Giannis 'More Impressed' By Signing Adebayo To Extension Than Making Him Wait

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Tue Nov 24, 2020 10:05 pm

The Miami Heat will have approximately $13 million in less cap space by signing Bam Adebayo to a max extension. While it would complicate the cap machinations for the Heat, it could increase their odds of acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo in 2021.

"A source who knows Antetokounmpo well said he would be more impressed by the Heat giving Adebayo the extension now than asking Adebayo to wait a year for the purpose of making it easier for the Heat to acquire Antetokounmpo," writes the Miami Herald.

Antetokounmpo and Adebayo are friends and share the same agent in Alex Saratsis.

Giannis do what’s best for you dawg. But if I was you I would switch agents I could never share agents with somebody who just beat me. Develop that mentality and you’ll be better because of it.

Giannis signed his first extension and played through it. Him and Bam are at different stages of their career.

Of course he's serious. I switched to Colgate when I saw a guy with a Celtics hat buy Crest at the pharmacy.

I don't even want to read his name anymore. Wish people would let it go until something occurs.

I don’t disagree. The wording is what’s interesting.

As a Heat fan, this feels like Knicks free agency rumors that never come to fruition.

Please stop

To be fair to fans who geek out to this stuff (not unlike us), Giannis and his agent stir the pot with media leaks like this.

If he really didn't want to be the center of attention, you know what Giannis (through "sources close to him") could've said about Bam's extension? Nothing. He could have said nothing, and instead chose to shoehorn himself into the conversation.

He's enjoying the attention. I'm done with him.

He lost to the Heat now he’s going to join them? No he’s got some heart he’s not KD.

Impressed as he may be, he ain’t coming here as a FA if there is no money for him. I think Heat will probably try to trade for someone else now.
