I have no idea how true this rumor is but this is what is being reported. I am going to look for other confirmations:

You don't say, they haven't been obsessed for years now. Follow the breadcrumb trail & the Bogdan fiasco.

If Giannis leaves for the Lakers might as well just abolish small market teams. Just have the Lakers, Warriors, Heat etc. duke it out every year

I like LeBron, I like Giannis, I want them both to succeed, but I would not like that at all.

Good. Let's stop now another Bucks trade because of tampering.

This stuff is basically of the equivalent of turning on trade override and forced contracts in NBA 2K and then playing every game on Rookie difficulty.

This isn't happening. Giannis is above that. I think.

So how much money would each of them have to sacrify, to get them all under the cap? Then there are cap holds and Dengs 5M cap hit.

I mean it would be funny to watch people lose their ****. I personally refuse to believe that Giannis is another KD.

Won't matter if this happens. Luka will take them all out and leapfrog all of them in the GOAT convo.
