Pop them bottles.


The persona is fake, but he definitely has credibility. Dude is right a lot, he clearly has sources, and is based in Milwaukee.

What are his greatest successes? Genuinely curious. Has always seemed like a random fake account throwing **** against the wall and hoping some sticks. To say he definitely has credibility and clearly has sources feels like a massive stretch from my view.

I obviously hope he/she/it/they is/are right, but I smell bullsh*t.


He was days ahead of the Kuzma deal, and has had Brewers transactions too.

I’d take the spurs off that list, they have a pretty clear path to a top 3 guy.

I hope he's not dialed in because he had us moving Portis for like 5 different guards at the deadline.

Do we shop him regardless? I don't think so. But, we risk being **** over if he flat out refuses to consider extending in October 2026. We're stuck with a lame duck Giannis who will be had for relative peanuts on the trade market. It's the worst case scenario.


I think he stays his entire career here if he doesn't want to leave this offseason.

I started taking him a little more seriously when he had the Middleton trade the night before it happened. I don't think there was a lot of people with the details on the Kuzma deal ahead of time. But I agree overall with your comments.

Loading the team up with guards around Giannis is honestly the best path forward. Keep like Sims for when you need a big or when Giannis isn’t on the floor.

He also had the Sims deal ahead of time.

What are the odds we can keep KPJ and GTJ?


That lineup of those 2, AJG and Giannis was a problem.

Excellent. Odds that we keep them and making another impact signing? That's trickier. Most of the work will need to be done via trade.

I just want to see Thanasis win another ring in a Bucks uniform. Is that too much to ask?

Worst case scenario is trading Giannis to a team where he wins a bunch of ring eclipsing his legacy here while our stupid ass FO falls flat on their stupid **** faces leaving us **** for the rest of the decade regardless of the poo poo platter they get back. Seems like the most likely scenario with a Giannis trade, remember who is calling the shots on this team.

Spurs got enough to land Durant if the Suns trade him. Durant would get them in the playoffs at the very least.

Hope that report is true that Giannis did not request a trade in the meeting. He will have an easier path to the Finals being in the East.

If if if Giannis hinted he’s be cool with being traded. Is this spurs deal realistic at all?

Castle Vassell Sochan salary fillers 1.2 1.14 and our choice of three future firsts of theirs for Giannis!

They keep Wemby and Fox obviously along with Keldon Johnson presumably. Is that too much or could we pull that off realistically?

Seriously? You think we could get like Keldon Johnson as “filler” as well (flawed game and all but still someone id gladly take in this aforementioned deal) and what else?

Man, if I can get Castle, Vassell, Sochan, Keldon, Harper Jr at 1.2, whomever at 1.14, our choice of the spurs owned three future firsts, I am ok dealing my favorite athlete in any sport of all time.

On realm trade checker:

Castle, Vassell, Sochan, Kelson Johnson
for
Giannis, Connaughton, Umude, Livingston, Nance

Works on trade checker.

Send us 1.2 (Harper Jr) 1.14 and the Spurs best three future firsts and I am ok sending my favorite athlete of all time out west to chase another ring.

Thoughts on this proposal?
