Aight, captain positive (lol), how do you interpret that quote? A nothing burger?
Jo is very adept with the media, he knows exactly what he's saying.
Nothing he hasn't said before lol.
Had a very similar quote to Marcus Spears around april.
Also Jo is 30 and a 7fter...those guys don't last until they are 40 like Bron lol. And if/when we flame out this year or next...then it will probably be time for him to move on anyway.
Stars don't stay on one team if they don't win there. Dirk was the last one and if they didn't win it all in 13...he probably would have left too. Hell Kobe is seen as the biggest alpha dawg lord around and he also asked for a trade at one point.
I could be wrong (won't be the first time) but I just see this as Jo seeing the end of the tunnel for the first time and attempting to use it to let the FO know that it looming. Biid for all of his flaws is very aware of how things work...its cool to play for one team all your career...its not likely. And until he asks out...I'm not going to freak out and even then I probably won't. This era is reaching its end... I thought people already knew that?
Yeah I think this is likely what it is. He's putting feelers out into the media, to send a message to Philly that he's not going to wait, and something needs to happen IMO. I think this season 100% determines his intent to stay. If we're not good by the trade deadline, I could see significant noise.
