5 is even pushing it. 1 year less than whatever is on their contract seems like the average expectation at this point.

Man lebron has started a really bad trend. Everyone trying to buddy up. I miss the rivalries

Reason why I don't discount his losses vs the Warriors unlike his fans. He started this nonsense in the summer of 2010, ad now other star players are copying it.

Just wait until Giannis leaves the Bucks, lets hope it's not to Dallas to join Luka.

Irving, Harden, Durant - thats 3 big egos in same locker room - yikes! And mucho dinero for just 3 guys! Rest of the team, vets on minimum and MLE..

Why not Giannis with Luka, whats wrong with that combo?? Porzingis is damage goods anyway.

It's funny to see Lebron stans complain about the KD Warriors when Lebron started this superfriends trend.

If the Nets click and knock off Lebron, you can bet they're going to complain again.

He turned down being the 1st 50 mil a year player in the NBA? He must really be pissed about Morey leaving. Damn.

Just for entertainment value on and off the floor(mostly for the drama!), I'm all for Harden on the Nets.

that's why finding a pippen is crucial in those 5 years. the moment you get hint you have superstar player on your hand you should put all chips on your pippen. whatever is through the draft or trade. But again this also depends on superstar personality. Rose was never like that, neither was Jimmy but then it's question is Jimmy superstar or just star.

The Rockets and Trail Blazers are finalizing an agreement on a trade that will send forward Robert Covington to Portland, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (via Twitter). In exchange for Covington, Houston will acquire forward Trevor Ariza, the No. 16 pick in the 2020 draft, and Portland’s protected 2021 first-round selection, sources tell Wojnarowski.

That's a huge move for Milwaukee and a very good partner for Giannis. They still need more though.

I will say, if they wanted to balance the salaries, they could make it happen.. atleast once LeVert's extension is officially on the cap.

Why would they want Westbrick? Huh?

That's a great trade for MIlwaukee. Jrue checks a lot of boxes for what Milwaukee needs.

The Bucks traded 3 first round picks plus two future pick swaps.

Okay that's a little much. If Giannis leaves those could be lottery picks in the future.

The NBA is fun! Love these trades. Teams and players trying to win.

3 FRPs, 1 starter and 1 rotation player for Jrue...that’s a ton of assets.
