Can't imagine the market is going to be particularly robust for him

Likely non-existent. If Wall wants out of Houston, he'll have to take a buyout.

Are there any equivalent bad contracts to Wall? Or can any team combined multiple bad contracts to match it?

Perused the trade board and I actually don't hate the idea of the Clippers going after Wall. Something around Bledsoe/Kennard/Zubac for Wall and Daniel House. Problem is I legitimately don't know who should be giving up a protected pick in this scenario....

So the raptors fans were right all along about signing antetokounmpo this summer?

Wait, I thought Wall was back last year and had learned how to shoot in his off time? Best shape of his life.

I honestly feel like the Raptors are planning on trying to lure Giannis in a few years. Barring injury, he'll still be an MVP caliber player for at least one more contract.

They've already labelled him the Meek Greek.

Although they are hanging their hat on Giannis saying pre-draft that he thought he could be the best out of all of them. Good luck with that stretch.

Raps went from champs to lottery chumps in 2 years. They need something to get worked up over.

I dont like any other team having Antetokounmpo’s, I have this fantasy of Kostas and Alex on the Herd even if thats totally ridiculous :nod:

Think the idea of Alex making a roster is even more ridiculous.

They at least have Siakam to rebuild around, who is better than Giannis.

The implosion of 76ers might be favorite non-Bucks storyline of last/this season.

I went to a bucks game in 2016/17 against the sixers, I’m pretty sure it was the game Embiid basically called Milwaukee a shithole but not sure. Anyway I was blown away by how good Embiid was on both ends. This was when he was way slimmer and a decent amount faster.

He didn’t have a great shooting game but he dominated on defense and they couldn’t do anything but foul him on the other end, he even hit a dagger three to cap it off. Jabari and Giannis had good games but they struggled to score in the paint whenever embiid was in. The sixers were trash and he carried them to a win while playing like 20 minutes.

In my mind I thought he was the next Hakeem and they also had the number one pick sitting at home relaxing and they had lots of picks and the number one pick the next year. I thought Philly’s future **** on the bucks future even with Giannis and a 20 ppg Jabari. But it just never happened, they literally made every possible mistake along the way. Seeing it all accumulate into the situation it is now is mind blowing when I think back to how I envisioned them 3 or 4 years ago.

All of you who still want to get JJ Redick and all of you who want no part of him can rest. He has retired.

The NBA said to JJ Redick what JJ Redick said to his ex-girlfriend in their abortion contract: "I don't want it."

Also, Jon Snow's only dialogue from the last season of Game of Thrones. Still not over it.
