It’s been over a week since Giannis Antetokounmpo laid out what future scholars will refer to as the
Egg-Preference Theory of NBA trade stances, a paradox that suggests iron-clad commitment can expire in the span of a day.
Well, several days have elapsed since the two-time MVP’s stated turnaround time on mind-changing.
In addition to the passage of time, circumstances are also quite different now than they were when Antetokounmpo proclaimed permanent/temporary fealty to the Milwaukee Bucks. Multiple blowout losses, booing from home fans (which Giannis reciprocated) and the very much related pursuit of lesser trade targets by the Miami Heat all combine to suggest scrambled eggs should no longer be Antetokounmpo’s favorite anymore.
More recently, ESPN’s Jamal Collier reported: “Antetokounmpo has repeatedly confirmed his commitment to the Bucks. But he’s also repeatedly left himself an out—giving himself the opportunity to change his mind, and the Bucks’ future with it.”
Enough is enough. Let’s get Antetokounmpo to the Heat and be done with it.
