Giannis trade drama a reminder that Jokic is last of a dying breed

Where there is smoke, there is usually fire, and things reached a boiling point on Wednesday, with Shams Charania of ESPN reporting that Giannis Antetokounmpo has essentially requested a trade. The exact verbiage Charania used was that Giannis and the Bucks have “started conversations” and are “discussing whether his best fit is staying or elsewhere,” and that “a resolution is expected within the coming weeks”.

So, in other words, Giannis has seen enough, and he wants out of Milwaukee. The Bucks are going to work with him to get him to a team he wants, while extracting as much value in return as possible.
