Oh this is hilarious.

It is hilarious that Giannis is faking outrage.

It's hilarious no matter if it's real or not.

Lillard for a 2 year min contract?

Lillard for a 2 year min contract?

On the Nets maybe for like 10 million per so they can flip him in a year.

I respect the hustle...but Myles Turner isn't the saviour.

What is Milwaukee's roster like now?

Kevin Porter
Gary Trent
Kyle Kuzma
Giannis
Myles Turner

That's a play-in team right there.

You guys are underrating Giannis. He’s like Jokic that he’s the ultimate floor raiser and easy to build around. Just surround him with 3 and D players. Pacers took a step back which the Bucks benefited from. Bucks still aren’t done and they’ll probably end up in the 5/6 spot in the playoffs.

No...I think I'm properly rating the Bucks. They got nothing except for Giannis and a bunch of role players. They won a championship because they also had Holiday, Middleton and Lopez still in their primes. They have none of that right now. They still have zero flexibility and not enough draft capital to drastically improve their team. Plus they will still be carrying Dame's contract on their cap for years to come.

Giannis is good but he alone isn't enough to win.

They have Giannis which alone will keep them as playoff team. They’ll just need to operate as a team over the cap the next couple of seasons but arguably keeping Giannis is the most important thing because there’s no trade that gets you equal value. The new CBA means that quality playoff teams will need to shed talent to save money which is where Milwaukee can take advantage by having expiring contracts on hand. The choices weren’t between being a championship team or a play in team. It was between staying afloat and losing Giannis.

Edit* Forgot to add the Bucks Achilles heel will always be Doc Rivers.

Cooked. They should have gone after Tim Hardaway Jr.

Would rather have Turner on a $25m deal than Poeltl on a $30m deal (if thats the rumored number) hopefully this will be an example of a deal similar for Poeltl.

Turner would have gotten more if the Bucks had more money to offer.

No idea what SAC is doing but the Nuggets are looking good.

For Lillard related stuff, I think Haynes in solid source

It's actually 45 million per year for Turner if you factor in his salary and the opportunity cost of stretching Dame's remaining salary and having 22.5 million per year tied up in paying for Dame to chill on his couch for the next 5 years.

Say what you want about Turner's 3 point shooting and shot blocking but he plays small. He rebounds like Bargnani.

I like what Denver has done this offseason.
