With the Miami Heat linked to Giannis Antetokoumpo, what would Milwaukee want in a potential deal? I know where they would probably start.

You just have to if you’re Milwaukee. There would be no circumstance where I didn’t if I am the decision-maker there.

Again, the guy is from Milwaukee, which brings with it his own set of personal fans. You then think about how many ticket sales that translates into.

That is on both sides though. He is surely loved by some people in his hometown state, but as we know based on his choice of Kentucky over Wisconsin for college, there are some there that don’t really care for him.

Either way you look at it, that’s a bunch of tickets sold. Some people will come to root for him.

Some will inevitably come to root against him. A ticket sold is a ticket sold though.

First though, we have this decision or deciphering to make. How do we feel about these rumors?

Is there any merit to them? Do we believe them to be gospel?

Those are calls that I can’t make wholeheartedly one way or another right now, but there is something to go off.

Late last season as the bubble got kicked off, we got a report from the same source on Bam Adebayo‘s status. Here is what Ashley Nicole had to say on July 12th of this year.

"regarding the reports that Bam Adebayo didn’t travel with the Miami Heat to Orlando and has allegedly tested positive for COVID … i spoke to him myself this evening and although he wasn’t in the bubble the first day the Heat arrived in Orlando, he is currently there."
