Fierce Criticism of Teammates! Hello, Giannis! Completely Igniting the NBA Trade Market

“The whole team had zero chemistry and failed to stay united; some players acted selfishly, trying to handle things solo without seeking the proper passing chances...”

Following the Bucks’ 102-122 loss to the Thunder, Giannis publicly criticized his teammates on camera. The Greek Freak took just 11 shots, making 8, finishing with 19 points, 14 rebounds, and 7 assists. Kuzma attempted 12 shots for 9 points, and Portis took 14 shots, scoring 15 points.

As the only advantage for the Bucks against the Thunder, Giannis surprisingly ranked only third in shot attempts within the team. This was not just because some teammates tried to steal the spotlight; Bucks head coach Rivers’ tactical approach likely had significant issues as well.

Following Giannis’ public criticism of his teammates, trade rumors about him have resurfaced. Renowned AP journalist Tim Reynolds stated that all other 29 teams are interested in acquiring him.

Insider Siegel revealed,that if Giannis requests a trade from the Bucks, Warriors owner Lacob is willing to use every asset and do everything possible to position his team ahead in the race for this two-time MVP.

That said, Giannis has already clearly stated he will not request a trade unless the Bucks decide to move him. Those who understand know the situation well. Journalist Collier “explained”: Giannis is eager to pursue his second career championship but does not want to damage his reputation in Milwaukee by leaving on his own accord.

In summary, according to current reports from various sources, Giannis leaving the Bucks seems inevitable, with this year’s trade deadline on February 6.

So far this season, the Bucks have only achieved an 18-25 record, ranking 11th in the Eastern Conference, 1.5 games behind the 10th-place Hawks, facing the risk of missing even the play-in tournament, with their competitiveness now falling to the league’s lower-middle tier.

At 31 years old, Giannis is under contract until the summer of 2028, earning $54.13 million this season, with approximately $120 million over the next two years. This year, he was selected as an Eastern Conference All-Star starter and remains one of the league’s most talented and popular stars, making him the top fish in today’s trade market.
