This crap looks suspect. Once he lock up for 5 years, they will tell him they losing money. Giannis needs to understand that 1. The cap shrinking.2- nobody signing in that frigid boring city.3- they are in cap hell with 0 trade value.4- owners are cheap

Agreed! on the other hand though, NO GIANNIS. NO TEAM. NO REVENUE. The impact Giannis has had on the city is similar to that of Vince Carter to Toronto! Without him Wisconsin becomes the dairy capital again. Im betting they give him whatever he asks for.

So what has kept you from building a better team up to now?

That's true...so they technically wouldn't be lying.
