Got Jrue traded after he played bad against the heat cause Giannis was to scared to shoot down the stretch.

Got Adrian hired and fired inside of one nba season cause he wasn't feeling it.

Got Khris shipped off to basketball hell.

They go home in the first maybe even second round he going to be talking about the team needs to get better or trade me for the 3rd straight season.

Giannis the GM everybody pretends Lebron is :wow:


And if anyone calls out Giannis, he'll just be like wow I just had a Krispy Kreme for the first time wow

Still can't believe this dude did a whole speech about losing in the first round not being a "failure" and then turned around and told the Bucks get another star in here or trade me :mjlol:

I forgot Kyle Kuzma was still in the league.

I'm always reminded of how he turned down a trade because he said his goal was winning.
Where was that trade supposed to be? The Mavericks like a year or two ago?

Bucks should of been traded Middleton when his value was a lot higher. I always felt like it was him that should of gotten traded and not Holiday.

You're right but they wanted to get Dame, so you couldn't keep Jrue. And Khris was already showing some injury issues so Jrue overall was easier to trade imo

Middleton's jumpshot still pure as fukk, but his defense has fallen off a cliff and he can't stay healthy anymore. I get why the Bucks wanna move off him, but Kuzma as a replacement is a severe downgrade

Mavs last year. They then pivoted and traded for PJ Washington instead.

Respectfully, I think the Giannis as GM narrative is overplayed. And for objectivity, I agree with you he does have a history of deferring in clutch moments.

Jrue's beloved in Milwaukee, but there wasn't a Bucks fan alive who wouldn't have flipped him for Dame. That was Jon Horst's call and people here went crazy for that deal when it happened. Any resentment Jrue had is aimed at the organization, not Giannis, because he's involved in the community and wanted to retire here.

With the Adrian Griffin hire, nobody really knows or agrees how that went down other than Giannis and Khris met the finalists (Griffin, Atkinson and Nurse.) Rumor has it he vetoed Nurse as the choice, but again, nobody knows for sure. Anyone who actually watches the Bucks consistently knew that Griffin had to go. He was way out of his depth and arguably the worst in-game coach I can recall us having. And I've sat through the Mike Dunleavy era.

Khris is my favorite Buck, but it's clear as day he's cooked - especially defensively. If Giannis is playing GM, he would've shipped Khris prior to him losing his ability to move laterally. It's also been rumored Giannis has vetoed past offers for Khris.
