Giannis Thread - 6 Days To Go

[ABucksFan]

We've literally blown our window so you can say "Soft", but I'd say you're just "Mentally Weak"

Nah, we haven't blown the window, because it's still very much open in 2020-2021. There's nothing "mentally weak" about recognizing that. NOT recognizing that is ignorance.

Yes, it's open...but in our so called "window" this year will be harder than any of the previous years with the most pressure as well. Is it possible and do I want it to happen? Of course. Like I said and have been saying, If he doesn't sign make the calls and feel out the first quarter of the season, if its bad trade him, if its not go for it.

The goal of a professional sports team is to contend for championship.

Yeahh and no...I'm probably going to put $$$ at the top.

yep... pretty much no where in the world is this true except the pretend nature of american sports. we can read over and over about the small market owners privately knowing exactly what theyre up against...... but emotionally as fans we stay in denial and they want us that way because we'll spend and invest more.

[LUKE23]

The goal of ownership is money. The goal of management and players is a title.

[Matches Malone]

The goal of ownership is money. The goal of management and players is a title.

Yup. And if you think about it, winning is the best way for your team to make the most money, so really, winning is still 1.

for small markets staying competitive is rule #1. not titles

Owners "care" about championships, but there's a reason why most teams don't pay the luxury tax. $$$ talks.

[Sigra]

having his brother in team (guy who doesnt belong in NBA) is humilating a lot. but ok.

then we had to overpay for his body Pat. If we gave that contract to Wes he would be more than happy to stay.

now there is talk about how nobody dare to say something about contract to not upset him.

even talks that all of this is his trolling.

incredible pathetic and humilation from entire Milwaukee. He is really nice guy to allow this humilation and begging. Green font.

Winning "in the most profitable (i.e cheapest) way" is #1.

That's a bunch of garbage.

[Wonka]

We need a Pat centered billboard. Find other players that are actually PLAYERS who signed for less this offseason and make an informative graph for the multitudes

[har13]

the reason starts with a g and its because we were being held hostage

No wake up please, Giannis asked for Bogdan who we could have dor 2 bad contracts and Donte, if they wanted Holiday then they could offer 2 picks and if thet say no just go... Nothing to do with Giannis, please understand that.

how is what you just described not being held hostage by giannis?

players telling management do what i want or else. come on man

I could tell them to do that, why he helds hostage ?
Upgrade in a position we have problem is bad without even one pick?
I really cant understand that, maybe he told them to give 3 picks for Holiday too...please man, the problem has a name and its not Giannis, its your presidents who gave the keys to Horst..

Players can speak their opinion good or bad, they are not there to "shut up and play", i can and you can have an opinion and i m telling you right now if I was Giannis after what i saw this summer i never sign the contract, i go to Dallas next year , now thats a team with a good coach and a good FO, they got Portzigis and Hardaway for nothing , the players getting better over there and their coach maximizing their abilities..

nah.. i disagree and thats why the small markets do it. obviously id rather be a utah or portland than what weve been but there is such a thing as hanging in there and feeling good about being one of the last 4-8 teams standing each year. why cant that be a goal? its not like its easy either for markets like ours either

of course players hold teams hostage. i dont deny it or even suggest they shouldnt in the modern league.

it just sucks giannis is acting more like lebron then lillard. for milwaukees sake anyway

[SirChurros]

You can build a competitive team without Giannis, but you to act quickly and do it the correct way. Look at the Celtics. They haven't gotten over the hump yet, but they've built a perennial threat in the East and they didn't do so by hitting on superstars. They positioned themselves well in drafts and got really good players (Tatum, Brown).

If he doesn't sign, you:

- Trade Giannis immediately for the best package available
- Immediately shop Middleton, Holiday, Brook, DDV, everyone
- Tank the season and position yourself to get a top 5 pick
- Go from there

I read your posts and what i understand is that you want Bucks be up there with the best teams in the Nba for many years even if they never win a title, correct?

[har13]

Double post, sorry.

[StickeeFingaz]

I keep thinking about how Giannis needs to improve free throws, decision making, and post game/jump shots in order for this team to win a championship. We’ll see if he wants to take the easy way out.

[Gianstoppable]

So why is everyone super depressed today? Things I've seen recently trended positive. What's the latest non news nugget you guys are over-dissecting?

[greekbuck34]

Giannis misses 6 FTs= Mental Midget, he is the main problem, better he takes the supermax before we change our mind.
Bucks can't shoot for sh1 t = We have plenty of fine shooters. It's Giannis who turns them to crap.
Bucks doing a horrific trade = We were held hostage. Giannis is a terrorist.

Just imagine for a second of Giannis leaving. He will turn to an Antichrist in here.

[GHOSTofSIKMA]
