Soon after we polled you all last week, Giannis had a lengthy one-on-one with The Athletic’s Sam Amick, discussing his future with the Bucks. You can read the full interview here and also my reaction to it, but the the main takeaways are:
- Giannis has never asked the Bucks for a trade, despite rumors he might already have
- Giannis will not ask the Bucks for a trade before this year’s February 5th deadline
- Giannis will never ask the Bucks for a trade, despite many thinking he will
- Giannis would like to remain a Buck the rest of his career
What never ceases to amaze me is that some, even after reading Giannis’ comments, are essentially accusing him of lying through his teeth. Amick even prods him that it sounds like he’s leaving himself an out, but Giannis shoots that down a bit too. Clearly, bad actors
are going to just spin this however they can, twisting themselves into knots with the mental gymnastics needed to distort his words. What exactly has Giannis ever done to deceive us? He appears to be a man of his word.
In this week’s Tuesday Tracker, we go back to the Giannis trade rumors well. Are you buying his comments from last week? Are you not because he didn’t refute everything or didn’t do so in the way you wanted? Also, was the 2-2 road trip a success despite a bad loss to a depleted Nuggets team?
As always, this poll will be open until midnight Central on Friday, and we’ll post the results later that day. Thanks for voting!
