the warriors are so cooked that giannis' response after *losing* to them was to deliver his most definitive "i'm not requesting a trade" statement to date. sad.
A late-night discussion with Giannis Antetokounmpo, who tells me he’ll never ask for a trade out of Milwaukee.
“It’s…not…in…my…nature, ok?” the Bucks big man said.

one of the "possible solves" that comes up in here is losses count toward lotto odds before the trade deadline, and wins boosts lotto odds after it. topically enough, a team like the wizards poking around trae young was one of our potential unintended consequences of such a move.
