In 2024,Giannis sat out theentire series with injury. In 2025,he returned but still couldn’t prevent another early exit.
That’s been enough forspeculation to catch fire —whispers of a “change ofscenery,”teams reportedly budgeting for ablockbuster Giannis trade, andendless debates over whether theBucks’current roster can deliver another championship.
Giannis hasn’t confirmed or denied anything,but his teammate Bobby Portis isn’t buying thenarrative.Speaking on ESPNMilwaukee, theveteran forward dismissed thechatter outright:
“Yeah, Italk to Giannis all thetime.That’s my teammate.Giannis bleeds green.That’s all Ican say.”

“Imean,what’s wrong with our team?Why can’t we do it this year? Theonly thing wrong with us is people being hurt,”Portis said,comparing thecurrent squad to the 2021championship roster.
