Giannis won't like it if they trade him.

So.... when are we getting that Bobby trade?

Maybe I'm just low on AD at this point, but I think it's pretty clear he's just never going to be healthy. Do they have to extend him now?

AD is going to play no games for these guys.
Man what are the Wizards doing???

Getting that kind of value out of AD is some good work by Dallas. He was being talked about like matching salary...

Fischer saying the Bucks still may be in on Ja. That would certainly add some entertainment to this horrible season. Not sure it's worth much else.

I was hoping for a Bobby deal, but I don't think they do it if they don't trade Giannis. If they don't trade him they're probably going to at least try to convince him to stay and I don't think they can do that and trade a guy like that.

I think they do nothing if they don't trade Giannis. That'll probably be incompatible with the tank just given the fact that Giannis will come back at some point but I'm not super confident their pick will be top 5 or anything.

The Dame/Turner move should have been the final wake up call, like we can't keep doing this to ourselves.

It's putting the organization in a horrible position. It's either do more dumb short sighted stuff to try to throw some contender together or I'm out of here. No middle ground. No consideration to responsible team building. Just the same old pressure cooker they've been in.

I want the Bucks to trade Giannis because I think they need to get off the carousel of needing to act out of desperation rather than actually doing what is best to build the team. That last interview just ratchets the pressure up again to push for some short sighted desperate push.

You're back to desperation swings at inflated prices because of this pressure and all that does is lead to bad decisions. I'm not sure how that helps.

This kind of comment makes it harder too for them to do what they need to do to compete next year. They should trade a guy like Bobby, but will Giannis see that as not trying to win? They should tank for a better pick, but I'm sure Giannis wouldn't like that. This kind of thing just doesn't help.
Don’t think ownership can green light a GA trade when he’s saying this in public and on the record

He's been saying this forever. The only thing weird to me is that he felt the need to call both beat guys and say the same thing.
Another Rorschach test of a Giannis interview dropping this morning. I'm not sure I understand the point of this publicity tour but I'm not even going to try to decipher what he's saying or doing. Does he even know?

Yeah I don't know. Maybe. I think he's giving himself wiggle room either way. Hedging his bets.

Seems like where this is all heading.

Windy on Get Up saying Miami is trying to get another first to add to a Giannis deal. Yeah, no kidding. That's old news.

Everyone talking just makes me feel like they're trying to will something into existence.

Yeah the whole thing seems predicated on McDaniels being rerouted for picks but if the Bucks want him too that isn't happening.

People just hear what they want to hear. It doesn't help that every time he talks about this there's a little something for everyone.
