The Bucks are currently struggling with a 4-8 record and facing ongoing uncertainty surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future. Giannis himself stoked speculation when he stated, “If we don’t win a championship, I might get traded,” adding fuel to the already intense rumors. As their losses pile up, so do concerns about whether the Greek Freak might depart.

To shed light on the Bucks’ locker room atmosphere, Bobby Portis joined the Run It Back panel.

Portis was ready to address questions about Giannis’ potential trade, and he handled them with ease. When asked if it was “business as usual” in Milwaukee, he replied, “This is my fifth year in Milwaukee, man. Every year I’ve been here, there’s talk about Giannis leaving.”

Portis brushed off these rumors as just typical talk designed to generate clicks, saying, “This year’s rumors are getting more clicks because, obviously, our record is what it is right now.”

The Bucks’ rocky start has dropped them to 12th place in the Eastern Conference, leading some to question Doc Rivers’ effectiveness as coach.

If the team fails to capture a championship, they know the stakes will be high and the consequences significant.
