Giannis resigns with Milwaukee for 228.2 million

[crudebar]

Like Yelich resigning in Milwaukee a year before him, stars prove that the country doesn't revolve around the coasts as the sports media wants you to believe.

 

[bodyforlife]

I'm pretty sure he stayed with the team.

 

[PatsFan1283]

Damn Yelich passed up all those big endorsement deals on the coasts?

 

[Knightrofins]

I wanted him in Miami next year but glad he at least stuck with his team

I am sure you did

I am interested to see how Miami looks this year. Still not sold on them as a top 4 eastern conference team. Was very wrong about them last season though. But was that simply because of the bubble? Will start to find out soon enouugh.

NBA teams make that much $$$?

Thought the industry was in the shitter..

I have
1) Bucks
2) Celtics
3-6 can be either Philly, Miami, Toronto, Indy (anyone can choose the order)

The bubble benefited Miami last year. On a neutral court, they are THAT good. However I'm not sure if they would have went to Milwaukee or Boston and won some of those games?

Curious to see their next move (is Harden in play?). I dont want to give up Tyler Herro but he is the ULTAMITE trade chip at the moment.

Its funny how i dont like watching regular season basketball but i'll watch the HEAT whenever they are on

Unfortunately milwaukee is a shitty city

and he won’t win anything

but respect the loyalty

Giannis is a tier 2 star in this league. Sure it's a win for Milwaukee that he stayed but, at this point it's a total stretch that they win a title with him. Earlier this year Crudebar predicted the Bucks would win the title inside the bubble. Of course the bucks fizzled out and Giannis missed a few games to a minor injury in the deciding series that they lost.

hes a first tier star but hes definitely not the face of the league or anything like that. and milwaukee will always be a very good team with him but wont be able to get over the hump. this is like cleveland's first stint with lebron basically.

only giannis has no jumper at all and milwaukee is even worse than cleveland as a city

hahahaha....i read this title 3 times....every time i knew what he meant but still had to think twice each time

God made hyphens for a reason: re-signing.

thanks for your... contribution

He quit Milwaukee for a shit ton of $. Unaware, thnx op.

 

[Willie99]

I'm still ecstatic Kyrie bolted for the Nets

Oh, and I'm happy for the Bucks and their fans, loyalty is a lost art

 

[Seymour]

Good for Giannis - nice to see there are other Kobe's and Duncan's - and James wonders why he is not Jordan no matter how much fake news tells us he is

"When I saw Magic, Bird and Thomas - I didnt want to join them - I wanted to beat them", MJ

 

[HacheMan]

He should have forced their hand in getting him some help

 

[crudebar]

Well they did get jrue holiday. They messed up that Bojan signing. I guess he wasn't thrilled with them getting Holiday and being relegated to the 4th option then reneged on the under the table deal the bucks made with him.

Not much else they could do as they are pretty much "hard capped out."

Would have to re-make the whole team to land James Harden and who knows what the chemistry between him and Giannis would be like..

Kobe didn’t want out of LA now?

I guess tragically dying in a plane crash has a few perks

You are correct. But good lord have you turned argumentative.

It's almost to Enfuego levels at this point.
