NBA expansion has been a hot topic around the Association this month and we could be getting new teams in the next few years. If the Milwaukee Bucks had to protect eight players this summer, which seven plus Giannis Antetokounmpo should Jon Horst prioritize?

Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti debate the selections on this Gyro Step, and also cover some more uncomfortable Giannis quotes from Euro Hoops. Yes, they are still protecting him from the expansion draft even if the quotes are getting old! Unsurprisingly, Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis were big topics of discussion given their polarizing play and league-wide value.

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't play in the All-Star game this year, but Giannis still impacted the entire weekend. Unlike some other stars, Giannis embraces being a face of the league and he and his sons were a fixture on the court and in some fun media moments including exchanges with Damian Lillard, Steph Curry, Shams Charania, and the officials. Also, the actual game and events this year were mostly good! Even if the 200 influencers didn't actually influence anybody and Bobby Portis ended up taking last in the three-point shootout.

Also for whatever reason Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti brought a ton of food takes to this week's episode. I guess this is what a long weekend and no Bucks basketball until Friday does to you.

The Milwaukee Bucks won two straight games going into the NBA All-Star Break, both on the road against the Orlando Magic and Oklahoma City Thunder. Milwaukee's new players were the biggest factors, with Cam Thomas pouring it in vs Orlando and Ousmane Dieng leading a balanced Bucks attack that dominated the Thunder on Thursday.

Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed how Dieng has filled the wing need that Milwaukee has struggled with since Khris Middleton's injury decline, the coaching staff correctly utilizing Thomas in a sixth man role, the improved passing and defense the younger Bucks have displayed, and how Milwaukee could make a run into the meat of the Eastern Conference play-in race with Giannis Antetokounmpo returning soon. Plus Ti proposes a solution to tanking and the hosts cover Bobby Portis' three-point contest hopes.

The Milwaukee Bucks kept their strong play rolling for the first half against the Orlando Magic on Monday but fell apart in the third quarter and ultimately got blown out. Cam Thomas made his Bucks debut and so did Ousmane Dieng, and Bobby Portis recorded zero rebounds before talking about the importance of rebounding as a team after the game.

Ti Windisch was joined by Justin Garcia of the Bucks Radio Network and Locked on Bucks podcast to discuss the loss to Orlando, the Bucks somewhat odd deadline moves, them buying into Milwaukee's play-in push after the three-game win streak, and Milwaukee's overall lack of a cohesive identity.

Also happy birthday Bobby Portis, sorry about the rant timing!

The Milwaukee Bucks had a snoozer of an NBA Trade Deadline, acquiring Ousmane Dieng and Nigel Hayes-Davis for Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey, but that didn't deter Giannis Antetokounmpo from posting the "I'm not *bleeping* leaving" scene from Wolf of Wall Street right after the deadline passed!

Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti react to Giannis' post and decode what it really means, plus talk about the low impact trade the Bucks made and their disappointment with the lack of assets Milwaukee gathered. Then they broke down what if anything to expect from Dieng, buyout options like Cam Thomas, Haywood Highsmith, and Khris Middleton, and some of the other wild trades around the NBA.

Giannis Antetokounmpo gave an exclusive interview to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel detailing both his love for and desire to stay in Milwaukee, but also why he ultimately may not be able to given his stated desire to win.

They forgot to say it on the podcast but our hosts updated Giannis percentages: Ti is 60/40 that Giannis is traded by the deadline, and Rohan is 50/50.

The Milwaukee Bucks leapt out to a 12-0 lead vs the Boston Celtics on Sunday and then got smoked for the next 45 minutes, losing 107-79 in the latest lifeless display of basketball. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discuss if and when the Bucks will actually win another basketball game and the one bright spot generally and on Sunday, Ryan Rollins.

With the NBA Trade Deadline on Thursday, there's also a ton of trade slop to cover. Ti and Rohan discuss the two non-Bucks trades that took place over the weekend before covering new rumors. We heard that Giannis' camp would like a trade to happen pre-deadline, that the Bucks are submitting counter-offers to teams chasing Giannis, and that Milwaukee is also looking into taking bad contracts in exchange for draft picks. At least there's some good news!

The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly listening to trade offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo for the first time ever. With Giannis also open to a new home, does this mean that the Bucks will lose their homegrown superstar in the next six days? For once, Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti do not agree.

The Gyro Step cohosts go through the background and reporting in great detail first, breaking down every proposed Giannis suitor and whether they could realistically swing a trade for the Greek Freak. Then Ti and Rohan debate if Giannis will actually be moved in the next six days before Thursday's deadline.
