Was wondering when Shams would pop his head out to stir more drama.

Giannis could come out and say I'm 100% staying with Milwaukee for the rest of my career, and Shams could still say there's noting set in stone because he can't sign an extension for another 14 months.

Shams/espn is just embarrassing. Is this really the content people want? Also if they can find someone that believes Giannis will be traded this summer I want to sell them a bridge.

I guess if you dig a hole too deep, there’s no way out.

At this point I can see it's pass the deadline...Bucks are in first place...Giannis is in the MVP race....and Sham is still saying stuff like this to save face.

I am telling you guys: Bucks over, Giannis MVP, Doc COY.

I can't find a place that will let me parlay but Doc is 100:1 on COY alone. I don't gamble but I think that's off by an order of magnitude.

ESPN digs its own grave with each subsequent day. I know very few self-respecting people who pay attention to anything they're up to.

https://www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/giannis-antetokounmpo-reportedly-had-some-very-real-conversations-with-bucks-about-unsettled-future

While the Bucks still seem one player away (unless Khris Middleton can regain his All-Star/Olympian form), Antetokounmpo has to ask himself if the other teams he might jump to really get him closer to a ring?

Until Giannis Antetokounmpo clearly, definitively says, “I will be a Milwaukee Buck next season,” the speculation about his future will not stop. The Knicks’ decision to extend Mikal Bridges — making him unavailable for trade for six months, something they would not have done if they believed Antetokounmpo would be available this summer — has not slowed the rumors. Even if the Greek Freak came out today and said he was staying put on social media, the rumors would not stop.

Quality writing.

I think you did, and they edited it out. So nice work.

I was being optimistic that the return of NBC would be that to the good ol' days of the NBA where they promoted the product. But I guess not.

Shams has to be trolling and he still gets clicks, so I doubt he cares either way. Sad the NBA promotes it though.
