  • Giannis is Apart of the Heat.. Now What?

    Former NBA leading champion Giannis Antetokounmpo has agreed to be traded to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro and 3 first round picks. This comes as exciting news for NBA insiders but Miami now finds themselves in a bit of a predicament.

    Even though they also acquired Bobby Portis, there have been questions about the NBA shifting landscape, motivation, and timing combined for another championship run by Giannis. Giannis is a hard player to come by.

    Many scouts just do not find a player like him and he comes with very high demands and tag prices. Giannis had the possible option to go play for the New York Knicks or Boston Celtics according to league sources but Miami and Pat Riley saw the best of him.

    There have been concerns about Pat Riley aging in the midst of still possessing a top head coach in Erik Spoelstra. Spoelstra will most likely be able to handle the duties when he did back with Jimmy Butler.

    Butler is a different animal whereas Giannis will fiddle out on his own violin of NBA defined traits.

    Fear the Deer

    The Milwaukee Bucks compiled a 30-13 record and fired new head coach Adrian Griffin. It came as a bit of a shock to the media but not around the league. It was a true send-off to the incoherent vibes felt in Milwaukee.

    Hence enters Doc Rivers. Rivers voices at his press conference almost a quiet disdain for the lack of aggressiveness on Milwaukee’s end. It is called, ‘This could not have come anytime soon enough.’

    The Bucks are on the cusp of something special. They may not be too far off but they have coherence based on their net rating– 10th in the NBA. Add in the excitement on offense with Damian Lillard, Khris Middleton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. They have the third-best offensive rating, scoring 120.1 points per 100 possessions.

    The Bucks are on a clear mission this year. Enter the playoffs this year and make it prestigiously sound with Doc Rivers. Rivers does not seem too far intentionally vague when he mentions.

    It is another time to now, ‘Fear the Deer,’
