BO during the covid boom:

"Man, have you seen what XXXX is doing? Glad I invested in him, his stuff is skyrocketing!"

Post-covid-boom:

"Hope y'all didn't invest in XXXX, his stuff is TANKING..."

Not being a di**, I’m genuinely asking what do you have? No, I’m not paying current eBay prices since prices ‘are going to tank’. But I may be interested prior to you going to eBay if you have anything mid to high-end. Especially if you’re anticipating receiving tanking prices.

Big man that needs a 1a to win a 'ship, you say?

Giannis = AD minus the street clothes.

YMMV.

RookieAddict · 06-07-2021, 09:08 PM

Good let prices crash. Then I can buy more.

This is a bad take.

Was just sharing my thoughts on this as the market has changed and most teams are stronger. Just a friendly discussion and not trying to have any personal gains from this at all. No alternative benefits at all.

I bought all of my Giannis in 13-14 and 14-15 on the cheap…we are talking Prizm base for 8.00, 13-14 Prizm blue die cut for less than 75.00….Select Purple Prizm for 35.00. I’ve sold a total of two of Giannis out of of the 50 plus RC I have. Giannis no matter what happens in this series is a hold!!!!! He’s young, and still plenty of time for him to win chips!

armoursave · 06-07-2021, 09:23 PM

I appreciate the rush to Giannis’ defense but.......yikes. He’s such a good dude and all that but....yeah, just wow.

Dame · 06-07-2021, 09:36 PM

Giannis reminds me of David Robinson’s career pre Duncan. Imposing inside presence and a remarkable 2 way player. Always excels in the regular season but somehow doesn’t exceed expectations in the postseason.

Greek is capable of putting up blue chip, first option numbers but he’s marginalized in the playoffs for obvious reasons. He’ll have the same results until you pair him with an elite, versatile shooter / floor raiser that can put fear into defenses. You also need to get rid of Budddhaholder because his blueprint sucks.

Bucks FO has failed him tbh.

Great take. The Robinson comp is a good one.

bdrr · 06-07-2021, 09:48 PM

We live in an era of super teams and the Bucks gave him Middleton and Holiday. I’m not sure how anybody thought this wasn’t the end result.

Good call. I vividly remember the Admiral winning the regular season MVP in 1995 and then getting absolutely destroyed by Hakeem in the WCF. He was a monster in the regular season but just didn't come up as big during the postseason.

Aside from the fact that his primer has been better than the Admiral's, it's a great comparison. Who was the best player in the Spurs during the Robinson era - sans him?

If Bud is Bob Hill, can the Bucks find their Pop?

He's the reigning DPOY

Absknicks · 06-08-2021, 05:25 AM

He's still not a good passer. Couple that with the poor shooting and it's hard to carry your team to a title with such glaring deficiencies. Just so limited compared to a guy like Luka who can do everything at an elite level.

Gotta double check your research on that one, homie. Giannis was MVP and DPOY last year.

Luka cant make it past first round, time to sell him off

Jordan's tanking, too. What's his excuse? Also failing to show up for the playoffs?

Scottish Punk · 06-08-2021, 08:11 AM

I think Giannis' big issue is still shooting. Teams can sag down and clog the paint. He still does a lot of eurostep bully ball to the rim. Until teams respect that he can hit mid range or 3-pointers than he is going to have issues in the playoffs. His defense is fine, his passing has improved. He is unstoppable in transition, but when teams slow the pace in the playoffs and get back on defense, than you can slow him down.

Also, of course Middleton and Holiday aren't superstars to counter another team.

Been doing this a long time, but you're looking to sell off at the worst time.

Just because you've been doing something a long time doesn't mean you're good at it.

This right here and teams know it especially the good teams. When he gets in a half court offense he is basically just any other another guy.
