When/where? All I've seen was a photoshop of him in it.

Holy **** he’s actually leaving. We have to trade him ASAP if he doesn’t commit.

Alright, I'm anxious too but don't write "he's leaving" without a source because then I feel like there is a source and I'm missing it.

Relax guys. If we've learned anything from the year 2020 it's that everything will be juuuusssst fine.

GSW probably has the best package. Wiseman + tons of Picks. You need a team that "thinks" they can convince him to stay to be a partner. They'll probably throw in tons of picks similar to our package for Jrue. It's been real Giannis.

Lol damn people are losing it! I’m not worried yet, I think Giannis just wants to take his time. I do hope the FO knows his full intentions though. If he doesn’t sign and says he won’t be we can try to move him for assets, although I’m not feeling that he will leave.

Does my signed Giannis jersey with my name misspelled on it go up in value if he leaves? That's all I care about.

I don't think it's worth being worried about this until at least after the 21st.

The only real benefit for Giannis to sign now is not having to deal with the media circus. The supermax will still be there after the season and by waiting he can see how the moves made play out and maintain leverage to keep pressuring the Bucks to improve. I guess we'll see.

The nature of panic is such that you are both always and never ready for it.

This is my thoughts. Giannis takes his time. I also think he’s an honest guy who wouldn’t bone a franchise like that. He will tell them either what his expectations are to re-sign, or if he will be or won’t be outright.

What is Midds supposed to say? He is signing and I am excited about it. No one is going to speak out of turn on this.
Dealing with people who exhibit the "smartest person in the room" syndrome can be a challenge. One approach is to listen their opinion while also encouraging open-mindedness. It's important to create an environment where all voices are valued.

When is Giannis supposed to be speaking to the media. Super weird that he's not there today.

Yikes, you'd have to imagine if he was no-doubt going to sign it would've been done by now

Let's just say that Saratsis came to the Bucks a few days ago and said "Giannis accepts this and only this".
Can somebody give me an idea of a contract bad enough to make the Bucks say "no we can't offer you that Giannis we better trade you now" ?
Because it really baffles me especially if it's for 5 years.
