Can’t wait for whatever team he leaves for his card to triple. If not
Next season season after

Shouldn't this be the standard for every pro athlete?

I’d think the bucks will want a package similar to what the pelicans got for AD. A couple good young pieces and multiple first round picks.

Otherwise nothing wrong with fielding a good team again and trying to win a title. Reasonable value in trying to win. Despite the rough playoffs it would be short sited to not expect the bucks to be a contender again.

This.

If Giannis asks for a trade, sure, move him. But why on Earth would you take Wiggins horrible contract in order to get a number 2 pick where you can pick the same player at 4?

Someone said before, even a team like Atlanta can offer something better (Collins + Reddish + Huerter + pick).

For sure. Sadly it seems not to be the case for many.

As with any profession, for some people it's their passion and they want to be great at it. For others, it's just a job.

If you are the Bucks and you are trading your franchise you aren't going after Andrew Wiggins - you are going after prime young talent. The 2nd pick has value but Wiggins has no value. It's why I suggested Sixers, Hawks, Heat, Celtics, Raptors. All of these teams either have young talent, a superstar to move, and don't saddle the Bucks with a bunch of bad money.

After a month and a half I finally got these back from PSA. Actually went 3 for 3 on these but I told Jewcer to sell the third one.

If you are trading away Giannis because he wants to leave, they will work a deal with wherever he wants to go. Milwaukee aren't gonna screw him over.

Otherwise he'll wait and leave for absolutely nothing.

Milwaukee don't have all the leverage here. I don't know why he'd go anywhere East unless he thinks they can be better than the Bucks with him there. He is already the top of the conference and it's on him why they lost. Giannis needs to get better and Mil need a top level guard like a Lowry at least.

Age is less important than the fact that he's already played 7 seasons in the NBA.

He can work on it all he wants, but his shot mechanics just aren't very good.

They might work with him to find a solution, but there's no way they're trading him to the Warriors for Wiggins and a pick. They're still a business with a view to the future so they'll do a lot things before they do that.

Brogdon would have been nice in Milwaukee. A Chris Paul/Lowry type would be interesting also.

I live in Milwaukee and on the radio they said Giannis had lunch with one of the Bucks owners and was told the Bucks were gonna be spending some $$ on their roster to help him.

That’s what they have to say though. Who’s out there.

Congrats on the grades! Isn't this the worst possible time to sell? These are way down from their highs last month, and they seem to be going down daily. You may want to ask Jewcer to hold that one until early next year when the season starts up again.

Probably but everyone is different. If he’s in for cheap and has multiple nothing wrong with pocketing a couple grand. I agree that I think these double somepoint next season though.

yiguiri2002 · 09-15-2020, 12:15 PM

A couple of things to point out from Giannis postseason:

- He averaged 22, 11 and 5 against the Heat. His Game Score of 18.1 was the second best in the series behind Jimmy Butler.

- So far, he's number 3 in PER, number 8 in WS/48 and number 1 in BPM this offseason.

He has to improve his mid-range game still, but those are pretty good numbers for someone without an offensive game and who can easily be contained in a series.

Got this back from BGS today. Was hoping for an 8.5 but was prepared for an 8. Stoked to get the 8.5 but I was not expecting 9.5 for edges. Oh well. I’ll take it for sure. Still one of my fav cards.

Giannis posting on Instagram he loves Milwaukee and ready for next year. I hope
It’s all fluff but I don’t think it is.
