Where will Giannis play in 2021-22? 

Post#1 » by basketballRob » Wed Jul 24, 2019 10:58 pm

Very rarely do young stars stay after the first contract.

He's eligible for a contract after next season and if he doesn't sign maybe they trade him. Clippers, Lakers, and Rockets no longer have draft picks to trade so where will he end up.

I would think the Knicks might be the frontrunner.

Probably the bucks but they need to do a better job than they did this off season or he might and maybe should leave.

Hopefully he stays though.

Probably in Milwaukee for a supermax. Unlike domestic USA players, which have their hometowns (+college) and have a special view on NY, LA... etc... Foreign players often feel their first team and city as their US home. Even in the XXI century they in most cases stay loyal to the team which drafted them or where they spend most of their career, and if they don't have problems with a coach or playing time, they don't care if they play for the small-market team.

Not Milwaukee. He's gonna spend the next two years seeing different, great players every night while he looks to his right each night and sees Kris Middleton.

Giannis doesn’t seem like he cares about bright lights and the Bucks are the clear favorites in the East next year as is. I think he sticks around. They can’t afford to have any more cheap moves like letting Brogdon go though.

The owners specifically gave Horst an extension so that he wouldn't try to pull any big salary addition moves to 'swing for the fences' or feel the need to make a move to impress Giannis to keep his job. The Brogdan trade is last big move they make before they either trade Giannis or lose him. Horst will be in Milwaukee longer than Giannis is.

Is this the "Post a pic of Giannis in you favorite teams jersey" thread?

Bucks, would be stunned if he leaves.

He said it himself, he’s loyal.

On the bench he'll see the best coach he's played under in the NBA. Who encourages him to shoot, unlike his previous "coach", who is currently scheming in La La land.

Milwaukee

Definitely

Is this a rhetorical question?

Fans of other franchises get over it

He himself said that several times

That he is going to be a Buck for a career-time

It makes stupidly perfect sense

I am not a Milwaukee fan

You can lock the tread now
