  1. Jrue or Grayson would still be the 3rd best player on this squad. Time to see what they can get for Giannis on the market. No sense keeping him

  2. So now the NBA gets what it has wanted since Giannis became a star . He will be traded to a big market . How dare the talent breeder small market team try and keep their star and build a contender . Odd No matter what stars the Bucks get on the team they forget how to play . Suddenly they cannot shoot , play D pass communicate they just become mediocre. The refs punish them by allowing the other team to pummel them under the boards and blow the whistle when the bucks play the same way . If the NBA was conspiring to get fans to lose interest in a team this is how it would go . Breeder teams cannot step out of their talent feeder roles and try and win with the big boys !

  3. I am seeing a heavy amount of overreaction from Bucks fans to the extent of saying Giannis is the problem and need to get traded. What is going on??!!!!

  4. Heres what to do. Ship Dame off to Atlanta for Trae Young. Send Middleton for Wiggins. Send Bobby Marjon the first round pick and AJ for Marcus Smart.

    That will give you Brook Giannis Wiggins Smart Young. Suddenly, you can just kinda hide Young in a corner, use Wiggins and smart to go over screens switch let brook play zone drop. Still would have Prince and Delon off the bench. Gotta have perimiter and wing defense to cover up for Dame. It's really quite simple.

  5. Said consistency was going to be the Buck's biggest problem. Even if your ceiling is incredibly high–let's say even if you had the best ceiling–you'd still need to win 4/7 in the playoffs.

  6. I'm not sure Giannis and Dame will ever be able to gel the way we all initially imagined they would. Dame needs an entire offense to revolve around him. Giannis needs an entire offense to revolve around him. It's two extremely ball dominant players that still look very uncomfortable together. You can't always just throw two superstar players on the same team and expect their styles to work well together and translate to wins. Factor in our age along with our two superstars inability to play together, and this team might be destined for failure. If they don't figure it out this season then it's surely time to blow it up in the offseason.

  7. I’m so surprised. We don’t have an aging roster, we have an aged roster. A roster that was old 3 years ago. We have a GM that can’t find young talent if it smacked him in the face. We have a coach that doesn’t know how to utilize his players.

    All offseason we heard that “they just needed a training camp together” “we needed free agents that complemented dame” “they just needed time to build chemistry”

    We are 3 games into the season and not a single thing has changed from a year ago. Fortunately I never got my hopes up.

    Sorry giannis that we wasted your career

  8. The Giannis – Dame experiment didn't work out. And it will never be. Their mising a link wich is a play maker to set the team right. Oh, and a serious coach

  9. It seems to me our issue largely is that we play to the level of our comp, combined with being vulnerable to younger hungrier players/teams. I think we all knew that from last year. What does that mean? IDK, probably not good though

  10. I've been saying this for a few years now, Jabari Parker really hurt this team, that was supposed to be Giannis running mate, they were supposed to grow together, Embid would have been a better pick, instead, Giannis didn't really grow as a player and no one taught him the game. Ultimately it was bad management and coaching, just like Democrat rung cities over decades, the cities get run down by the leadership, and no one realizes what the problem is

  11. Every average player like a random cam thomas becomes Prime Kobe Bryant against us. We are so easy to beat, so bad in rebounding, so slow on defense. It's crazy really such a disappointment. We're not going anywhere with this team

  12. Bucks been terrible the whole Giannis makes you a contender isn't true anymore.. the team do well to be a top 6 seed.. Dame will be gone and they gonna have to shake up the rooster meaning Kris and maybe Brook aswel.. Gonna be a humbling season
