I just saw this article hours ago and Davis Opt-out in the Player Option and decided to re-sign with the Lakers.

https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-news-basketball-breaking-anthony-davis-to-opt-out-of-player-option-and-resign-with-the-los-angeles-lakers/

Its kinda expected for me though although I thought that he will also do what Kawhi did when he left the Raptors. What can you say?? Back-to-back championship for them?? They are now the favorites to win the title this upcoming season Cheesy

They are the favorites for the next season. I'm expecting a lot of offers for most of their players and it's their choice to get out or not. I've shared about Jason Kidd being part of the rumor of the choice of New Orleans.
There's also this rumor about Dwight Howard of transferring to Golden State Warriors. A lot of these actions have seen coming and let's wait which of those will happen for real.

"Sources: Ty Lue agrees to five-year deal to coach LA Clippers"
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30121649/sources-ty-lue-finalizing-five-year-deal-coach-la-clippers

So Clippers fired Doc Rivers only to hire his assistant lol, makes you wonder who was behind all that, the players or Steve Ballmer.
It's a good opportunity for Ty Lue to showcase his coaching abilities and since there's plenty of talent on that roster i think he will do just fine, at least a wcf appearance.

When he take over the team from a fired coach, that's usually he got his success.

First the cavs ; https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2016/01/cavs-fire-david-blatt.html

Now, the clippers, so can we expect the Clippers to be the NBA champion next season?

IIRC, I think that was two season where their experiment has failed, 25 years old is still young but he should make a decision early as we never know what could happen in the future, you know injury is still possible for this young talent as he is very aggressive in the floor.

He could stay with the Bucks but his voice needs to be heard too.
Talk about rebuilding the team.
I think what Lebron did was a good example. Now he got another championship.
He has a goal and he talked with the Lakers management about it. Taking out the young talents and putting veterans who have the same goal as him.

Giannis can do that now. I bet the Bucks management don't want to lose him just yet.

He should, he needs to be vocal as he is the leader of the Bucks team and he sees what the Management didn't see inside the court. I will say at 25 he is in the right age to really talk to the Management, yes he is an experiment of the Bucks, but that experiment will fail if they don't get a response from them. I'm sure the Bucks doesn't want to let go of him at this point, will still pursue other options but Giannis should be in the middle or at least have something to say regardless if someone is traded or acquire so that the missing pieces could be found.

Daryl Morey stepping down as Houston Rockets GM, sources say
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30120824/daryl-morey-stepping-houston-rockets-gm-sources-say

I actually expected this to happen at one point or another, even though Morey, the NBA or Fertitta will not admit, i think him stepping down from the Rockets GM job is somewhat connected with China and his tweet in support of the Hong Kong protests last year. As you all know this costed NBA a lot of money, Rockets games were banned in China, losing hundreds of millions in this current situation is not an option...so yeah i'm not surprised at all.
Interesting to see who they hire as a new head coach, will they still play small-ball post Morey, or maybe trade Harden (who is 31) and go for a full rebuild, a lot of question marks ahead of the new season for Rockets fans.

the time of experiment is already over, and he has proven himself that he cannot carry his team in the playoffs, he need someone to him him, go pair with the popular now, Butler, or even join the GSW and dominate the East, for sure Giannis would be a great player as Warriors coaching is different from Bucks

Come on, Giannis is only 25 years old, and he has enough time for experiments. Anyway, I think that he won't feel comfortable to share the team leader position with Curry, Thompson, Green. So, Warriors wouldn't be a good solution for him.

He should start thinking about that, instead of trying it hard why not try different things, playing alongside with other super stars is no longer new to this league.

LeBron and KD are the best examples of players who joined another sets of stars and good managements who able to bring them a ring, Giannis should start thinking about it, He's young and very aggressive injuries might him much better to start chasing in winning a title.

True!

This might really be in talks of pride but if you do really plan on winning a title then you should really be trying to mixed up with much more better team.Its not necessarily for him to leave

but if he do saw that he had might a chance on going to the top with other squad then it isnt really a bad option to take.You are right that even Lebron and KD did make such thing.

Its already been a norm and theres no need to think back if you should completely stick on where you had started.

Problem with Bucks is that, Lakers could get any player they want most of the time, even when they sucked so bad that for a lot of years they didn't even made it to playoffs and suddenly they got Lebron and AD, that is not something any team could manage, you can't just miss out on playoffs for years after years and get Lebron from Free agency, that is not normal for any team.

Bucks have Giannis which is great, but they are a small market team and no one is going "I want to finish out my contract and go play with Giannis next", everyone is looking for their own income and success and they know bucks can't provide neither. Lakers could give you the same money but in Los Angeles you can make a ton more money outside of basketball as well. So long story short, Bucks and Giannis needs to part ways, they can't suddenly become like LA and Lebron, that is not possible.

Buck have already offered Giannis a maximum salary, but not sure if he can get good role players than the current teammates, I guess the problem of Bucks is the coaching.

That's the problem with Bucks. They all did was to offer him a max salary.

If Giannis wants to make money, I'm sure he will stick to the team. But if some team can match the salary while at the same time, he will have good teammates on the transferred team, I'm sure he won't hesitate to accept it.

Giannis wants to fully use his prime and the championship should be achieved as early as possible.

If a team wants to get Giannis, they'll attach him with good supporting players and they have to buy out the contract of Giannis.

There might be teams that want to take him to their teams and would be willing to buy out his contract from Bucks but, it's also up to him.

I've been scrolling in Facebook today and I've seen this post about Giannis.

It is said to be a rumour about Giannis that might sign to Miami Heat. It is been a talk in the past here in the forum and after the playoffs, when Miami eliminated Bucks, he said that he will be staying. But then again, this rumour is alive again. I don't want this to happen and what I don't like more is that they are comparing him to KD, KD taking the heat while AD is safe? What are take on this?

It's a rumor, no reliable source, and though Giannis said he will stay with the team, that still doesn't guarantee that he will as he could change his mind as he become free agent. Great players now are looking for championship, if he stays, he can satisfy himself with the money he will get as he'll be getting a maximum salary but having a ring, that's unlikely with the current squad and coaching staff.

And that's what separates the greats like MJ or even Kobe with the current breed of great players notably Giannis or even James Harden. They always produce great numbers in regular season, but always felt short when it comes to big games.

It seems that the Bucks has the perfect pieces, they didn't change a lot from last year because they know they just have that mentality, but still with Giannis as franchise player, failed to deliver the good for the Bucks. Not saying that its his fault, but by now he should have develop a tougher mentality and have that winner attitude so he can be on another level.

He was an MVP for two straight season, getting an early exit in the playoffs would not help to boost his confidence.

If I were him, I would choose a team that could give a better chance of winning, the time of experiment is already over, and he has proven himself that he cannot carry his team in the playoffs, he need someone to him him, go pair with the popular now, Butler, or even join the GSW and dominate the East, for sure Giannis would be a great player as Warriors coaching is different from Bucks.

Giannis is such an awesome players he is one of the player whom James can give the baton as a superstar in the league and I agree on two things that he needs a strong back up support or he needs to be in a strong team just like what Lebron has been doing he now is the only players to have won three championship in three teams and those three teams, he has a good back up support.

Bring him teammates who can stand up, someone who can lift him when he's in need so whenever he's struggling or the opponents already got something to stop him, another sets of players will be there to produce for the team.

I would not agree to compare Giannis to MJ as he does not have the same talent as MJ, Giannis could be huge in producing numbers but this guys has no winning mentality. Sorry, I'm not a hater, I just don't see him develop of a player like MJ, not even LBJ or Kobe.

Indeed.
The injury was a bad sign.
Also, teams in the East are getting stronger. Bucks management really needs to do something about their roster.
Maximizing his strength while he is still young is the priority but that doesn't mean he doesn't need good roleplayers.

Every team needs to do it anyway, the East side are full of competition now, there's no such dominating anymore,

if Bucks wants to win it up they needed to surround Giannis with players who can help him not just by playing but also mentoring him.

Giannis is a package deal in terms of individualities but the game is for 5 players even you have
one dominating without the help of the other 4, you can's still win the game.

Quote

Fill it up with shooters. Try to train Giannis to pass accurately even with an attempt to force an attack on the paint.
There is still so much room for improvement for that big guy.

I'm with the idea of that possible signing as a long fan of Dallas Mavericks but my concern is, I doubt KP can stay healthy throughout the season. That means the future big trio won't utilize that much. I just hope (just in case this deal will be done) they will stay all healthy in the playoffs.

I'm not a fan of Mavericks but I can say that the franchise has changed when they got Luka in the roster and include KP too on it.
Now regarding on signing Giannis and the health of KP, if Giannis will truly go to Dallas I think he and Luka can carry the whole team like what LeBron and AD did to LA. What they only need is just a good back up team that will support them every game. I'm not concern of KP's health though since the Mavericks have many bigs (Boban, Powell, Kleba). Giannis-Luka duo seems good to me Cheesy

Quote from: harizen on October 14, 2020, 04:05:28 PM

P.S. For Bucks fans, no need to worry as Giannis will play the whole next season on Bucks jersey. He will become a free agent after that season and his decision will be based on how far the Bucks will end up next season. Bucks need to make a move to surround Giannis with much good role players if they want to keep him in the future.

Yes he still has one more year to play with the Bucks.
They choked twice already against the Raptors and against the Heat. What Bucks need right now is a legitimate all-star player that will help Giannis if they really want to win a title next year. Trade some of the old players in Bucks already and get some young players that has potential. If they will not change their roster for the next season, there is a high chance that he will totally leave the team.
