His value went down, as there are now less suitors for him.
Two teams, trying to contend, would have decided this guy is not it.
We are in a world where you can't really have fake max (or near max) players anymore, and hope to get it done. This is a market correction.
Trae
Booker
KAT
Lavine
Herro
Beal
George
Bam
Murray
and more
His value didn’t go down. Come on now. Towns shined bright in another setting - proved what type of (all-star) player he was (not just a big fish in little pond of Minnesota). And with every passing offseason, his contract is being surrounded with others making what he makes or more - as the NBA adjust to the new CBA and real money contracts amounts being handed out.
Towns value didn’t go down. And 100% is not near ‘untradeable’. I mean, the real NBA just freshly showed us the truth. Maybe we should listen.
Should have qualified my comment and say I don’t believe The Bucks owners would be willing to pay KAT what his current deal is on, so I would imagine any potential Giannis to Knicks trade would likely involve a 3rd team willing to pay KAT
But the whole luxury tax and apron strings actually makes it harder (least for me) to try calculate what a deal could look like, maybe one involving KAT to Charlotte, Lamelo and maybe Josh Hart and other players and picks to Milwaukee/Charlotte and Giannis to New York.
Still not convinced Giannis will ask for a trade, if he was, last summer would have been the time.
But who knows what the future holds
