2025-26 Milwaukee Bucks Season Thread

Yeah the guy saying Giannis was not happy is Giannis wife cousin but he also has served as the mouth piece for Dame in the past. I am calling BS on Giannis being upset as it's just another thing in media trying to force Giannis out of MKE. If Giannis was calling Turner and trying to get him to come to MKE he was working with the front office because he knew to get Turner the Bucks would have had to make the move to get rid of Dame which means he was on board with the move if he was making a pitch to get Turner.

And to your point - the media continues to push for Giannis to be unhappy and asking to be traded because it fits their needs - they want Giannis in a big market where they can talk about him more. They don't understand that he's not like many of the other superstar players in that he doesn't like the spotlight on him and likes Milwaukee.

"several contending teams" reached out to Lillard's camp in the immediate wake of his release, and the Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers are all interested in quickly finalizing a deal.

Probably offer vet min deals for this year and 2026 since MKE will be paying him $50 million plus for next 2 years.

More proof that Giannis being mad is a lie because the team had to keep him in the loop on this was former Buck John Henson saying when he was with the team they were going to trade Middleton for Butler and Giannis said nope not going to happen.
