I think that the only way Antetokounmpo leaves Milwaukee in his prime is if the prospects for winning are dim. He seems to be too much of a competitor to leave to win an asterisk level championship. He seems interested in building his legacy, which I think is more difficult to do when a player leaves a good team to pair up with other stars or leaves for a better situation.

It seems like Antetokounmpo is uncomfortable with the questions that pry into his thoughts about leaving for another team as a free agent. That has to get annoying and will get more so if he decides not to sign the extension. I could see him signing the extension to turn off the torrent of questions. $247-million sets him and his family up for life, allows him to concentrate on basketball, and puts an end to the repetitive media questions.

I'm a fan of this. Nice to get a PG who has some actual NBA experience on a two way.

In 2 years the Raptors roster is going to be garbage. Lowry, Ibaka 2 years older. FVV likely getting a huge contract elsewhere.

They’ll be a lotto team in 2021, Giannis ain’t going anywhere near there

Frank Mason & Cam Reynolds on two ways is great! I could see both getting real PT with us

So what does this mean for Bonzie? I'm not sure what he provides to this team, he's too much of a tweener.

I wasn't high on Mason for a roster spot but on a two way it's highly different. Great pickup.

Love it. Reynolds and Mason on 2-Ways is meaningful very end of the bench depth.

Poor Frank Mason got his 15 minutes of being in the spotlight before Korver stomped on him.
