Last night he said it should be a fun next 48 hours for Bucks fans.

Obviously you guys have seen the flight plans. They may or may not represent the Bucks ownership converging on Milwaukee for either a Burning Man winter festival or a Giannis SuperMax final negotiating session.

Don't think anyone truly knows what will happen, but I do feel confident that we'll have some resolution on this by tomorrow night at the latest.

Maybe it's the owners flying here to finalize the sale of the team.

I know people were hyper-analyzing his on court demeanor, but that could have just as much been stress as it was frustration or wanting to leave.

Is this all a hunch?

On the sixth day of Giannis, Milwaukee gave to me,
Six guards a-shooting,
Five air-balled threes,
Four baseline dunks,
Three Harden Rumors,
Two Gyro-Steps,
and a fast break with the Greek Freak.
Amos Barshad: "So you got a job, a place to live, a license? What’s left?"

Giannis: “Nothing. Just get a ring now.”

Giannis is gunna sign, its about when


If he was surely "going to sign" it would have been done already. If his mind is made up, there's no sense in dragging this out, having to field the questions, having your teammates field questions, or risking severe career altering injuries in preseason games. Yet, you've got people going around, like yourself, saying, "it's not if, it's when." No, the logic there doesn't fly.

taxes probably took 40-50 percent of that. i saw where he invested like 7 mil in one company.


Sure, but the point remains. Taxes are going to take just as much of the next contract.

Most likely more depending on what tax implementations happen between then and now

I just assumed they were flying in for the big announcement of a contract extension for DJ Wilson.

Maybe they’re just seeing the game, I presume owners can still attend right?

I haven't been this excited since the front office asked us to be excited about a lightshow that told us to be excited about a jersey.

Why would the billionaire owners fly in to watch Jordan Nwora and Sam Merrill when the season opener is in a week

Or why wouldn't they fly in for the first preseason game?

They might be able to afford to fly in more than once
