The Bucks management is keen on keeping Giannis on their city maybe that the reason why they leak that info, they never mind that fine as that is only a small amount for them compared to what Giannis brings to the economy of Milwaukee. For me the Bucks won't be in the Finals this season if they won't acquire another superstar to compliment Giannis.
Honestly, I didn't follow Bucks for years until Giannis came to the team. He's now the face of the team and they should do everything to keep and make the boy the entire attraction of the team. Having a tandem with Giannis would be a good addition to the team but who could that be? someone who can play and have a connection with him. Two Lopez's are already on the team and there's Korver. Only few superstars doesn't have a team until now, maybe Melo?

Don't talk about pairing melo with Giannis. Melo would only ruin Giannis career if they would be team up in the Bucks. They already has Middleton which I think fit to be Giannis tandem and they only needs chemistry to fully unlock their potential as the one two punch of the Bucks.

When Giannis came to the team, Bucks isn't one of the noticeable teams and continue to be like that on the following seasons. But during that off-night season, Giannis worked hard and finally after 3 seasons with the Bucks, he now earned the Most Improved Player award and the rest is history. That's also the time when Bucks have a good pick on Malcolm Brogdon which became the Rookie of the Year that season although he was traded now to another team.

I don't see Bucks as good when it comes to trade. They didn't mostly involve in catching a big fish. Bucks really have a good decision picking this young guy and I think they already saw the potential of him that's why they offer long year contract back then.

I like how they are building the team, only one or two superstar/s and all remained are role players. But I don't know how long they will rely on that process in the purpose of getting the NBA title.

Kris Middleton is a real nice piece.  He might not be the biggest name in the game but he is really good and a big reason why the bucks are decent.  I think they locked him up for a couple of years as well.  The knicks could use a guy like Middleton who isnt first fiddle but a close second

Miami doesn't have a young roster that could fit OKC's rebuilding in my opinion. Plus their young players are tie with huge salaries as well so I don't know how Miami can get away with that one. And if ever they do trade, will Butler and Paul click? I mean two players with large ego, we have seen it didn't last in Houston with Harden and Paul.

I think the problem really was James, he wants t lead the team when he is not clutch as Paul, IIRC, Lin also played with the Rockets and at that time, Lin was already considered as a star but they don't blend well, therefore I think that Harden does not want a star player to play with him.

I still remember Harden's interview after they lost to GSW and he says he knows where the problem is. And I think it's clear now that Paul is, that is according to him, that's why Paul was booted out of Houston.

Now that Harden is with WB, let's see if I'm wrong, I'm really confident I am not.
WB and Harden I think is not going to build a great chemistry.

No worries mate, we have a nice discussions about that months ago when we hear that the two will team up in Houston. I'm on the side that it won't prosper as the two are ball hog.

I agree, it's not so much about ball hog, it's a type of ay.  Some people can only play with the ball in their hands and others do better off the ball, it's why steph and klay work so well.  Harden and Westbrook's together is a hail mary by their management.  Without Westbrook they know they couldnt compete so they had to do something just dont know if this was the wisest move

Yep, this fine doesn't make any sense, seems like NBA can't find some middle ground, from teams tampering with other teams player, we came to this where team can't say that they will offer new contract to their own player..

Giannis plays for Milwaukee Bucks, they are the only team that can offer him supermax contract, and when stating the obvious, they got fined. And yes, he is one of the few players in NBA that deserves supermax.
What do we expect from Bucks? They will not allow to lose him and even paying that fine will affect nothing at all. They will do everything to keep him and give offer that's impossible for him to resist. Giannis deserves whatever he's getting right now. He gives his very best and fans love him resulting the franchise to also
benefit from keeping him in the team.

With how Bucks handling Giannis' future, it's also better to have good teammates to add bigger chances to win the title.

He would get $50.76 million a year starting next season if the plan push through and he would be on the top of the list  Smiley.




Good for him, well deserve as he work hard to improve and he is still young, so definitely we can expect some more important from him in the long run.
Thanks for showing us these salary rates from superstar, what amaze me was Paul George, I thought after the injury, his career will also go down, but he work hard to recover and be back on his form, that kind of salary is big enough that would inspires him more to play.

James harden and Russell Westbrook both played in the same team with a very big salary, they should carry this team to the NBA finals so they will not be separated in the future.

If that contract would push through, how many years would that be?

I will assume the supermax contract should not over a 5-year deal. I remember GSW's Steph Curry is currently on a supermax contract. Never heard of 6 or more or maybe I just missed it. Just someone corrects me here if I'm wrong but I'm sure there's no direct 6-year deal supermax contract up to date. It should be an extension.

Just this off-season, Damian Lillard sign a supermax contract too but for a 4-year deal. So maybe minimum 4 but not more than 5? lol.

He would get $50.76 million a year starting next season if the plan push through and he would be on the top of the list  Smiley.

The NBA has just fined the Bucks $50K for disclosing their plans of signing Antetokounmpo to a supermax contract next summer that worth $253.8 million, it would be a history in the NBA.

If that contract would push through, how many years would that be?

Is Giannis deserve that much?

What a dumb fine made by NBA again, I really don't get the point on why they would give a fine on plan for a player they already have. It's like just saying their plans for the future for their own players I don't see how they violated anything especially when it is still the off season and Giannis is already half way done to his contract. I believe I have seen similar news about opinions from the GMs and the owners but I didn't see any reports of a fine that followed after making the comment. I don't know if this is a new rule or they really have favorites within the NBA.

With the NBA management handing out penalties to teams for tampering, there maybe some teams like the Nets who wants to stay quiet while a negotiation is ongoing with Melo. Who knows? I do hope he was able to impress some teams and get a deal before the new season starts.
Still hoping for him to be signed up from any teams who will trust him to play back, Melo needs someone who will manage both his attitude and how he can still play the game. There's a lot of people who wanted to see how he changed up and how he will give something interesting with the entire season that he will going to play. Whoever team if there's someone that still interested, it's gonna be a good advertising for the franchise.
There's a lot of people wanted to see him play more seasons but it seems franchise owner isn't interested. Maybe try lowering his pride and offer a bargain salary will do. The problem with Melo is his attitude and his playing style is old school. Maybe addition to that is, they can't see his eagerness or thirst in ring or atleast some full effort to lift the team. He just wanted to play and earned money. Sorry but that's what i'm seeing. Unlike with D. Rose, even with his condition the eagerness is still there.

Looks like we can't see Carmelo Anthony now this upcoming season.

Brooklyn Nets is the closest team on the rumor list that might sign Melo but instead, they sign other players despite the push from Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and the other Nets.

It's almost a game time next week (Pre-Season) games and I doubt any trading movement "involving him" will happen once the season starts on 10/23. Majority of all teams are done now finalizing their lineup.

There are no teams left now on the rumor list that might sign Melo even for low chances.

He still have a chance.
Since he is a free agent there an exemption for them and also from the G-League.

I am sad though that it will not be a contract for a full year. But when given a chance, I bet he should be showcasing everything he got.

On the other news.
Dwight Howard was recently interviewed and told this.

Quote
“I hated Draymond. I’m like, ‘This dude is a**.’ But I sat back this year and really watched everything he did. I was really impressed.”@DwightHoward on @Money23Green

Does it matter? Draymond doesnt need this kind of statement. Grin

Seven NBA Players Primed to Take the Leap and Bring Their Teams With Them

The development of Aaron Gordon, Myles Turner, Josh Richardson, Anfernee Simons, Jayson Tatum, D’Angelo Russell, and Kyle Kuzma could determine the fates of their respective teams

https://www.theringer.com/nba-preview/2019/9/25/20882272/seven-breakout-nba-players-dangelo-russell-jayson-tatum




Out of those mentioned, my money would be on Myles Turner. I watched Pacers a lot last season due the  fact that my countryman Bogdanovic played for them, and i really liked Turner. Great defensive player, excellent rim protector and it is a shame that he doesn't get more minutes, but then again Sabonis is also good and verstaile player. Pacers were fun to watch last season, they played nice team basketball despite loosing their main player Oladipo early in the season, and if he manages to keep healthy this season, Pacers could definitely have deep playoff run. But to be considered contenders they need 1 more quality  perimeter player, and i don't see how they can get one without trading Turner or Sabonis. Hard choice..

There are no teams left now on the rumor list that might sign Melo even for low chances.
So this we can say that Melo's career in the NBA is over?

There is still a chance, however, looking at the current situation for him, it's really not looking good.

If ever no one signs him this season, although I still believed some team will open their doors for him, he can make a come back the next season.

Every team knows he can still play. But as I mentioned, there's another reason why things turned out like this for him.

Do you guys think theres something wrong with Melos gameplay? I mean he can still play and make an impact offensively in the 2nd squad. He could still be a 15ppg. What I have in mind why Melo struggles to sign a contract to any team, is his attitude (Im not sure about it though), his "superstar" attitude.

I dont think it's his attitude that is stopping people from signing him.  Melo is not a scheme player, he is an isolationist player.  When in his prime it was fine but to be an older isolationist player doesnt work well at high levels of competition.  I like melo hopefully he gets a shot on a team he deserves it

True, yeah I didnt noticed that at first, maybe because I wasnt a fan? Lol. He could still create a space to score a jumper coz thats where he excels the most.
I brought the attitude issue because, as I remembered there was an issue about him not wanting to be in the 2nd squad, instead he wants to be in the starting line up consistently.
