[News] Giannis “discussing future” with Bucks

Without a crystal ball how many years does Giannis realistically have? He's only 30, or is it, he's 30. I don't know. If he has 2 years in the tank, is it a good move if you get prime Giannis for 2 years and then a broken down Cousins/AD type player thereafter?

The wild card in all of that is guys like Wemby may only have 4-5 good years in the league, so maybe you have to.

I mean. He's shown no signs of slowing down and the superstars are playing longer than ever now. He's putting up another MVP level season, so theres really nothing to suggest he's slowing down or will slow down anytime soon.

For me, I get a chance to be the title favorite over the next 5 years with a Giannis/Wemby core, I do it and dont think twice about it. Especially considering its very likely they'll get to keep at least one of Fox/Harper/Castle too
 
Kind of weak move by Giannis it's not like the Bucks have not been trying to build around him they have made plenty of moves (Lillard, Turner, Holiday), Bucks have just had bad luck with injuries come playoffs. Everyone looking for easy rings thanks to LeBron and KD doing the same crap there rings to me don't mean anywhere near as much as Giannis one. Super weak by Giannis guys compete fake now.

Wait why? I obviously dont want Giannis hurt, but him on OKC or SAS is just a dynasty over the next 5 years. This would slow the trade rumors down

Given OKC is on track to break the record for wins we already have a dynasty. If he goes to the Spurs we just have two.

If he is out for the year (now the team has ruled out an Achilles so maybe unlikely) they become a favorite in the Race to the Bottom.

I’m hoping he lands elsewhere, Atlanta or Miami can put together a good package

Giannis got the Bucks their first championship since 1971 and he has done all he could for the team. He is the franchise leader in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and minutes played. His jersey is going up in their rafters. What more does he have to prove? Both him and the team tried and they see the writing on the wall. It's good for both parties.
 
don't favor this approach by players and agents saying only trade me to this team or else....this isn't NBA free agency. just hamstrings a team more than anything else
