Bill Simmons: You have a superstar on your team that you guys have been just trying to trade for the last month apparently by reports. Giannis Antetokounmpo is on eBay now! Does anyone make an offer? Doc Rivers: It’s so ridiculous. And I’ve heard all these reports, you hear all this stuff but you don’t like it when you hear it because you know it’s not true, Bill. But still, your players hear it and everybody else hears it. And I remember telling you the story when I was in Boston: I’m on a treadmill working out. That’s when I could run still on a treadmill. And they announced that the Boston Celtics are about to trade Rajon Rondo I think to the Lakers. And I was like, ‘What?!’ And it was absurd. Like we had never had any conversations, but Rondo heard it, you know? And so that’s the only thing I don’t like about all this now. I don’t know how many more times Giannis has to say he wants to be a Buck and he wants to win a title with the Bucks and it’s so cool to me because it’s not the way it’s done anymore. But with certain guys, I don’t think Steph Curry would ever leave Golden State ever and I’m hoping obviously Giannis feels the same way. That’s the way he’s been so far and it’s been great. It’s been awesome. -via YouTube / June 17, 2025

Bobby Portis: And um, I just think that, you know, ultimately, when you’ve been on a team for a decade-plus, and when you’ve done so much for a city—low-key, like, basketball in Milwaukee wasn’t really a thing until Giannis became who he is. So when you put that much effort into a franchise, that much trust and belief, and you’ve been loyal for so long… Like I said—my whole point—I just feel like he bleeds green, man. No matter what’s reported, no matter what might come to the threshold… Like, would you really want to see Giannis in Toronto as a basketball fan? You know what I’m saying? I saw those jersey swaps this week on Bleacher Report and all that, but come on. Would you really want to see him on a different team? Sure, if I’m playing 2K, that’s one thing. Move him around, put him on different teams, cool. But in real life? A No. 34 Giannis jersey in Toronto? That would just look weird. So me personally? Nah, man. I don’t really see any movement happening. I think he’s staying put with the Bucks. -via YouTube / June 16, 2025
