We as fans need something else to freak out/overreact/speculate about until the season actually starts in late October.
Looking around the landscape, what could possibly fit the bill?
Oh I dunno, how about some good old fashioned Giannis drama?
I don’t know how you couldn’t be.
Even if Its Not in Milwaukee"
hooked me in so fast it’ll make your head spin.
Could not have clicked fast enough.
The real questions not going to be this year numbers-wise it doesnt make sense, Antetokounmpo said.
But next year, next summer it would make more sense for both parties.
Even then, I dont know.
Him not signing an extension now should not be a concern for anyone.
There’s no need to extend now when the TV money and cap is going up.
You may as well wait until next summer when Giannis will have 1+1 left on his deal.
But what you should focus on is that next part.
Does he mean the front office making win now trades?
Does it mean how hard his teammates train?
Let’s keep going.
Youve got to see the dynamics, he said.
How the coach is going to be, how were going to be together.
The moment I feel like, oh, yeah, were trying to rebuild
He paused briefly before continuing.
There will never be hard feelings with the Milwaukee Bucks, he said.
Every single night, even when Im hurt.
I am a Milwaukee Buck.
This is my team, and its going to forever be my team.
Uhhhh…that seems pretty crazy right?
Throughout the entire piece, you keep seeing Giannis basically give the team an ultimatum.
They either win another title, or he’s leaving.
That’s pretty terrifying as a Bucks fan I imagine.
Winning an NBA title is hard as shit.
You need health mixed with a little bit of luck.
Hell, the 2021 Bucks title is proof of just how much luck/injury luck you need.
If KD’s toe was half an inch behind the line, the Bucks don’t win that title.
If Kyrie and then Trae Young don’t get hurt, what happens?
It’ll be interesting to see what route Giannis takes if he does want to leave.
At least that way the Bucks could get something back.
Anyone can give him that money at that point.
This is just your classic example of putting pressure on a team through the media.
Giannis has pretty much drawn his line in the sand.
Either contend/win titles, or he’s out.
