**** would have to go so sideways in the next 2 years (like, career altering injuries to Midds, Jrue, or both) for this team to not still be a contender. It's a zero on the worry scale for me.
I'm not saying we should be worried but there is a real possibility this team is a shell of it current self in two years.
Downside
-I think it is less than 50/50 on if BroLo will be a passable center on the wrong side 35
-I would expect at least some decline in Jrue (33)/Kris (32)
-DDV likely gone after this year
-Only a late first in the next 2 drafts
-$0 in Tax Space
-If we lose before finals the next 2 years, will owners really want to pay the tax again? (TBH, I wouldn't)
Upside
-Giannis will be getting better
-Always a ring chaser or two add
-Core of Giannis/Midds/Jrue/Allen in tact; maybe Bobby re-upped
-Add tMLE?
Feel free to correct my negativity. But I'm not betting on Midds/Jrue being proper sidekicks on a contender 2 years from now. I could see Giannis wanting a goodbye Milwaukee year before they blow it up.
