Its the regular season not the playoffs, we can still win 60 games with DDV learning the ropes as a starter, but IN the playoffs I dont think that we are a contender with Wes or JR as our starting SG. DDV or somebody HAS TO STEP UP.

come again?

the Bucks won the first two rounds of playoff games...and the first two games against the raps...without Brogdon.

i'm very much confused by your take.

Brogdon came back Game 5 against the Celtics and was probably our second best player vs. Toronto.

No, there's a very good chance Giannis does not know who Masai even is

The story every Toronto fan believes that Masai is some kind of lifelong friend of the family who helped them immigrate to Greece is false. That is where most of this comes from.

But to have 3 Antetokounmpos? Then wait on Alex and my dream will be complete. #AllBros

Alex may just be a first round pick. Much tougher to obtain. That would be freakin cool to get him though. I'd also take Kostas over Thansis. I like that we added him and hope for the best. Athletic defensive minded so that's good. Not sure on how much he will play but off the court I think he will be a great add. Practice and training guy plus being Giannis' brother. All good. Take all 4.

Well sure, but why would you think we'd do that?

Video evidence from Giannis good enough for you? Start watching at the 10:33 mark.

The possibility was being discussed prior to that post.

Darn I was wrong. I do like how the reporter had much more to say about their relationship than Giannis did. Sounds like you guys

He helped his parents get visas for the United States. Rap fans believed masai brought his family to Greece from Nigeria and have been family friends for 20 plus years.

Well the reporter has done the research. Giannis obviously didn't want to get too much into it as it would kill the Bucks morale before the ECF game 1...

Giannis will re-sign with the Bucks and send Masai a cheese and sausage basket to say thanks.

It would be like a rap concert where you have the guy you came to see along with a bunch of other dudes on stage holding mics and doing nothing else.

In 1 year, hopefully Horst puts together his own D12.

Giannis = Eminem
Alex = Obie Trice
Thanasis = Proof
Kostis = Bizarre

I thought herb helped them you would think a us senator would have more pull than masai but I could be wrong. Have Raptors fans always been like this on here?

It's still backwards logic to think that Giannis will sign with Toronto because of that singular relationship, which we really do not know how close they truly are. That quote does not really say much, like I said the reporter spoke on it much more than he did. How many lifelong relationships do you think Giannis has built within the Bucks organization? This is the team that took the chance on him and and acclimated him and his family to America. He has preached loyalty 100x before. Bucks can offer him 100m more than anyone else next summer. There is a great chance he will be staying with the Bucks

I ask Raptors fans to imagine if the roles were reversed, it would be supper annoying to have another fanbase constantly coming over and thinking they can poach your superstar because of a singular relationship. Just give it a rest and talk about it on your own forum if you please.

If having Kostas on the team had any effect on Giannis' decision the Mavs wouldn't have gotten rid of him and he would be claimed way before he got to the Raptors.

rilamann · Post #1560 » by **rilamann** » Fri Jul 19, 2019 11:11 pm

Not super hyped at the idea of signing JR Smith, however. When we're in a big playoff game and Middleton is having one of his 6pt games and Bledsoe is scared ****, JR Smith is the type of player who can come in off the bench and if he's hot, hit 4 out of 5 3s in a blink. That could be useful.
