A modest upgrade at starting point. Lol

If Giannis is signing his Max, cool. If not, this really **** blows.

If Giannis re-signs, then I'd gladly walk to New Orleans to hand-deliver the picks and pick swaps.

Until playoffs come, then a massive upgrade potentially

That’s... a lot. But, if Giannis signs and Jrue will do an extension, LFG. Jrue is really good.

If these picks are protected somewhat decent, I am okay with this. Oh and if that Greek dude extends as well.

We already crossed the rubicon but the scariest part of this is SIGNING Holiday. You are giving huge money to a guy opting out of a $27m contracts. Are we ready to pay another aging guard $30m+? Him and Midds will be making 75m combined in their early 30s.

I don't know about exceptional but they definitely know how to gamble.

Sure, but not the long game. And do they know how to win a championship? Still waiting for evidence of that.

He’s been an all star.

If Giannis is extending the deal is worth it.

If Holiday extends too it’s clearly worth it.

No risk no reward. But if we’re talking picks at the end of the draft (including protections if we tank) it’s not so much risk compared to persuading Giannis he should sign on the dotted line.

From a small market brother, I really hope Giannis stays after this.

Yea two rotation players + 3 first round picks + swaps is insane. We should have been able to get this done for less.

Silver lining that we poison pilled a Harden deal for the 76ers, who will now need to give up Ben Simmons and 7 picks?

SupremeHustle · Post #156 » by **SupremeHustle** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 5:04 am

I still want a dynamic playmaker at any position.

If Giannis signs the supermax and we get Bogdan to top it off I will be running naked through the streets of Raleigh. They will write stories about it

That package doesn't get Houston to pick up the phone.

If you think Giannis is leaving? Oh yeah, I'm picking up the phone for three firsts and two pick swaps from "Milwaukee"

In this scenario we'd have Harden and Middleton still. Some of those picks wouldn't even be lottery picks..

Post #159 » by **Prez** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 5:06 am

Any details on the picks yet?

lvckv · Post #160 » by **lvckv** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 5:06 am

How long are they going to make us stew for Giannis signing news now anyway. If we have to wait all the way to December 21...
