Kinda love that the Bucks being too clingy is gonna cost them Giannis

 

I think initially, yeah. They probably want to see how dlo/Rubio would mesh on the court before they start them both at the same time. You’ll also want some of that perimeter defense from Rubio off the bench so he’s the only one that plays it, lol.

 

BEST SHAPE OF HIS LIFE ALERT!!!

You're all ill-prepared for All-Star Fox I will be insufferable

 

They might as well test his ass hourly. His house is the spot for rappers when they come to town haha.

 

Yeah Giannis is leaving

 

Giannis is gonna be a huge distraction this season for the team - this sucks

 

same

 

Giannis will probably go to Dallas

 

Would you take a sign and trade for James Harden?

 

lol sure why not gotta get something for Giannis

he’s the one super star where money means nothing to him so I don’t think a quarter of a billion dollars means anything to him - he’s fine taking lesser money to be on a team that wins titles

 

i fully expect giannis to be evasive about contract questions the way any other player would in this situation, but the "i'll leave it up to my agents it's not my business" thing is extremely weird to see - like, the super-max is pretty clearly defined in terms of amount and years, no? it seems like there shouldn't be any real confusion on it or any significant negotiations? - unless he wants a shorter deal?

 

Maybe his agent is just deciding where he goes next lol

 

Season is gonna be so stressful lol

 

Giannis............................ welcome to Denver

 

max

 

If Giannis doesn’t sign then the regular season means nothing - just waiting till April I guess for the playoffs

no joy

 

Giannis is gonna sign. Don’t worry, Drew. Try and have fun with what is going to be a goofy ass COVID season

 

it is not.

 

no he can't. he can re-sign but It will be for less than the supermax.

 

lol let me not read this bullshit tonight

 

just absolute mind blowing dumb ass shit online today lol. a record day.

 

The same deal isn’t there??

 

Unless something changed like, today

he can sign in the summer with the exact same terms.

 

Zach Lowe said on his pod with Windhorst a few weeks ago that after the deadline, when Giannis can next re-sign, he would be doing so as an unrestricted and the Bucks can only offer the regular max extension. Still has an advantage over other teams, but for less money than he can get prior to Dec. 22.

Maybe I misheard/misinterpreted something but I'd trust those two's knowledge on the cap/extensions over any of ours.

 

Ahhh okay, I always thought the players can sign them later on after the deadline in the following off season.
