I was just reading that this was his idea. How much power do they give Giannis?

Amidst all the hoorah, people are missing out on Yabs signing with the Knicks....

If it was Giannis' idea, then he's a terrible GM. The Pacers might have defeated OKC if Turner hadn't been a complete no show.

Few pages back. They see a chance with Indy and the C's in no mans land. But they're still the Knicks :lol:

Any chance of moving Simons for Bobby Portis?

Haynes is a Dame inner circle guy. Keep that in mind re: reports of Giannis being upset at Milwaukee turfing Dame.

Yabs and Clarkson are their 2 signings.

Their ball movement will be poor next season..also, neither is a great defender and defense was already a weakness when you rely so much on Brunson and KAT..

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised at this point if Detroit or Olando makes it out of the east next year lol. Maybe Cleveland, Atlanta or Milwaukee?

We might not be too keen in helping out the Bucks get a starting PG.

No chance. Zero percent :lol:

Bucks are not trading Giannis for Brown and why the heck does Giannis want to come to Boston, to play with Luka Garza? :lol:

this is fascinating

they must need an exact dollar amount to do another deal and Micic will work as a match and Pat wont????
its not possible they value Micic on his own or value the $1.3 million savings over Connaugton ... is it???

very interesting deal
After this, MIL has no more 2nds until next draft opens up 2033 ... so wtf?

Celtics have identified three players they want to retool around in Tatum, Brown and White and next year will be a bridge year. Stevens is all about finding players this year and beyond and setting up for next off-season to complete the retool. Don't know why this is so hard to understand.

When LeBron finally retires, he can make another billion dollars giving a detailed insight on how to train properly.

He was never a big advocate of weight training. He is all about maintaining.

Now he is an enigma and genetic freak, but whatever he did to his body was the way to be IMO.

He averaged 71 GAMES A SEASON IN 22 YEARS !!! That's bonkers

LeBron can give insights on his PEDs.

He's a genetic freak. You can still rupture your achilles or tear an ACL while on PED's.

He's an enigma.

A freak on PEDs.

Micic makes slightly less than PatC, but he's going back to Europe. He's expected to reach a buyout that gives back a good chunk of that $8M salary so he's free to sign back in Europe. So this is essentially a salary dump and it gives them the space to sign Turner - they needed this final push.

So far we've seen Sexton plus a 2nd for Nurkic and now PatC essentially salary dumped for 2 2nds. I think those are very comparable situations to what we have in Simons/Niang. Any deals around those two would probably be best to start from those valuations IMO.

I’d imagine it’s the guys AROUND Giannis that are available

We’ve already talked Portis quite a bit, and Kuzma is forbidden, so any other Buck(s) worth discussing?
