Ok Giannis, now that's how you go win a title for your team. One of the best closeout performances ever.

Tremendous ending to a crazy season. Congrats to Buck fans, your team was every bit full measure for your win!

I think giannis just overtook doncic for highest trade value with that finals performance

I think you could argue he was already there. But it doesn't really matter as both their actual trade value is either infinite or zero depending on how you want to look at it since neither guy is getting traded. But its his league right now. No question about that. Giannis is one bad bad man and when he's doing that....

I’m going offer 6 and 2 future firsts for Luka .
You get 3 chance of drafting a free throw shooter.

I legitimately wonder if he has to remember to breath some days.

Hm. I like Dane more than most, but I never have seen him break news - he’s more of an analyst. Last year he started to get more access, so who knows. I will say that Rosas’ reputation is that he asks about everyone. Expect leaks from non-traditional sources when someone else (player, agent, team) has something to gain, though I don’t see that here.

For the record, Gallo does not sound like the type of player Rosas claimed to be looking for at the end of the regular season:

1. Defend the rim
2. Defend the pick-and-roll
3. Rebound

Gallinari is 0-for-3 on that list.

I guess we’ll see.

Great to see a guy like Giannis win the title and FMVP, well deserved.

See that Mark Cuban, could have been your team? But Mr Smartest Guy in the Room couldnt let basketball people make the basketball decisions.

I'll sta it was one more time. If Chris Paul opts out of 44 mill and signs with LA. There need to be a legit investigation by a third party and if tampering is found, The Lakers need gutted for tampering. People need banned, pics need taken away, and suspensions need delt out.

I’ve been saying all season they keep him. I honestly don’t think this even enters the equation.

The only way it might is if it makes ownership more so feel that the 20th pick won’t help now and why not move it; I.e Dunn and 20 for _________. (I think I threw out Kendrick and 34 or 36 previously in that vein and it was not so greatly received)

I was a big Okongwu fan last draft, but seeing a guy like Tillman go late in the 1st and Queta looking to go in the 25-35 range really makes me question how much I valued him.

Poor guy got beat up too much playing the pistons and Knicks in the 80s.

I’ll get some slack for this but unless the Lakers are allowed to go full tampering, the suns have a better shot than the Lakers next season at a title.
