Did he really say this?

He did, but I would listen to the audio. Promising, nonetheless.

Great answer on the PnR by Giannis. He sounds gung-ho for it.

Kind of. The 2nd sentence was tongue in cheek. It was made clear that it didn't make sense from any standpoint to sign a contract this season. He would be leaving a lot of money on the table on the back end of the deal. I don't think he outright said he would sign it next year.

Putting the "so I'm gonna sign it next year" within the direct quote is a pretty stupid thing to do if he didn't actually say it. It doesn't sound like something he'd say which is why it caught me off guard.

He definitely said he'd sign it next year.

Agreed. He might have said it, but after the first sentence he got very jokey. It sounded very much like the only thing stopping him was that he would be leaving 80M dollars on the table.

EDIT: I watched the video. I hope it wasn't tongue in cheek. It probably will not stop the main media outlets from running with him hitting free agency.

Either way, you don’t joke about signing next year if you’re not sure. Giannis is signing.

That quote is going to be analyzed for months.... yay?

Balls2TheWalls · Post #92 » by **Balls2TheWalls** » Mon Oct 2, 2023 5:26 pm

That is 100% the news of the entire media day if it is true. Dame trading in and Giannis committing his next half decade to the Bucks is a pretty good day.

He will extend as long as we are winning. Which we should be doing a ton of. It is in his financial best interests to wait until the offseason to do so.

Balls2TheWalls · Post #95 » by **Balls2TheWalls** » Mon Oct 2, 2023 5:28 pm

Is there a media day availability listing somewhere?

emunney · Post #96 » by **emunney** » Mon Oct 2, 2023 5:29 pm

He's absolutely going to sign it, and if the team falls apart over the following years, we'll trade him. How do we get the team to not fall apart? That's a problem for Future Horst.

The fact that his agent tweeted the quote, he could have stopped after a lot of money... I think their is an awareness that making this comment and then his agent tweeting it hopefully quiets the national media. He is committed to winning first and knows that the distraction as he and Dame are learning to play together could become problematic.

He will have lots of time to think about it between our non-existent first round draft picks. :lol:
