“If things go badly in Milwaukee, Giannis might ask for a trade”

After two seasons that ended with a painful elimination in the first round of the playoffs, the Milwaukee Bucks entered this season aiming to go one step further, taking advantage of the presence of two players who belong to the NBA’s elite, the Giannis Antetokounmpo and his Damian Lillard.

However, the “deer” have not started ideally. After 4 matches, they have just one win, while they count three consecutive defeats from Bulls, Knicks and Celtics. Of course, it’s still very early days, but for an organization carrying the failures of previous seasons, it doesn’t take long for patience to start wearing thin.

In fact, it has already started to be “whispered” that Mr John he’s willing to ask for a trade if things go too “wrong” this year, even during the season! As the journalist of “CBS Sports” argues, Bill Rittervarious executives of his groups NBA have already begun to consider this possibility increasingly likely.

“There is a feeling that if things go badly for Milwaukee that Giannis will be available for a trade and push to leave next year.” said Ritter, who also presented two of the destinations that sound like possible, namely them Miami Heat and them Brooklyn Nets!

We remind you that he himself Antetokounmpo had added fuel to this “fire” shortly before the start of the season, as he reported to “Athletic”: “We have in the back of our minds the possibility that this year will not go well. Yeah, if we don’t win the championship, the Bucks might trade me. Yes, that’s our job. This is the world we live in. This is the job, this is the profession we do. At any moment, if you fail, it could all be over. The same was true with the previous coaching staff and the previous year with the players we had. If you don’t do a good enough job, you’re done.”

“There’s a rising sense of confidence that if things go badly in Milwaukee that Giannis could be available for trade, would really force his way out of Milwaukee, in the next year.”@sportsreiter pic.twitter.com/9V4MovUmSw
