Would Giannis fit the infamous culture in Miami? No more skipping or even being late for team meetings. Can he play for a hard-nosed coach that tolerates no disrespect? While the Celtics aren't quite the Heat, Joe Mazzulla isn't exactly a soft touch either. Whatever happens, stay east young man.
Ahh sht “…I do still believe he will be moved this offseason but I’m not as certain as I was before that it’d be done before the draft.”
The Bucks offered Giannis a max extension that he won't sign, therefore they must trade him. For obvious reasons, their opportunity to get max value is prior to the draft. The way to get even better value prior to the draft is creating the perception they are willing to wait until after the draft. Tell me where my reasoning falls apart.
Two or three picks to Bucks and who says no? Houston Roster VanVleet Moody Thompson Durant Antekokounmpo Eason Sheppard Okogie Adams San Antonio Roster Castle Harper Butler Finney-Smith Wembanyama Johnson Champagnie Vassell Bryant Golden State Roster Curry Fox Barnes Green Horford Porzingis Santos Richard Capela Milwaukee Roster Who cares? They get picks and two young players. If push comes to shove, sign and trade Eason for Portis.
Seems like we should just start saying, "The Bucks are unable to cope with Giannis wanting to be traded and will continue to hold to him for as long as possible."
They messed a up a few years ago when they traded for Lillard. That is when they should have traded Giannis. I have no sympathy for the foolish Leadership (Owner & FO). of the Bucks.
Deal is done. Shams will break news later today. 4 team trade, source tells me. Heat - Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks - Ron Holland, Jarred Vanderbilt, Jaime Jaquez, Kasparis Jakcucionis, Lakers 2031 1st round pick, 3 Miami 1st round picks, Pistons 2026 1st round pick Pistons - Tyler Herro Lakers - Isaiah Stewart, Kel’el Ware Spoiler Probably just spitballing
No freaking doubt spit balling. Must be a Lakers fan to be proposing such a favorable package to the Lakers while they only send out Vanderbilt and an FRP lol.
No one cared about Giannis on his draft night so now he’s purposely stealing the Draft Day buzz/shine from the incoming players. In a few years, one of them will steal it from another group of prospects. Cycle of abuse never ends. Let the young guys have their day in the sun, Giannis.
