looking forward to the trade demand next year

It's not like the Bucks had any choice in this. The supermax is like the neutron bomb of contracts. It leaves the star player intact and kills the rest of the team.

man he better hope the whole mortgaging the team's future for jrue holiday thing works out
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 15 December 2020 19:01 (three years ago) link
they've mortgaged their future for much worse
I remember one offseason where they kneecapped themselves to sign Charlie Spaghetti. that wasn't his name but I'm not gonna look it up
― frogbs, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 19:09 (three years ago) link
it seems like his decision was based on factors that transcend the make up of the roster, which always seemed to be the case, but which also makes their desperate, frenetic offseason even more bizarre
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 15 December 2020 19:12 (three years ago) link
really good news for the league. hope he doenst demand a trade during that contract. now we just need harden to go east.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 21:22 (three years ago) link
the opt out of after the 4th year is basically being like, i'm giving you guys three years before we go thru this again

the knicks are gonna have to find a new pipe dream

Good for the game to have such a huge star stay with his team, and also good for the league not to have 15-20 teams basing their whole financial strategy around creating space for him on the slim chance they're gonna get him
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 21:45 (three years ago) link
also good to not have it be a story this whole season

the clippers are badly overpaying PG and partly as a result of this seem destined to pay enormous sums of luxury tax, but you're correct that Giannis is easily more valuable than PG
― Respectfully Yours, (Aimless), Tuesday, 15 December 2020 22:11 (three years ago) link
this is far and away the best outcome for literally everyone who cares about the nba in every possible way except, like, Knicks lost-causers and pat riley; god bless giannis
― Clay, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 22:44 (three years ago) link
Like it’s great that some teams only have to pay a guy 30m a year because it’s the first extension, but 45 mil for a reigning 2 time mvp is a bargain
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 22:51 (three years ago) link
congrats MKE!I feel like even if you don't win a championship you have to just enjoy it, like in MN we were so disappointed when KG left and obviously it never quite worked out and it felt like a failure at the time but boy do I miss it, just someone who was always worth watching, someone who made it fun

absolutely
before Giannis I feel like Milwaukee was the worst type of team to follow, they usually weren't terrible but they were never good enough to win a playoff series and always seemed to give contracts to the wrong guys, like every single year it was "holy shit we're still paying THAT guy?" when they did get lucky enough to snag the #1 pick they used it on Andrew Bogut. for years we were waiting for the guy that was going to elevate us. thought it might be Brandon Jennings, hell when he put up 55 it felt like the first time anybody talked about the Bucks since Ray Allen, little did we know that was gonna be the peak of his career. thought maybe it would be Jabari but injuries + terrible defense got him off the team in the hurry. obviously we all kinda knew Giannis would be special from the first games he played but man...nobody expected this
― frogbs, Wednesday, 16 December 2020 00:26 (three years ago) link
btw I don't want to imply that it was just bad luck, they had a legitimately terrible front office who made moves that even I knew made no sense. they'd do this thing where they would find one player they liked and then try to get as many copies of that guy as they could. when Jennings was starting to look like a breakout star they signed Monta Ellis, both of whom just endlessly chucked us out of ballgames, then they got J.J. Redick on top of that, losing Tobias Harris in the process (who's been a solid starter ever since). when John Salmons gave us a spark they wound up signing him plus 3 other 30+-year old forwards that offseason (all of whom got pretty generous deals if I remember correctly). that team was such a goddamn mess. they also loved to have multiple big white guys who couldn't run or shoot. it was like they were trying to grab that "most consecutive 1st round exits" record they so obviously deserved.

I am 9 mins into the first preseason game and I am already tired of seeing Embiid shooting from outside.
But ILH.
