    I wouldn’t be surprised if a few more of these get “storm damaged”.

    Maybe don't chuck the ball at someone from almost point blank range like you're playing dodgeball then

  5. I think Giannis wants to be traded but he doesn't want to ruin his image in Milwaukee so it's just all these weird reports all the time. my man, no one in Milwaukee is gonna hate you ever if you wanna leave - I don't think you'll end up in a better situation but do you my man.

  6. Disagree. If he forces a Knicks trade or some team with a package that sucks like the Heat just bc he wants to go there, some will hate him

  7. I think the most annoying thing is just him waffling between staying and going at this point but I don't know how he forces his way to a specific team until next year's trade deadline at the earliest when he's an expiring contract.

    the Knicks have dog shit to offer so they'd need a third team obviously. Heat kind of have some stuff but again where are the picks
     
  8. Players with longer and shorter contracts than him have done it quite easily

    didnt KD just force a trade less than a year after his extension kicked in lol
     
  9. Sean Murphy

    big pipe huh Platinum

    i personally think the most annoying thing is that he time and time and time and time and time again reemphasizes the fact that he wants to stay in milwaukee and we keep listening to The Bozos instead.
     
  10. And for a counter Dame wasn’t able to do it

    this will go similar to how it went for Lillard
     
  11. I don’t disagree with you but those people aren’t forcing him to be weird and delete all traces of the team off his social media. He’s taking pages out of LeBron’s playbook and that dude gets shit for it too. It’ll happen.

  13. I mean has he been insisting? Maybe in years past but he’s been more coy about it this season.

  14. Dame tried to force his way to Miami and Portland didn’t budge.
     
  15. If/when Giannis is traded the bucks will try to get him to a decent team while also getting the best return they can - similar to what Portland did with Dame
     
  16. Sure lol. Their standing as players is much different.
     
  17. So is Giannis and KD

    but hey if Horst gives in to giannis demands and trades him for KAT OG and worthless pick swaps he’ll be looking for a new job as well lol
     
  18. Not really. Both MVPs with rings hitting their 30s that have done all they can for their teams and want to go to a larger market

    Dame had won, what, seven playoff series in Portland over a dozen years? And never made the finals? And never won a major personal award?
     
  19. KD has also played his entire career with hall of famers alongside him Dame’s best teammate before giannis was lamarcus Aldridge lol
     
  20. I can absolutely see him getting his way in a trade to Miami because you can at least talk yourself into ware and hero and Miami has better draft assets but that team still probably not winning much

    One good young player, picks, and salary filler is going to be the final trade if it goes through. Miami has some good young players and Wiggins to throw in, Atlanta has Risacher that they hope counts as good and Trae Young who’s more salary filler than good young player at this point.
     
  22. atlanta is much more likely. miami has young players who can be good but they don't have good enough young players

    Die rad.

    Giannis to ORL for Paolo. Straight up. I've seen it floated out there on a few NBA podcasts. I just don't like how injury prone both of the guys are. I don't believe Paolo has reached his full potential yet. Too early to pull the trigger, especially with the new extension.
