Giannis Antetokounmpo clarified he is locked into this Milwaukee Bucks season and does feel like he can win in Milwaukee this season during a candid media availability on Wednesday, following the ESPN story about his desire to go to the Knicks the day before. Ti Windisch jumped on for a solo Gyro Step to discuss why he found this interview so relieving and the obvious and less obvious concerns he had after the ESPN story, that were then relieved when Giannis spoke at length about being locked into this season. Can't wait to get back to preseason hoops for the next two weeks and then the regular season from there!

Thanks to PrizePicks for sponsoring this episode! Giannis Antetokounmpo's mulling this summer was reportedly quite real after all and led to actual conversations about the superstar taking his talents to New York, per an ESPN report on Tuesday morning. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti of the Gyro Step planned to deep dive the Milwaukee Bucks first preseason game but instead dove into why they believe this report vs others in the past and what it means for the Bucks and Giannis in the short and long term, why the Knicks are a tough trade partner right now, and why Giannis would pick them over another team like Cleveland. After the Giannis convo and some quick Milwaukee Brewers talk, Ti and Rohan moved onto break down the biggest revelations from Milwaukee's preseason win against the Miami Heat, including the debut of Myles Turner, the Bucks starting Gary Trent Jr. and A.J. Green together at the 2/3, Kyle Kuzma's continued struggles, the point guard rotation of Kevin Porter Jr., Ryan Rollins, and Cole Anthony impressing, and Chris Livingston winning the first battle of the end of bench guys.

Ti and Rohan compare the Greek team to the Milwaukee Bucks squad around Giannis, and explain why Bucks fans should be rooting for a great Greek run. Then we get to the meat of the episode: Ti and Rohan’s Eastern Conference NBA tier lists. As usual they agree on many of the teams, although the bottom half of the East prompted quite a few spirited arguments on who wants to tank and just how bad the Chicago Bulls will be next season.  GSPN's Bucks podcasts are presented by PrizePicks – Go to PrizePicks.com/Gyrostep and use code GYROSTEP for a $50 bonus when you play $5 for the first time!
