Shut up

All I will say is this...just because a player wants to stay on a team and be in that city doesn’t mean they will...things change, it’s common to say postive things. Lebron did it, Kyrie did it, KD did it...like I said before, I dont think MIL trades him unless they get in a kawhi situation where they have no other choice..dont see that happening. A LOT of things can change until the 2021 summer though. Another failed attempt in the playoffs and you better believe he is looking at his best options in FA. Stars lure other stars now. Butler or Luka could easy entice Giannis to join them to win championships.

Very lame to blame his team (if that's what he's doing) after losing to a very young core like the Heat. Bro you have multiple vets on your squad that Lebron would've killed for in 2007 and 2018. It's no PG or AD as a number two but it's a solid core. Milwaukee could make a move for a better number two by moving Middleton I reckon.

It just amazes me that fans still buy it when a player says they won't leave. Of course they say that and I believe that in most cases, they mean it at the time they say it.

But as you point out, things change.

Fair or not, great players are ultimately judged by rings. So, if a team that a great player is on, can't get them what they need to win a title, then of course they will want to move on to a team that can.

Great players like Kobe, Timmy and Dirk who played their entire careers for the same franchise while winning championships are rare enough...great players like Reggie Miller, who played their entire careers for the same franchise despite never winning a title, are rarer still.

The problem is, who are they going to trade Middleton for to get the level of player they need and what other assets are they going to have to send with him?

No idea. They probably don't have the total package to get it done. I know they're looking at Paul but he's the only one that can balance out the trade financially. They could probably swing it to snag Schroder too if OKC is really looking to clear the books. Not sure. Obviously Paul would be a short term fix.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe him too. Problem is, he has a pretty bad history of suffering season ending injuries at the worst possible time and he's not getting any younger.

But, if he can stay healthy and they can get a deep run, maybe it convinces Giannis to at least stick around for a 1 and 1 type deal. Especially if they get to the finals.

I just don't know that Paul and Freak is all that much better. They were cruising along until the bubble. Some teams adapted better than others. Clearly it didn't go well for them.

Pascal was a trainwreck compared to his regular season self as a different example.

Hard to say what happened with Milwaukee without knowing all the specifics. But i don't like Giannis making it a support issue already. Miami has a nice team but if you're the MAN then you should be able to beat them.

You ever get tired of being wrong?

Well, you're a career pole smoker.

I'm not convinced the bubble had anything to do with it. First of all, the loss of Brogdon hurt them more than they thought it would. Also, they lost to a team that had beaten them 2 out of 3 times going into the playoffs.

Maybe. It could also be that it was his first time on the big stage as his teams #1 option. Last year, all he had to do was follow Kawhi's lead.

This year, he had to be Kawhi.

dorian is proof if you smoke the PCP laced devils weed it'll fuck yer head up. And I think he's related to this fatass ninja-lawyer.

Yeah, his guys didn't exactly step up...but he didn't look any different in the playoffs this year than he did last year. It looked to me like the Heat basically did the same thing that was done to him last year as far as defending him. They just ended up with an earlier exit than last year because they aren't as good.

Possibly on Brogdon. But again if you're the best player in the league you should be better than Milwaukee was in the playoffs.

Yeah they just dont have many options. Middleton has a huge contract and too expensive for the caliber of player he truly is. CP3 while risky might be their best option, could regress a lot next year but being a 3rd option could be perfect for him

Oh snap......shots fired.

Well, the Lakers have Giannis' brother so........
