The Bucks actually traded Giannis so of course we stayed up until 1 am talking about it.
Fun mix of rational trade evaluation and dealing with the emotions of trading a franchise icon.
Yes we’ll continue to be the Gyro Step: a Milwaukee Bucks podcast

You might think wow the Bucks are running Giannis ragged. But he is doing this in less than 33 minutes per game.
Unreal production. Best in the world.
GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO IN HIS FIRST FOUR GAMES:
37 PTS 8 REB 7 AST 2 BLK 1 STL
40 PTS 14 REB 9 AST 2 STLS 2 BLK

If the Mavericks just did this, unprompted by Luka, this is immediately one of the worst few trades in NBA history. 25 year old annual first-team All-NBA guy who just let you to the freaking Finals. Just cannot fathom why you’d ever even consider trading a player like that.

People forget Giannis literally jumped over Tim Hardaway Jr in an alley-oop and then blocked the Bucks from selling a shirt about it because he thought it was disrespectful. He is really like this and always has been.
Giannis says today was the first time he’s seen the replay of his block on Deandre Ayton, and it only happened during the team’s film session.
“When you talk about the past, that’s your ego talking.”

Rich Paul said "I think [AD is] one of the better passing big men in our game. In my opinion, this is what makes him different from Giannis."
AD, in his seven-year career: 982 assists
Giannis, in the last three seasons alone: 1,219 assists

Confirmed Giannis won't be unanimous first-team All-NBA for the first time since the 2017-18 season. Five straight seasons.
Giannis just posted the first 30 ppg on 60% from the field season EVER and was the only reason the Bucks remained a top 3 seed in the East. God damn shame.
Just submitted my 1st Team All-NBA and here’s what it looks like
1. Jokic

JJ Redick had Joel Embiid on his pod and JJ said Embiid & KD are 2 of the best 3 players and that Jokic was the third in his opinion.
Embiid couldn't believe it: "Where's Giannis? That's the Finals MVP. Two time MVP, Finals MVP, that's crazy. That's deadass disrespectful. Wow."

Bucks owners spent $25 million on new houses in 2020 but refused to pay PJ Tucker $15 million over two years to maintain a core that just won a title with prime Giannis on the roster. Hard to be anything but disgusted.

Blaming Shailene Woodley for Aaron Rodgers' choices is a weirdo misogynistic move by the way. Don't do that. I know GB fans have been trying to pin Packer problems on his significant others for years now, but Rodgers is a big boy who makes his own decisions.

Giannis said he plans to go out to Portland and spend time with Dame once his rehab is over, plus Doc, and he's done that with Khris and Brook too.
"We'll go, work out together, talk, sit down, just spend time. It doesn't have to be basketball, just spend time together."

If you started watching the Brewers in 1998 it took 7 years before you saw them win 75 games in a season. They just won game 75 of this season on August 12.

If the Kings really think they need to include MORE in a Bogdan for Kuzma deal Vlade needs to be out of there immediately.
Sacramento is among the teams that has tried to engage the Lakers in Kyle Kuzma trade talks, league sources say. The Kings know they would have to include sharpshooter (and soon-to-be restricted free agent) Bogdan Bogdanovic, for starters, in a Kuzma deal

Watching Giannis reminds me: on his way out of the Herd arena last night he saw a 19-year-old who mops the court in the tunnel. Giannis asks the kid how old he is, he tells him, and Giannis goes: “When I was about your age, 16 or 17, I was mopping too.” Then they took a selfie.

The Bucks, while keeping their best three players (Giannis, Khris, Brook Lopez), swapped out two underachieving point guards for Jrue Holiday, and added DJ Augustin and Bobby Portis for some playable depth, while holding onto Donte DiVicenzo. They are significantly better.

I find everything about this answer distasteful
Adam Silver was asked about the rising cost to watch a season of NBA games as a fan of a particular team, considering all the games on either cable or streaming services. He said that there a bunch of games that will go on free, broadcast TV, and that fans can also consume the league in other ways besides watching games, noting that the NBA is a highlight league.

I'll never forget Bobby Portis not changing his approach or attitude one bit when he got sat late against Brooklyn, just like I'll never forget Brook Lopez going crazy from the bench as Bobby made huge plays late in Finals games. Those guys just get it.

Shohei knows every hitter on the Brewers and can also name how often they go above 0.5 total bases or 1.5 hits plus RBIs plus runs too. True student of the game.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy: ‘I'm sure that most Dodger players can't name eight guys on our roster. No offense to them, they shouldn't have to know the names, but these are some guys that hopefully they know their names by the time it's over. You never know.’

Bucks are one game behind the Boston Celtics, a team that NBA media has fawned over as though they’re the 16-17 Warriors for two years now, despite Giannis and Jrue missing 11 games each and Khris missing 39. No excuses on this side.

Interesting narrative.
Game 6 Tatum had 46-9-4 and Giannis had 44-20-6
Game 7 Tatum had 23-6-8 and Giannis had 25-20-9.
Does that look like outplayed? When multiple starters for Milwaukee couldn’t get 5 points in those games with Khris Middleton out for the series?

Jon Horst can be the Bucks GM as long as he wants as far as I’m concerned. Not every move is perfect but Horst finds a way to add talent around Giannis. No picks, no contracts to offer, second apron concerns, no problem. Home run offseason. A+ No notes.

Please stop saying Giannis’ willingness to shoot is the difference between him & Ben Simmons. It’s a difference but if Simmons could get to the rim at will like GA the jumper would hardly matter. Giannis averaged 28 ppg this year, Simmons has scored 28 12 times in his career.

1) it's a regular season award
2) the Wolves are allowing Dallas to score 110.6 points per 100 possessions with Gobert in and 135.1 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) per 100 with Gobert out.
110.6 is what Boston allowed this regular season, 2nd best in the league. 135 is off charts horrible.

Let me get ahead of this: IF Bobby Portis leaves Milwaukee to sign a gargantuan deal elsewhere, it's not anything to be upset with either him or the Bucks over. He already gave up money to play in Milwaukee once and the Bucks' hands are tied with how much they can offer.

Giannis has the Bucks top 3 in the NBA through 51 games with Khris Middleton & Jrue Holiday missing a combined 50 so far. He is averaging 31/12/5 and is top 3 in scoring and rebounding per game.
Giannis belongs squarely in MVP conversations. Dismissing him entirely is ludicrous.

Only the Bucks could have a coach that NBA media shits on at every possible turn and then, when they fire him, it’s seen as an implosion. Always the least charitable coverage possible for the team in Milwaukee.

Great deal for both sides. Generational wealth for AJ Green and the Bucks lock in a starter and elite shooter with great chemistry on screens with Giannis for well below MLE. Hell yes
Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green has agreed to a four-year, $45 million fully guaranteed contract extension with the franchise, Matt Bollero of ProMondo Sports tells ESPN. Tremendous success story for the Bucks: an Iowa native who went from undrafted in 2022 to making NBA and $45M.
