No bench at all though.

One thing is 1000% sure: Giannis is signing his supermax.

That's not fair! how are the Lakers supposed to sign him?

Pels, not bucks. Zion, Ingram, a few other young pieces and a buttload of draft picks.

Woops, bad reading comprehension.

But I am right about Milwaukee.

you think so? I don’t see Giannis resigning with them at all. Holiday is a slight upgrade at best and that team is still a massive pretender. I think he ends up in Miami after this season.

they got Bogdan also, huh? I still think they’re not that much better.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Milwaukee just set an unbelievable standard. Do the Nets make another future mortgaging trade for Harden after they just came out of the darkness from the last one? At least Harden isn't as old as Pierce and Garnett were, but I have my doubts about a Kyrie, Harden, and Durant trio. Nash might have to bring in the zen master, Phil Jackson as an assistant to keep them in line.

that ********* makes no sense to me. Would definitely be interesting to see them try.

Losing all those first rounders? They would never do that if Giannis was going to bolt.

 

[GatorAZ]

Jrue is much better than Bledsoe and Bogdan is an awesome fit there. They’re above Miami now.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I think they’re doing whatever they can to try and win now hoping that will keep him next offseason.

Maybe I’m wrong here, but if I’m Giannis I’m looking around at KD has Kyrie, LeBron has AD, Jovic has Murray and rising star Porter, Kawhi has PG13, hell, even Jimmy Butler has Bam and Dragic and I have... Middleton, Holiday and... Bogdan?

meh. I ain’t signing SQUAT if I’m Giannis right now. Especially because without picks, that team is going to be... this team basically for the rest of his prime.

Yeah, the only way this deal gets made imo is if it's what it took to get Giannis to sign.

The Bucks just got really good. Keep all that talent going East.

Thats what im saying. More power to them. Can we get Dame Lilard on the Hornets maybe.

How I wish.

I guess teams don’t mind helping the bucks either lol!

Agreed. This is a massive gambit by the Bucks. They're praying that this trade convinces him that the Bucks are contenders... and that the Covid uncertainty makes an early supermax deal more appealing.

From an outside perspective, I would still give pretty good odds that Giannis leaves, probably to Miami. If Giannis has not signed an extension by new years then they'd be idiots not to sell him to the highest bidder. At that point he only stays on the slim chance they win a title.

Holiday is star. What the Suns gave up for Paul I would add 2 first to that to get holiday.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's funny how that works.

Bucks vastly improve with Jrue Holiday from the Pelicans and Bogdan Bogdanovic from the Kings.

For the Pelicans and Bucks, they both win because they are in different places. Pelicans are still building.

The Kings apparently felt it was too costly to keep Bogdon. I like him a lot.

 

[swagron]

You’re exactly right. Timing and needs dictate many moves which seem illogical on the surface.

Reports are saying Giannis is going to re-sign with the Bucks. That is why they made those trades yesterday.

If the Bucks continue to win, those first-round picks won't be worth much. How many guys who are picked between 20-30 make big impacts? Milwaukee can build their roster through free agent signings.

I think it's just a gamble they had to take. And I doubt it was done without buy-in from Giannis.

 

[Yuma]

I think it is protection too. If Giannis leaves they have two good peices to build on.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

If Giannis leaves they will be battling to avoid the lottery and they have no picks.

 

[Proximo]

Holy Shiz at that Pelicans haul:

Three firsts for Jrue Holiday and they get back Bledsoe? WHAT?

Wow, Millwaukee is desperate to try and keep Giannis

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm still amazed how the Nets rebuilt without many assets.
