Happy for the Bucks and @malakas i also really didn't want to see him go to LA or GS. Now Riley might push harder for Harden
I wonder if this will increase pressure for teams like the Heat...who were targeting Giannis all this time and now, well, the only elite player out there is Harden.
Very surprised that he went ahead and signed it, but good for him. Glad to see a small market team keep one of their own.
Agreed. Anyone who was holding out hope for Giannis (at the very least Miami) will now likely be more serious about going after Harden. Also, the picks/swaps from the Bucks in any hypothetical Harden trade with the Pelicans (which was always super unlikely anyways) are worth substantially less now.
Took him long enough to do something everyone in the organisation knew since 2 months ago. Only 6 days before the deadline. Maybe who knows after the Bogdanovic fiasco he brought more demands like for example an agreement to fire Bud next year or to be traded if the team doesn't go deep again.
