As a fan, yeah i want him here forever. But as a person, is it some kind of flaw to not want to live in Milwaukee when he was randomly put here through a draft? Guy has spent almost a decade here. I was born here and debate every year if I should move somewhere else.
I've heard a lot of things about how he wasn't planning on staying in MKE long-term. You can say it was disproven when he signed the max contract, but I don't think it is that simple. Heard 2 years ago that he was more likely to leave if we won a championship because in his mind that is what he owed the city. What else can he do besides be indebted forever? I think there was a real possibility he was thinking of becoming a FA and it was an extremely tough decision. Who knows if he stays or go. I only care about how he handles it. Otherwise, I'm enjoying the ride.

**** 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.

His bounce passes this year I've noticed are much smoother than ever.

That's the way I read it.
RogerMurdock wrote:I think people are worried too much about that quote. It's almost certainly just him being overly honest, just saying, "I love it here, but who knows what the future holds?" He probably should have thought twice about it, but I don't think there's anything more to it than him just saying that he doesn't have a crystal ball. I mean, I love my wife and plan on being with her until she dies first, but hey, who knows? Maybe she'll destroy my collection of retro video games/consoles and I'll have to send her packing. She was just supportive of me considering buying Packers stock, though, so I think we're probably good until at least next decade.

My opinion about the statement of Giannis is that he seems that he is not feeling ok with the team the new season. You can easily understand that Giannis feels uncomfortable with the Jrew and Khris relationship on and off the court and that he feels there is no connection. Go and watch the last press conferences of Giannis, (he seems unhappy and not having a good time) and compare them with last years. Especially the body language of the press conference with George Hill. Or watch the bucks bench during the games, it is like they lost connection and chemistry...
