Time for a change?

[Who]

Here's a question based on this page of comments. Is Giannis okay becoming the #2 here? Or if the other way, is Tatum okay becoming the #2? There's multiple reasons it didn't work between Giannis-Lillard, but one of them was neither seemed to be willing to take a back seat or work it out/sacrifice. Giannis would be the #1 in Miami over Bam, no question. On this team, I think he'd have to be willing to accept being the #2, or 1B behind Tatum like Jaylen was all these years.

I think Giannis would be OK with that role. He already won in Milwaukee being the #1. Seems like he just wants to win again. Tatum will make his job so much easier.

I don't think Giannis knows how to play any other way than to be a #1. He will take over the team naturally. His natural aggressiveness. The guy is a 30ppg 10rpg machine.

Feel like he will be Ok sharing the load with Tatum. 1A/1B.

Perkins is right on this one. Clip is cut short, but he thinks Giannis needs to go to Boston. That pairing him with Tatum in Boston is like KG and Pierce all over again. Does not think a Giannis/Bam duo would be good enough to win a championship.

The year the Bucks won, Giannis had 18 fga, Khris had 15.8, Jrue had 13.9 in the regular season. In the playoffs, Giannis had 20.9, Kris had 19.7, and Jrue had 16.9.

During Boston's title season, Tatum had 19 3, Brown had 17.9, and KP had 13.2. In the playoffs Tatim had 19 6, Brown 17.8, and white had 12.7. 

Giannis was only 16.6 last year, though the year before he was 19.7.  The 19.3 Tatum had was the lowest he had in a healthy season since his 4th year. 

I thibk they will be fine, it will be PP and White that will see a reduction if anyone does.
