hes not even the least worst player on the bucks unless you have no idea about the nba

ffs when a guy is untouchable in trades do you even realize how stupid it sounds to call him "the worst player in the league"


What lol? Least worst player? Thanasis isn’t untouchable. He’s Giannis’ older brother. That’s it.

And who on the Bucks last year was worse than him? That’s a joke.


since hes arrived weve let other guys come and go like flies on ****. if somebody calls up trying to trade for thanasis with less valuable players we hang up the phone. as far as salary filler hes worth 10 times his salary. wed consider him in lillard packages id assume but very few others.

so like the other part of my post... if you dont get this.... like are you even an nba fan? basic intellect and understanding of the nba makes the value of thanasis and his goon/motivator/mascot/brother role obvious


Please don’t bring up “basic intellect and understanding” like you’re some sort of genius masquerading as an NBA talent scout. Nobody is talking about his value relative to the franchise or the spirit of the team. They’re speaking on his on court ability, to which he is one of the least talented guys in the league by far. He’s gotten progressively worse on the court year after year somehow.

Is Thanasis a goon or is he just uncoordinated

I like Thanasis and am happy he re-signed with the Bucks.

Thanasis hating bucks fan = person who likely knows a decent amount about basketball, but certainly knows very little about life or the world.

Go Bucks! Go Thanasty!

I love how if you don’t agree with someone’s Thanasis take, it’s because YOU’RE dumb/ignorant/blind to some evident truth. Try making an argument about Thanasis that doesn’t resort to simple attacks on someone’s intelligence.

He’s 31 years old. Lot of average NBA guys start their decline by then.

Not a good idea to let the inmates run the asylum.

In what world is Giannis an inmate here? We are lucky to have him and he's the only reason our team has been relevant for the past five years.

Question for Giannis during negotiations: What do you prefer: best chance for another championship or Thanasis on the team?

Answer Giannis: I promise we’ll win another one with Thanasis on the team.

Horsty is smiling from ear to ear and gives Thanasis a new contract without hasitations.

gtfo... i attacked youre knowledge of the nba if you dont understand how important it is to appease stars especially in small markets...

and you directly attacked my intelligence referencing your loss of brain cells and if thats not worse my spelling and punctualtion.

seriously get over yourself with this last post. gaslight much? you come of like a hypocritical self righteous pompous ass here

on the general board the casual nba fan is literally unanimously supporting this move for obvious reasons. ONLY select oddball bucks fans have a problem with this move and it makes zero sense to me

Both of you stay on topic and stop attacking others and/or take a break.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Hey Bucks fans, care to humor me for a bit?

It's the offseason and I'm working on a trade value column of my own of sorts. Question for you is, what is the value gap between Jrue Holiday and Chris Paul?

Ignoring if either team would make a trade, if it makes sense, etc. Speaking simply "value".

Is it a good first round pick? a valuable rotation player (Immanuel Quickley as a random example). Or are we talking a significant gap (multiple 1st round picks, blue chip prospects, etc.)

Thanks!

I would say clearly higher value than CP3. Despite his abomination of a series against Miami he was still an all-star and first team all-defense this past season and is still pretty much in his prime vs CP3 being several years past his. I’d want a pretty significant package for Jrue - I don’t think anyone’s giving up a “blue chip” prospect for him, but I’d expect at least a nice prospect with a pick, or multiple 1sts.

It took a lot for Milwaukee to get him almost three years ago -- Bledsoe, two firsts, pick swaps -- and I think he's worth more than that now. He was instrumental in winning a championship, and a couple of sketchy playoff performances since haven't diminished his value. I agree with Prez.
