00:00Did Giannis Antetokounmpo just make the decision and take it out of the Milwaukee Bucks' hands,
00:05whether they trade him, or if he wants to be traded, or if the Bucks make a trade to make
00:10sure Giannis Antetokounmpo is happy? It's been a disaster season scenario already for the Milwaukee
00:14Bucks, and Doc Rivers, he don't have any answers for this. But now Giannis tells the media the
00:20other night that he's a right calf strain, and he's supposed to miss four to six weeks. Ouch.
00:27Shocker, right? I'll give him credit, Donnie. He did come back after the first go-around of
00:37Giannis Wants Out, right? Says, I would never do that. I would never tell Milwaukee I want to get
00:43out. Plays a couple of weeks, right? Gets reminded how terrible they really are, and now all of a
00:51sudden, here comes the calf injury again, and now he's out another four to six weeks. Yeah,
00:56I would not expect Giannis to be in a Milwaukee Bucks uniform much longer. They will figure out
01:02a way to hit the reset button with that organization. Like, Giannis has been banged up
01:08quite a bit now. So if I look at this from the terms of the other NBA, because most people just
01:13focus on the playoffs and what that's going to be long-term, but anytime I keep on hearing calf
01:17strain, that just tells me it feels like the Achilles is ready to tear as well. If you're another
01:22organization, what do you do with Giannis? More importantly, do we see, like, the trade
01:26deadline is coming up in, what, a week and a half at this point? What do we think happens
01:30with Giannis? Like, if I ask you right now, Joe, on this day, Giannis is a buck February
01:347th or no? What is it?
01:38I don't think he will be. Although, listen, it's going to be very difficult, obviously, to
01:43move a superstar like this. But if they can move Luka out of Dallas, I can assure you they
01:49can figure out a way to move Giannis out of Milwaukee and kind of hit the reset button.
01:54And you know Giannis behind the scenes wants out. Nobody wants – that team is an absolute
02:00disaster. Doc Rivers is a mess. It's just not a good situation. And he doesn't want – listen,
02:08does he really want to be the guy that has to play 35 minutes a night and carry the team
02:13in an 82-game season? No. I think he's ready to move on in a big way.
