I don't think Giannis would be happy joining LeBron. In my opinion, he doesn't seem to fit with the team anymore, and I doubt they can accommodate Giannis considering LeBron and Davis already receive hefty salaries. Additionally, having three big men in the starting lineup doesn't appear favorable; it seems a bit odd in my opinion

Perhaps if a player who wants to be traded doesn't vocalize their preferred team, fans would not speculate as much. This would be better for the NBA, as fans might become disappointed and potentially withdraw their support from the team due to such speculation.

If I'm not mistaken, all this speculation regarding Giannis' potential leaving the Bucks came about after he said: "Winning a championship comes first. I don't want to be 20 years on the same team and don't win another championship." If so, we shouldn't expect him to leave the Bucks in a hurry in the next couple of seasons.
However, I wouldn't rule out that the Lakers could be his next team if he decides not to extend his contract with the Bucks. LeBron will probably be retired by then, and Davis' contract will also expire.

I would guess that the only way Giannis could go to Warriors would be as a free agent, considering he has just one year left on his contract and by the looks of it Bucks are not getting any better, so he could leave for free and that means we are going to end up seeing Giannis as a free agent.

Most probably yeah! Giannis already expressed that he wants to be on a team that could give him additional rings and he will not be staying with the Bucks if he couldn't win one anymore. So, the Warriors will be a perfect spot for him in his free agency. NBA fans are actually looking forward to this and the Bucks not gonna be the same anymore if Giannis leave, well not unless if they can make a significant improvement with the team next season.

Giannis Antetokounmpo landing in the free agency is what the other teams wanted, not just the Warriors alone because it's a common knowledge that almost all of the team right now in the league wanted to get him and that specific part right there is what they are waiting because they can grab and offer Giannis with the money he wanted without trading something important out of the team.

So, if the Bucks cannot do anything about that, then it will be their loss because their image will become somebody else's after that.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is popular in NBA game after he leaded the Bucks to Championship finals wining and around the globe. He's popularly known as the Greek Freak in the game. Milwaukee Bucks should do everything within their reach to retained the top-notch player in the club, because it would be hugh loss if he moves out. Giannis only wants titles and winning rings would be the appropriate credits he deserved, furthermore the team should signed more important players that will aides in enhancing and strengthening the club interms of performance on the court.

Of course, the Bucks management will have to do everything in their power to retain the services of the Bucks. Giannis becoming the face of the franchise and even winning a NBA ring for them after a long drought.

But if he chooses to go and take another route, then they can't do anything about the Greek Freak. That's why this season is a must for the Bucks to at least go to the finals because this could be the last year of Giannis if I'm not mistaken, so whether he extends or signs a new contract? We will have to see then.

What more can they do? Despite awarding him a max contract, Giannis still remains unwilling to extend his tenure with the team. In my opinion, it's not solely about the money for Giannis at this point; rather, it's the opportunity to secure another championship. He aims to solidify his legacy in the NBA while he's still young. I believe that the offerings the Bucks can provide Giannis can also be matched by other teams he might consider joining. Given that Giannis is currently in his prime and virtually unstoppable, his desired benefits are attainable elsewhere.

While not the most vocal player, Giannis has now expressed his inclination to part ways with the Bucks for the first time. This suggests that his statement holds genuine weight.

We can already say that by how he responded to the interviewers way back last playoffs when they have been defeated against the Miami Heat, Giannis said some statement about the steps towards success and it's been clear that he was upset in the results because they are one of the early favorites to win the Finals but an unexpected happen which also became a reason for their loss. Anyway, bottom-line is, Giannis is not seeking the money right now because he know that it will always follow wherever he go because of his utility to the team, what he wanted is to be in a team who have the same aim as him.

Giannis would be a great loss to them if they let this guy go away from bucks since aside from the numbers he can provide for sure this is a huge loss for their revenue knowing that Giannis is so popular. If other team will create much appealing offer than them for sure he they might lose him especially now Warriors and Lakers and lakers showing some interest to have them on their roster. Bucks is strong team so maybe they should make their second unit more stronger to win a championship next season.

The Bucks cannot retain Giannis if he does not re-sign with the team. He will become an unrestricted free agent after the next season. Therefore, he has the choice to sign with other teams. It's notable that he has maintained a good relationship with the team by not demanding a trade; instead, he expressed his interest in leaving. This approach shows his fairness as a player, and it benefits the Bucks as well, allowing them time to prepare.

Against a team with deadly offensive guards, GSW will be forced to bench CP3. Actually, it is okay to bench him since he is already 38 and will be 40 by the end of his contract. The issue though is that CP3 will be paid $30 million per year which is too high for someone to play 20sh minutes per game, especially during the playoffs if they can qualify.

Anyway, it remains to be seen if this GSW experiment will work. I still value young Poole over CP3 but I understand that GSW needs to let go of him since they prefer Draymond.

Yes, no doubt that Jordan Poole has a good contribution to them when they have a championship run. Nevertheless, last season was very different as Draymond and Poole has a scuffle prior to the season and it set the tone for the Warriors and then they completely collapse after the first round. I thought that the issues has been solved already.

But it seems that it was still very evident as we have seen Poole complaining every time he didn't got the ball and then he was bench by Kerr. As for CP3, maybe a good 10 minutes or even 15 minutes might be good for him as a Warrior as he is no longer at his prime and could also be prone to injury.

I would guess that keeping Draymond is a proof that there is going to be hard time for them going forward. Why is that? Well Poole was the one that got punched, but they still sent him away and did not back him up and just wanted to protect Draymond in that situation.

I can understand the loyalty because he is the guy they won 4 rings with and he is the master at the passing for klay and curry and memorized all the plays and does all the dirty things that others can't do to keep them clean etc etc. But that doesn't mean that other players will not see this and go "well I could be punched there and kicked off" and just not want to go there. I would guess this was a tough decision, they made the wrong one emotionally, but probably the right one by the team.

Nothing's personal here; it wasn't the punching incident that led the Warriors to decide on trading Poole. Instead, it was his performance in the playoffs, which I believe was subpar or uncharacteristic of him. I assume the issue between them was already resolved since they played together during the regular season. However, Poole's inconsistency might have played a role, which no team would want from a player they invested a lot of money in.

Yes, that is indeed the reason why Jordan Poole was traded and not anyone else in the roster or Draymond Green. The punching incident was already buried and was not one of the factors why that specific trade took place. If only Poole showed consistency while everyone else in the team is giving their best, he could've remained as the Warriors and wear their jerseys again but since he wasn't, he can only blame himself because after having a good run, he then became a liability to the team.

Warriors will not trade Poole if he's consistent on his performance but he didn't achieve what their management expect so that one provably the main reason why Poole got traded. Thay punching incident is just additional factor since if that happen and Poole is contributing like a star player to Warriors for sure they will not let this guy go anywhere. I guess this is good trade done by then as they eliminate the huge salary of Poole and can give it to Green and to other more useful players on their team.

I disagree. That punching incident wasn't included on the factor on why the Warriors decided to trade Poole, it was his performance in the playoffs which made the Warriors did what they did and in-fact, Poole had it coming to himself because he was not on his usual self during that time. And if Draymond Green was also inconsistent, I won't be surprised either if both of them will not wear the same uniform they had next season but it was just Poole.

Anyways, it's just coming from rumors but it will remain speculations because the NBA and the Warriors will never allow the public to know something that isn't good for public consumption. They're even very disappointed as to why the video of the punching incident circulated online since they want it to remain private.

It is what it is. Poole actually played decent in the regular season and then something went wrong during the playoffs. If I were the management I wouldn't trade a young potential due to a single bad playoffs performance especially over a past prime yet more expensive player. Unless something is happening behind the public. Just my 2 cents. I doubt GSW will do better this coming season which means at least reaching a conference finals.

What's up with Seth Curry? Is he going to transfer to the Warriors as well? Currently, he is playing with the Brooklyn Nets, averaging 9.2 points per game. However, his 3-point shooting is a significant threat. Are we going to see Curry playing alongside his brother and Giannis teaming up with his brother on one team?

I might be wrong about this or @Ziskinberg might be wrong or my understanding of things is not that great, because Seth Curry was on the Dallas Mavericks right now or maybe Seth Curry will be in another trade scenario, Let's just wait and well I am curious about this aswel Seth Curry wants to compete with his brother so he will not want to be on the Golden State Warriors for sure but if Seth Curry will be on a team whether it is the Dallas Mavericks or the Milwaukee Bucks I think that will be a great team play for sure,

Honestly, I feel a bit sorry for Seth Curry, as he has always been in his brother's shadow. In his entire NBA career, he has changed 8 teams, and it seems he can't find the team that can bring him to his full potential. By the way, if you check his stats, you may notice that his prime was in the 21/22 season when he averaged 15 points per game. Unfortunately, his playing time was significantly reduced after the trade to the Nets, and he started to perform worse.

Seth Curry has a unique way of playing just like Klay Thompon that is a Forward and great at shooting while Seth Curry has the same shooting and moving performance of Curry was outstanding so for sure this kind of aspect of him can surely be used by the team for sure they will have a Mini Stephen Curry

Quote from: wiss19 on August 29, 2023, 03:21:53 PM

Warriors can't get Giannis, but one thing that is "just a bit" possible is to get Giannis to play with Doncic. That is going to be tough, and the playbook has to be quite solid because Doncic could be a shooter but he is not a lights out shooter, and he likes to drive inside, with Giannis liking the ball so much, Doncic liking the ball so much and potentially if they still have Irving then him liking the ball so much, you will have a team that is consisting of stars that want the ball in their hands.

Warriors would have been a better fit, but unfortunately that is not going to happen and that is why I think it should be important to remember that Giannis has to go to a team that is filled with shooters, even if not Warriors.

For sure that is why there are some Seth and Giannis would likely be playing with each other aswell because Seth Curry was with the Dallas Mavericks right now and it is a literal player that has changed team every season or even with mid-season transfer for sure Seth Curry will be available,

It is what every NBA player wants. To have more titles and MVPs and winning rings. Nobody in the NBA wants to just sit there and do nothing unless there's no hope and he's just a bench player. But then, even bench players also want to have their titles as they've got also a contribution to their team.

Long way to go and for sure, there might be a change of decision depending on where the Milwaukee Bucks will end up next season. If able to compete again for the Finals and let's say Milwaukee Bucks is able to get into the championship list, an extension is sure guarantee to happen for Giannis.

Giannis will enter free agency after the 2024-25 season and along the way, there will be lots of happenings that can change his mind.

Too early to discuss his future with the Bucks but the fact that he opened up something about being departed from the team, the Bucks have to do something.

That would only mean one thing, they'll not get a ring this year and for sure Giannis will leave. The thing is, he is the one that decides it and it's on the management if they'll pick the right guys around him or not and that's the crucial thing they should do. I wouldn't imagine another franchise face for the Bucks but it is what it is.

That's pretty disappointing if Giannis packs his bags and join a superstar in another team. I mean he's already accomplished something only a few could achieve and doesn't seem to have a serious falling out with teammates or management. Yes he's demanding something to make the team more competitive before he extends contract but I think that's normal for any player with ambition.

His presence in the Bucks keeps the East exciting and competitive with Celtics and also the Heat.

You're leaning towards the loyalty of a player thus, you see this one as disappointing, eh?

There are certain players who value loyalty over championship, and there are some who value championship over loyalty. Giannis falls on the 2nd one, and there's nothing wrong with it. The perfect example with this is Durant back when the Thunder are up 3-1, and then they still lost to the Warriors. The next season they joined Steph, and Klay to build that OP team. What's the reason? To get a title, and Giannis is almost the same. If he feels that he can't a 2nd title in Milwaukee then what's the reason for him to stay there? He values titles more than loyalty.

It's not about loyalty. I wasn't even thinking about that. My disappointment would come from the concentration of top talents in only a few teams. You mentioned Durant so let me use him as an example too. I think joining GSW and forming the "splash family" back then should never be replicated. Great job for getting the ring that he was chasing but that move eventually made the league quite predictable and boring.

Well, I also hate that move by the Warriors as well because that killed the competition big time, but on the other hand, the Warriors have the cap space in signing him, and at the same time Durant is a free agent at that time thus, it's a perfect recipe for an acquisition. I'll say again that I'm a Warrior fan at that time, but I hated teams killing the competition.

With regards to the concentration of top talents in only a few teams, I believe that many superstars right now value the championship over loyalty. Title will be forever in their NBA career, but loyalty? Some might forget them that they stayed in the same team for many years. The only popular superstars that I know who stayed in the same team for decades are Kobe Bryant, and Nowitzki. I feel your disappointment, but I can't blame those superstars if that's what they wanted. If they care more about the titles than the loyalty then so be it, and vice versa.

If Giannis does leave the Bucks whatever team he goes to will make him the highest paid player currently. Unless it really is all about championships he might take a team friendly deal that puts him on a team with a good shot at winning, but he will still get paid very well. He's not going to join a team for 20 million a year is all i'm saying. I cannot really see the Bucks letting him go for nothing as well, they will want to get some sort of compensation.

I don't think so too.
And if it's for a championship I think he will be paid more. He will not be like the James Harden type who will sacrifice his own salary for a championship or the better of a team, and besides that, he has one ring already. So being a champion will make him pricy and the experience of being there adds up.
But, I still cannot imagine Giannis being in a new uniform, it will either be an eyesore or a good one for him.

I hadn’t heard details about the Eric Lewis referee drama so I guess the NBA did a good job keeping it under wraps. However, it appears Eric Lewis has now “retired” after the NBA reviewed his social media accounts, so one can only imagine what it is he did. One thing is for sure though, his retirement wasn’t optional for him.

I was reading it just now.
Yeah, if someone retires, let what happens in Vegas stay in Vegas. Grin

This time the NBA.
I think he was an official on that lay-up by Lebron James where Tatum was supposed to be called for a foul but they missed it. And it went further after Beverley showed the replay on his camera calling a technical foul.

Yeah, graceful exit for him, although he has been investigated already and if they found him guilty, then we don't know what will be the disciplinary actions for him. But it seems for me though, he was either force to retired after 19 years, or retiring for a good exit with his name intact although it could also be a sign that he is guilty.

For those who are are not familiar, he is one referee that is very controversial, I mean his call specially against the Lakers. And then he was accused of having a burner account in Twitter to defend himself, or other referees for that matter.

Long way to go and for sure, there might be a change of decision depending on where the Milwaukee Bucks will end up next season. If able to compete again for the Finals and let's say Milwaukee Bucks is able to get into the championship list, an extension is sure guarantee to happen for Giannis.

Giannis will enter free agency after the 2024-25 season and along the way, there will be lots of happenings that can change his mind.

Too early to discuss his future with the Bucks but the fact that he opened up something about being departed from the team, the Bucks have to do something.

I would guess that the only way Giannis could go to Warriors would be as a free agent, considering he has just one year left on his contract and by the looks of it Bucks are not getting any better, so he could leave for free and that means we are going to end up seeing Giannis as a free agent.

Most probably yeah! Giannis already expressed that he wants to be on a team that could give him additional rings and he will not be staying with the Bucks if he couldn't win one anymore. So, the Warriors will be a perfect spot for him in his free agency. NBA fans are actually looking forward to this and the Bucks not gonna be the same anymore if Giannis leave, well not unless if they can make a significant improvement with the team next season.

I wonder how the Bucks are feeling with that thought from their star player who has been honed on their wing. But anyway, change is really going to happen no matter what and this is employment for Giannis and has that goal of having more rings on his career run. If he goes into free agent, and he really wants to get into the Warriors, then no one can stop that transfer of having a new home. Maybe it won't change for now but I think that there could still be some changes that we don't know could happen whether Giannis leaves or stays. We also have to wait until his contract ends with the Bucks.

I hadn’t heard details about the Eric Lewis referee drama so I guess the NBA did a good job keeping it under wraps. However, it appears Eric Lewis has now “retired” after the NBA reviewed his social media accounts, so one can only imagine what it is he did. One thing is for sure though, his retirement wasn’t optional for him.

This could result with him going to Warriors if he wants to, and Warriors could trade some players away to make some cap space but to be fair they do not have much. Not like Giannis will accept just bare minimum salary and just go there, vet min for him would be very tiny, he could keep on making a lot more than that. I think he is capable of getting even more than Jalen Brown at this point so it should be important for him to stay.

If Giannis does leave the Bucks whatever team he goes to will make him the highest paid player currently. Unless it really is all about championships he might take a team friendly deal that puts him on a team with a good shot at winning, but he will still get paid very well. He's not going to join a team for 20 million a year is all i'm saying. I cannot really see the Bucks letting him go for nothing as well, they will want to get some sort of compensation.

He can't be the highest paid player unless he stay with The Bucks though, since your current team is able to offer a significantly more amount of money that ant other team can. Otherwise he's simply capped out and will get the same max contract as any other top player signing a deal this coming year, or any other year for that matter. ( Unless things have changed salary cap wise)
