At the end of the day, with Lebronās career ending within the next year or two, Giannis leaving Milwaukee has become the dominant talking point of the NBA. Even if Giannis came out and said he NEVER wanted to leave Milwaukee, reports would come out that he will change his mind. If the Bucks somehow won the NBA title, the next talking point would be āheās done enough in Milwaukee, time to move onāā¦ I donāt think Iāve ever seen anything like it.

bridges is as valuable as Bane that just got a similar trade to the Magic. and i was even say heās as valuable as Gobert who got traded for more. value is situational to whatever is going on in the league at that moment. He could easily be flipped for just about the same amount to a team like the 6ers, or Heat, bucks (if they had it), and even a team like Dallas. It depends what a team feels Bridges would bring to the team from both an offensive and defensive standpoint.
Without Bridges last year, the Knicks mightāve not been a team that Giannis even looked at or considered as a possible next landing stop.

I dont want Giannis to leave, i see him being like Tim or Dirk staying in one team whole of his career.

If your character is a brand its not congruent with the kicks as a brand. Knicks is like big baller brand and you like Adidas. A partnership doesnāt work for you as Adidas

Your brand as an individual says Celtics or Spurs given Pop. You are more Tim Duncan than Kobe in personality from a distance.

So we just gone by pass the fact that now Dame gone Giannis wants to stay lol š I remember last year it was a press conference after the game and Gianniās was saying it was Dame team . I always thought that was weird and haterish on his part!

Even if Giannis gets traded away he said all the right things to quiet down the scrutiny

Realistically the only trade package that would actually make sense from the bucks perspective would be a spurs or a Thunder package, if they do decide to go all in on Giannis. Both teams have the young players and the draft capital to make it work. The spurs would be a better legacy move for Giannis since the Thunder have already won one. Itād be pretty cool to see Wemby and Giannis play together. The defense would literally be insane. This is pretty much Tim Duncan+David Robinson on steroidsššš
