That’s good for small market teams

[Mugen]

Nice. Keeps him out East and a good win for small market teams going forward tbh.

Until he pulls a Leonard / Davis / George / Westbrook / Harden and still demands a trade anyways with years still left on the deal.

[horseshue]

Waste of talent.

This. He can force himself to a team of his choice for pennies on the dollar and still get paid.

Having him locked up for 5 compared to 1 (Leonard) significantly increases the Bucks' leverage tbh. Obviously, it's comparable to the Harden situation but I don't know if Giannis is as much of a garbage person as Harden is....we'll see I guess.

Yeah contracts are one way nowadays. Fucking joke.

IDK look how easy PG13 forced his way out of OKC one year into a 5 year deal right after coming 3rd in MVP voting and looking like he was worth every penny.

Fair enough. I think Giannis is different from garbage human beings like PG/Hardens/Kawhis/AD but you're probably right tbh.

Tbf, if Giannis pulls a Playoff P and the Bucks get an equivalent package that's a huge win for them.

Never know. Leonard didn't look like a garbage human being until 2018.

From what I've heard he might low-key be worse than them.

Gonna be tough to top those guys and other modern day stars tbh. But again, wouldn't be surprised.

[Rummpd]

Millions of LAL fans now crying after they even signed his brother in a sham way to recruit him. Good for the NBA!

I don't know about that. More likely, it's a case of, as an international player, he was probably always far more likely to stay than an American diva.

On The Jump, they spun it as a win for well run organizations. Funny, that didn't save the Spurs, Thunder, Celtics, etc. who are all thought to be just that.

It's the reason why I prefer a foreign superstar over an American superstar because you have a higher chance of keeping them.

Definitely a factor in why I think Giannis is different.

Going to be rooting hard for Bucks and when I go to legal casino will bet a little on them.

trade demand clock starts today. Giannis will demand a trade December 16 2021 to Miami/LA/NY to get his club on

this. These SuperMax deals are just a concession to the NBA elite. They demand trades regardless. It's just a matter of time. No FO can keep up with their demands. It will take a new CBA to fix the culture.

[phxspurfan]

I'm just waiting for the first player to demand a trade to Atlanta and say its bc they want a lifetime membership to Magic City or whatever there.

[LkrFan]

When he gets tired of losing he'll go Westward. Just like Kareem Abdul Jabbar. ;)

To the Warriors.

To the Warriors.

No one will want to go to the Warriors after Curry demands trade to Charlotte

Jabbar won a title first with Bucks

[lefty]

Jabbar won a title first with Bucks
Also Finals MVP in 1985 and should have won Finals MVP in 1980 but the voters - the media - hated his reserved personality
Don’t get ne wrong Magic’s game 6 was epid but let’s not forget Jabbar singlehandedly destroyed the entire Sixers frontline during the first 5 games

[LkrFan]

Jabbar won a title first with Bucks

He won 16.6% of his rangs with the Bucks and 83.4% with the Lakers.

His jersey in Canton is Purple and Gold, by the way :)
