He seems like a relatively quiet type that will stay with the Bucks for as long as possible.
Yes, he only owns one house in the US (albeit very big) and that is in Milwaukee which costed him only 1.8M... The other house he owns is in Greece...He seems like a relatively quiet type that will stay with the Bucks for as long as possible.
Maybe not if he brings them titles (multiple). And maybe not with the international fans (I don't know, but that's what Bucky claims, and we know how right he is about everything).I would argue that it influences his long term image negatively to be on the Bucks period.
Why?
Milwaukee has deep pocket owners and I'm sure they'll build around him. I heard that he doesn't like LA.Once he fails to win any rings (likely a lock if he stays there), he will be seen as someone not interested enough in winning. Sure, it's a nice story when someone stays with their draft team for the entirety of their career, but it does raise questions if no championships are involved.
Just because someone doesn't like LA doesn't mean they stay in Milwaukee. There are a couple other options in the league that can even compete. Maybe he should go to Toronto and try and prove that he is just as good as Kawhi by getting a ring there.Milwaukee has deep pocket owners and I'm sure they'll build around him.

You may be right.Most owners in the NBA have deep pockets, but that's only part of the equation.
My bet would be that if they aren't in the finals within the next few seasons, he'll likely go somewhere that he feels can get him there.
He certainly doesn't have to go to an LA team, but Milwaukee isn't exactly a destination city. So, unless the Bucks can trade for someone, or draft someone who can be the 2nd star or find a top tier FA who really loves cheese curds, they likely won't ever get to the finals, let alone win a title.
Right now, it's easy for him to be in Milwaukee. They're a good, solid playoff team and young enough that maybe a 2nd star can develop.
But, as he gets older, things like his legacy and position among all time greats will start to become more important to him. If he hasn't at least been to the finals, he'll likely start looking for another team.
Which is a maximum of 3 to 4 years unless they start contending or the Bucks' front office is showing they're doing everything they can to get him a 2nd star.
They were contenders last year, and should be again.
Losing Brogdon hurts though. And it hurts even more because it was a situation where ownership was clearly looking to avoid the luxury tax.
Giannis’ salary is due to almost double in 2 years and Middleton is making a boat load. They will not be able to contend after Giannis signs his Supermax if they are unwilling to be tax payers.
And what is this talk of adding a 2nd star down the road? They already got PG, no?I don't see how this is possible. We have been assured by tHopp's very own Bucks insider that everyone will re-sign with them on team friendly deals.
You may want to double check your sauces.

Contenders in a way. Unless they actually make the Finals I don't think it'll satisfy Giannis.
I agree.
I think need to show Giannis they are committed to winning.
And they won’t do that if they are letting pieces like Brogdon walk away every year.
Ironically the current CBA was constructed to make it too expensive to keep dominant teams in tact for more than a few years.
But the reality is that it makes it almost impossible for small market teams to keep their cores together.
Teams like the Warriors and Lakers and Nets can pay the tax. Much harder for a team like Milwaukee.
