Don De Dieu
Standing in the sun getting black as I want
First, hate to see to Dame go out like that. I knew it when I saw it, but it's still unfortunate to have that confirmed. He's a good dude and definitely has tried hard here under some crazy circumstances.
There's no real Bucks fan - or even most Milwaukeeans in general - who wants Giannis to go out like this. I'd be a little surprised if Giannis wanted to go himself. He grew up here. He's built and bought into the city (literally.) He's our greatest player and did exactly what he's supposed to: lead us to a championship. I honestly never thought I'd see that happen and be in person for the Finals.
Jon Horst (and the ownership) have done some good, interesting and flat out bad things. But I think the choice is pretty stark and there probably won't be any miracles on this one. Either Giannis stays and the team gets left behind over time. Or he goes while he's still relatively young and great, and the franchise resets. The standard and expectations are different now; this isn't the Herb Kohl era. Whether he's here or elsewhere, Giannis is owed the best situation possible. In a perfect world, he'd retire here. But that ain't the world we live in.
