they can pop in that Pelicans pick along with a few others
I think G wants a bigger market but ATL imo would be a sweet spot for him and they would be deadly
Yeah but the Giannis (and Kuzma) fit next to Jalen Johnson is abominable. Not to mention Dyson Daniels. They don’t have anywhere near enough shooting to pull it off. He would just be going to another Milwaukee.
Kuzma wouldn’t be in rotation, *he’s the David Price in the deal
I think they’d be more like a Houston Rockets than a current Mil – Think they’d be the best team in east
Giannis next to wemby would be absolutely terrifying. More shooting required but, absolutely terrifying defensively.
If he was going to go this route why allow them to sign Turner? It’s like telling your wife to go ahead buying a new house and sign for a mortgage when you’re 50/50 on divorcing her.
It is worth doing everything possible to keep the marriage together if your wife is as hot as Giannis is.
The Bucks will easily be able to sell the new house later (trade Turner for value).
They could just as easily keep him given they don’t have a Center either. They needed to replace their broken home (Brook Lopez) either way before the house collapsed (which it did).
I see why they did it for Giannis but I see your pinpoint Aces
To me the Dame Lillard / Jerami Grant one was way way worse
Today was always the most probable result
Turner still has sone good life insurance cash in value to justify the un ironically mentioned twice Dame b/o debacle l
Bucks have no picks and can’t rebuild
Og and Townes for Giannis
Towns at rheb4 and turner at the 5 lots of switching and three pointers
Og towns turner would give th bucks an elite front court and an identity
Giannis needs to be surrounded by four shooters. If he’s willing to play the 5, trade Towns for him. If not, keep Towns and trade Mitch & OG/Bridges.
The Warriors have up to 6 firsts (including pick swaps) available.
A team would have to be gutted to get sufficient value. It’s gonna be hard to do.
Especially in season. A trade like this would probably require more than two teams. It would be very complicated. I don’t see it happening until summer.
The knicks make sense
OG towns and whatever draft capital the knicks have left to offer
Brunson hart bridges Giannis Mitch
Bucks build around the best front court in the league
Og – towns – turner with kuzma and portis backing up.
They’ve had this talk before in 2025, let alone previous seasons. We all saw what happened then. Non-news from Shams.
He might be asking about getting Doc a promotion… Shams entire paycheck depends on juicy deets but they are no subsitute for actual news.
If Milwaukee are selling the farm, Boston should be in on Myles Turner.
Myles for Simons and picks? Is that the deal or would Boston have to add another player to the mix to get it done?
Turner is the kind of player that would fit in Boston, he can shoot 3s and blocks shots.
Yeah Simon and picks I would think from Bostons point of view. Essentially picks and future cap flexibility for Bucks.
Call me crazy, but I think that had Cam Whitmore not injured Kevin Porter jr. in the season opener, Milwaukee would’ve had a winning record right now, and things would look much more rosy for them. Non-basketball matters aside, that guy can play.
Myles Turner had 3 rebounds in the game against Washington, playing against Marvin Bagley. His 3pt% looks good, but he’s not having a major positive impact on their season.
And Doc Rivers can’t inspire his team. The group seems quite apathetic and out of ideas, very similar to how Phoenix looked last year. Interestingly, Phoenix were also one of the best shooting teams in the league, but didn’t play well overall. Milwaukee are this year’s version of that.
Just to clarify, the Bucks with KPJ just lost to the Wizards without Alex Sarr.
Which is a loss so bad it prompted this messaging from Giannis.
The first unit is good but they have no concept when Giannis isn’t on the floor. Bobby Portis was good enough to get them through those stretches before. He isn’t now.
Its a very flawed team given they have no true PG, no true SF, and no backup Center. It’s a bunch of shooting guards and a 7 foot Point Guard. Nobody that can defend at a hugh level. They have multiple dead roster spots as well between Andre Jackson, Amir Coffey, and Thansis.
I don’t know if you watched the game (I don’t blame you if you didn’t, I wouldn’t have watched it if I weren’t a Wiz fan), but KPJ looked fantastic. He was not the reason Milwaukee lost that game. They won the minutes he was on the floor. But he’s on a minutes restriction, so he didn’t play in the final stretch.
KPJ is Milwaukee’s 2nd-best player. They are a different team with and without him. KPJ is a better player than Tyler Herro, for example, if you ask me.
Call me crazy, I bet the Bucks come out a better team. Losing a generation talent that can’t shoot threes or free throws isn’t the end of the world.
Regaining cap flexibility with more players/depth is sneaky IQ smart.
Any team will need to take G’s clown bros
Ah right I forgot how awesome the Shaq trade was for LA
The Luka trade made everyone forget about the Pau trade
Giannis to Miami, heard it here first
What championship contending western conference team has a surplus of young talent and picks that MIL would want? San Antonio, Houston and OKC. Not sure what pieces fit salary wise, but these would be the most likely destinations if it were to happen at all.
I’d love to see Giannis and Wemby together. Imagine those SA vs OKC matchups lol
Just the other day Giannis was complaining of all the Bucks’ personal agendas. Glad he’s laser focused on the team alone.
Giannis for Lebron, straight up!😆
OKC and Spurs have the most to offer and would be the most likely to win destinations but I don’t think OKC should break up what they’ve built.
San Antonio on the other hand that would be scary, Giannas and Wemby, the best big man duo of all time, no team would come close to being able to stop them.
Atlanta should have some interest, but who do they give up and at what cost. You’d probably want to keep Jalen Johnson, which means goodbye Trae but he doesn’t have enough value on his own so do they throw in Risacher, or hood him and throw in KP and take back a Kuzma. Then you’re very forward heavy with Giannas Jalen Zach and Kuz. Plus would Bucks wants Trae when Rollins is balling, Risacher would be a must you’d think.
Knicks I don’t think KAT moves the Bucks at all and I wouldn’t want to part with Brunson. OG and Bridges probably doesn’t do enough to entice them.
Orlando could do something with Paolo and Black, that I think would be massive for the Bucks. Rollins Black Kuzma Paolo and Turner that’s a good core. But would Orlando go all in like that? Suggs Bane Franz Giannas Wendell, they’d still have Richardson Howard and Da Silva but they also don’t have many picks having gave up so much for Bane. Wouldn’t write them off.
New Orleans if they have the balls, Zion, Herb, Fears and Missi…. That’d leave them with Murray Poole Trey Giannas and Queen. Jose Bey and Looney off the bench aswell. Probably wouldn’t be enough to be a serious title threat but would definitely be a strong playoff side. Bucks would get a massive rebuilding package. 4 young guys Rollins Turner Kuzma all there they’d be good too.
We all want to see Giannis and Wemby together. Come on teams let’s make it happen.
Wemby to Milwaukee confirmed.
Ha. Nice 😊
Which team is willing to break up what they’ve built? Which team wants another $50 million dollar a year paycheck? Some I guess but not many. Our Celtics already have two enormous paychecks & I think that’s the future for most teams, 2 stars and the rest young and hopefully up and coming low paid players. It’s the hedge funds playbook and with private equity now buying sports teams I believe that’s about what the new owners will allow. Ballmer’s buy of a team of old injured, high priced stars may scare off others.
The knicks og towns and McBride for Giannis and portis
It’s a win win trade.
San Antonio could put together a really enticing offer without gutting their team.
I did the numbers… to match salary they would need to include both castle and harper… would they ever do that? To me that has “paul george disaster” written all over it….. outside of doing that the bucks would need to take 3-4 really bad contracts to send him to SAS and I can’t fathom that happening
DeAaron Fox….
Straight up Giannis for Tatum
Haven’t seen anyone say this so I will put a logical trade down that works for both teams and isn’t just “fan bias”….
Miami Gets: Giannis
Mil Gets: Tyler Herro, Ke’lel Ware, Terry Rozier’s dead contract (to buyout), and 2 future 1’s
Milwaukee gets a 25 year old hometown star who is a 25-5-5 player…. a 7 footer on the brink of breaking out and leads the NBA in multiple metrics right now… cap space with the Rozier expiring contract they buyout…. and 2 draft picks they desperately need
Miami gets to call itself the best team in the NBA while only losing a bit a depth to improve so drastically.
PS… I tested the cap numbers.. this trade works financially.
I think Giannis destination will just be between New York and LA, lol
so does every laker / knicks fan who thinks they are entitled to every player who ever played sports.. neither team has draft capital or salary players that would make logical sense.. but you keep going with delusions….. IE why would the bucks want 30 something year olds with long term contracts (which is also why many other teams named make no sense… only the Spurs, Heat, and OKC make logical sense FOR THE BUCKS (not giannis or the other teams)
Are you related to davey? Lol
no idea who that is but please do explain to me why a team in “transition” (rebuilding) would want long term contracts of players over 30 while giving up the best player in the history of their franchise?
Don’t think Bam and Giannas without a star guard would work but good mock trade idea
Why do you need a star guard? This is not 2017.
Davion Mitchell, Cason Wallace or Quentin Grimes are good enough to be lead guards on a title-challenging team.
Don’t agree. The three ball is still so important. Down double digits with time running out you look for 3’s not 2’s.
Daivon is behind Herro, Cason behind SGA and Grimes behind Maxey, none are lead guards
Heat have Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins, Pelle Larson, Jaime, and others.. all of who can go off for 30 and shoot the 3.. they also have probably the best defensive PG in the NBA in Davion Mitchell…. the heat have the perfect Giannis roster
I just don’t see it,
Daivon Powell Wiggins Giannas Bam
Sounds like little to no outside shooting and little to no perimeter threat. Clog the paint and shoot the 3 and you’ll beat this team.
Plus Bucks I don’t think are moved by Herro, Rozier sure as an expiring deal, Ware yeah makes sense but they already have Turner secured at the 5. Which ultimately leaves them wanting more than 2 firsts which Miami can’t do…
Wiggins, Powell, Davion, and now even Bam can all hit 3’s… what are you talking about brother? lol The heat’s bench is loaded with shooters as well.. as for the rest of what you said.. why wouldn’t the Bucks want a home town guy, who’s only 25 and already an all-star at half the cost? Ke’lel Ware is one of the 5 best C’s under 25 in the NBA already as well… ever seen him play? Imagine Hassan Whiteside with a 3pt shot lol (he’s still pretty raw but talent off the charts, you need to watch him play to get it). The cap space and draft picks are building blocks on top of that…. I don’t think another team can offer a 25 year old All-Star, a budding prospect, multiple 1’s and cap space.. but I could be wrong.
Spurs, they can make the salary work with younger players, and they have picks.
For those saying the spurs… I just crunched the numbers… to match salary alone they would need to offer BOTH Castle and Harper in any deal… I highly doubt the Spurs will do that…. (olynyk and barnes would be the other 2 contracts to match salary… all before picks)
Fox
This is wildly inaccurate, Spurs have plenty of high dollar contracts. Also there always is the possibility of a multi team trade. I always wonder if posts like this are purposeful misinformation…
What druuu said. Vassell Johnson Olynic Barnes. There are tons of salary combos that work even without Fox. Vassell, Harper and Oylnyk works for example. Or Johnson Vassell and Castle. Both teams are under the 1st apron so either one can take a little extra salary back. Salary is the easiest part of the trade IMO. Hard part is agreeing on value and getting Giannis to agree.
Replying to all of you… 1) The spurs will DEMAND at least one of Castle / Harper and would be morons not to 2) Fox is a just starting a backloaded 220 mill contract … it would kneecap their salary cap and hard stop any rebuild… IE they would need to believe fox is a top 10 NBA player…. which he’s not 3) I put myself in the shoes of the team losing their star.. not bias fans hoping to get that star… so would the bucks want a 220 mill contract, a dead money contract (Olynyk?) and 1 of castle / harper…. or would they say “we don’t want Fox” and start from there (which is what I assumed) …. Fox also has a bigger contract, yet lower stats than someone I think the Bucks actually would want.. Tyler Herro (who is a local and younger than fox)
Actual Bucks fan here. No matter what the trade package, if Giannis leaves then Jon Horst should be fired. He has totally mismanaged the roster (and an all-time asset) ever since trading away Jrue Holiday.
Ps not sure I’d trust Horst to pull off a trade anyway.
Your team should have never fired their title winning coach and traded for lillard…. if you hadn’t your team would still be est contenders every year…. bad franchises always find ways to stay bad (see chicago outside of the jordan years, lakers without prime kobe or lebron, knicks for 50 years, etc etc)
The best thing the Bucks can do short term is fire Doc Rivers. He’s awful. The Bucks should not be under .500 and losing games to the Wizards. The roster isn’t the best but it’s better than what their record is right now. New coach, maybe they string together a few wins and Giannis sees a future in Milwaukee again.
Pistons. He and Cunningham together would be devastating.
MIL is aware of their situation. They almost certainly won’t be looking for the typical package unless their own future FRPs are re-routed to them. Nobody cares about the FRPs of the kind of true contender that Giannis is going to be willing to extend with.
Knicks only. Final answer.
Slam dunk Laker. I can’t see any other possibility.
As much as I would love to see Giannis in MSG.
Knicks don’t have the young talent or picks to be able to pull it off ……..
Two teams Do Have the assets Bucks want and need. The Thunder —— The Spurs .
Both can pull it off and not miss a step.
It’ll be a three team trade. Knicks land G and his clown bros—the thing is, $55M and can’t shoot 3’s is a double-whammy.
G’luck figuring out a whole new team mid season.
Those have got to be the two front runners. I would throw Atlanta, Toronto, Detroit and Houston in as the next tier of teams that can put together a good package without devastating their teams.
“Giannis will NEVER leave the Bucks” – own up if you screamed this at me.
I own up to it. I’ve said it.
When did Giannis leave the Bucks?
He’s about to.
About to and left are two different things.
You count victories before they happen. Your credibility is out the window.
Hey Gary, I was wrong when I said GSW could trade 6 firsts for Giannis, as you cannot trade picks in back to back seasons, the other ones have to be pick swaps. I was wrong there and have now updated my language when I discuss various packages for Giannis to say “GSW can offer up to 6 FRP/pick swaps”. I cop to that. I literally did not know that. That’s why I come here. To learn. Like that.
There’s no way the Spurs and OKC trade for Giannis.
Not gonna happen.
They’ve been built the right way from the ground up. They can see championships in their future.
They’re not going to screw it up by adding a headstrong veteran who’s asking for a trade.
Why take a shortcut when you’ve already committed to the long way and it’s working so far?
Knicks or he stays home. End of story.
Davey 2.0 hoopsrumors comments…
👎 in perpetuity.
So funny to post this in this topic…a topic you all screamed at me would “never ever happen”…but its happening. I saw it months ago, if not years, but especially after this offseason. A “Big 3” with…Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner? Nope. That’s insulting. This Bucks roster was designed to make Giannis want to leave. This is how a cheapskate owner jettisons a superstar without openly saying it.
“Giannis is a Buck for life” you said.
I said “Giannis to the Warriors”.
Mark it down, dude…
👎
You count victories before they happen. Your credibility is zero.
My credibility lies in always being correct in long term plays on here. Like Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski.
You sound like my stock broker. This stock will be great.., over the long-term !!
If the stocks = ball-knowing, business is just fine over here
lol
YOU KEEP HIM
KAT …….. was on HoopsRumors scanning the comments. His answer was “you want a Freak or a Baller” tonight – 40 mins, 35 pts, 18 reb, 5 ast ….
Spurs just bought Villas on the Greek coast ……
How was Brook Lopez tonight for the Clippers?
Brooks career numbers are better than Al or Dra. And he’s a REAL center. Who is available ……
Take a few weeks to understand what that means.
The Red Stockings are calling ……
Yes, he’s been an amazing basketball player very effective. Tremendous on both ends of the floor.
But we’re talking right now.
Why would you talk about 2015 Lopez compared to 2015 Horford or Grey?
You make no sense. We’re talking the third brother. Not Robin not Brook but DNP Lopez. We’re talking about today this year.
What does that mean? “The red stockings are calling?”
Is that a dig of some kind? It’s a weird statement to make and I think it shows your attitude which is opposite of what you claim.
You don’t talk basketball you talk commenters. Red stockings have nothing to do with anything here, but of course you write it because your goal is to agitate and ruffle feathers instead of talking basketball.
I need to bring up that comment from last month where you stated
“I only talk Hoops and not commenters” lol.
It’s so difficult to take the high road with you because you are incessant with your ridiculous approach to commenting on Hoops and replying to others.
Of course you avoided the question. How was Brook Lopez tonight?
Crystal ball time….
From now til January 15: that’s when the Bucks, Warriors and whoever else will start talking about the mega-trade that moves Giannis to GSW, to pair him with Steph. Almost all other high-paid GSW players will be on the move, along with many of their FRPs. Watch Curry barely play at all between now and then. He sure gets the crap beaten out of him every damn game thanks to these corrupt refs, so he can pick whatever phantom injury he can to bide time til the deal is done. Then we get Giannis and Steph, the final boss, the final leg of the Warriors dynasty will be in place.
Curry can keep playing, he isn’t slowing down on-court, he is in the middle of his prime. Middle. He could play another 10 years in this league. He’s from another planet, physically. So is Giannis. Together, they just need competence around them, which is easy to find. This is Lacob’s dream. And mine (well mine also has being Kerr fired asap, which will attract more veterans, as everyone hates playing for him, apparently…Barnes, KD, JaVale, etc).
Tell your fanBoy he can use his phone to get real time info. Just by searching.
Giannis will never go to GS. They have nothing to offer Bucks. Best you can do. Is pray Kuminga value goes up. So you can get a good return on him. And add a center. At least this way you have a real shot.
Hey Knicks Al…oh look what we have here, it’s ESPN literally posting exactly my thoughts on the Giannis market. Warriors have the best package, the Knicks have a nonstarter due to lack of picks!

The Knicks stink!
Why are you three arguing? I like all three of you
Al and I were actually getting along until I called the Knicks FO clowns for not including Brunson in a Giannis trade. He should be able to take heckling and criticism better. Such a diva.
Gary is mad that I “refuse to believe” Giannis “can not be traded to Golden State”, which is just openly not true, and is now actually being supported by this ESPN article, proving all my points, repeating all my points I have made on here, incessantly to all the “Warriors are doomed and MUST rebuild while Curry is active or retiring” brigade, to which Gary is a card-carrying holder. Lacob will NEVER rebuild. He will always spend the most to bring in more superstars once the other ones leave. This is pure fact.
