Since he might not get enough money from the Bucks, he went to say these words in order to put pressure on them by giving him some huge offer in order to stay on the team, he is giving them a chance to counteroffer what might he get from other teams. That's right, they need him this time and they should make him the face of the Milwaukee Bucks rather than starting from the beginning again and hoping to get the best player to bring them championship once again.

Last season the Phoenix Suns did not perform very well and you can see that they are still having a very hard time always winning when they meet the top teams in order to survive and reach the final.
Meanwhile the Miami Heat and Nuggets were the strongest qualifying for the final to win the title and the Nuggets won and took home the NBA trophy.

For this season it seems like the Suns will still have difficulty getting to the top with the players they have even though there are Kevin Durant, Deandre Ayton, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal who always make big contributions in every Suns game.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the stars that Milwaukee has and is it true that Giannis will really leave Milwaukee to look for opportunities with another team that could potentially take him to the top and win the NBA?
If this is true perhaps Milwaukee will have a very difficult time finding a replacement player like Giannis.

Giannis Antetokounmpo have the credits he deserved, I think is time for him to push forward and make more accomplishments in the league. He is a brilliant NBA player and has couples of achievements in the game. It's quite unfortunate that Milwaukee can't give him the necessary accolades he deserves, rather he needs to push for an exits from the team and explore more alternatives elsewhere. There's more time for him to developed into a more prominent player and ofcourse, all clubs would want him because he's a crucial player.

Yes, although they tried to sign Middleton and Lopez to say with the Bucks, I think it will not be enough though. Not sure but maybe there are some teams that after winning their first ring, something has change inside within them and this perhaps might have happen to the Bucks.

Although Giannis got injured, they have a big chance to win vs Miami in the first round but they were upset and you can see the frustration of Giannis that he is really mad to himself for not winning that series. So it seems he was burn already and so he wanted to get out and be a winner.

That's the best option—joining other superstars will make the job easier. Lots of players have proven that already, although they were criticized, but eventually, they got accepted. So, it's not new, and fans would understand if Giannis were to do the same.

LeBron joined Wade and Bosh, while Durant joined Curry and Thompson; both have won multiple championships.

Giannis' desire to leave will likely depend on whether the Bucks can have any success in the next couple of seasons or not. It's worth noting that Giannis has a guaranteed contract through the end of the 24/25th season, and the 25/26th season will be a player option. With that in mind, I think Giannis will stay with the Bucks for at least two more seasons, and if they can't win another title during that time, he will likely leave the Bucks.

That might do, overall, the Warriors is still on the pace where they will make an experimentation and if things won't work their way, I won't be surprised if they set free Draymond and Chris Paul to free up some space because either way, it's not giving the team the benefit they wanted. And more obviously, they might want to free some space so that they can have a spot for Giannis, you know, just in case the star will ask for a way out from the Bucks.

And there were also some speculations that Juan Toscano Anderson is back with the Warriors though. I just read it somewhere in Yahoo sports but they say when they interview Moody, they somewhat see the jersey of JTA hanging in the Warriors dug out.

If we can remember, he had a good year with the Warriors back then, him and Jordan Poole was really strong during that year. Unfortunately, he was let go of the Warriors and went to the Warriors. But if the news is true then it's a total flip as JTA is back with the team and Poole out apparently.

They really don't have that kind of power to stop a player from requesting a trade, that is their right but just like their right, the franchise also have a right to ask for a fair trade for their star player. But that is just an option if ever Giannis will ask for a trade as I'm seeing another option that Giannis might wait until his contract will expire and then the Warriors can get him without freeing any star players as Giannis wanted a team that can help deliver him another championship, and so if he will be traded before the expiration, that means that the Warriors cannot afford whatever the Bucks will say as they surely won't free Giannis without any decent exchange.

I just saw Shams reporting this as well. I don’t know exactly why Dwight got blackballed from the NBA, but I do have some clues… Anyway, I think he’s still an above average NBA center and I think he would be great on the Warriors. He is what they’re missing. He might serve as a good placeholder while they start getting their offense tuned for Giannis.
