In this week’s Tuesday Tracker, we pick up the pieces from last Friday’s Giannis injury amid more reporting from the usual national sources that Giannis’ time in Milwaukee may be ending by the deadline.
Here are the highlights:
- 85% of fans surveyed now want the Bucks to forget about making the playoffs completely, even via the play-in (they’re currently two spots behind the 10th seed).
- Perhaps relatedly, 66% want the Bucks to shut down Giannis for the rest of the season to heal his calf.
- 65% believe Giannis will still not request a trade before the deadline, despite the injury and the aforementioned reporting.
- 33% of our respondents think the Bucks should just trade him anyway, but 58% oppose a team-initiated trade. That’s consistent with a poll we ran on X, where “no” got 62% of the vote.
- The majority of fans polled want Milwaukee to trade one or both of Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis. 26% want to sell high on Portis for whatever they can, and 25% want to do the same with Kuzma. The most popular option at 31% is to trade both of them together for someone who makes more than their $34.9m combined next season.
Thanks again for voting! Check back on Tuesday for another slate of questions.
