      Wow Ball Jnr with some amazing assists. I can't wait to see his stat lines throughout the season gonna be some mind blowing stats both good and bad. I think today was 0pts 4 assists 4 turnovers 10boards in 16 min (of a preseason which I know means nothing)

          Doesn't mean he is actually staying long term though, just means now they can actually look for trade destinations for him.

            Nah, they have him for 4 years, this ain't football. Or if he later on agitated for a trade they will at least be in a position to get something back, until his year 4 player option

              My point is that having him contracted makes him more valuable as a trade asset, as any team taking him knows that they get him for 4 years, not just the remaining 1 year on his old deal. He's no longer a flight risk, and that means you are willing to pay more to get him.

              Does he want to be traded? I honestly don't think so, he seems like he wants to stay from all his public noise. Be interesting to see what the Bucks do though if they fall flay in the playoffs again

                Isn't there a time frame before they can trade like half the contract or something. Either way in stoked great for the game he's not ending up at Miami or GS

                  I'm pretty sure it's two years, so this is a good result for the Bucks (sucks for my Mavs as I was hoping...)

                    It’s a massive contract, bigger than the record Harden one. I think it means that Bucks office have at least two years to get the pieces around him to make a decent run.

                      1yr waiting period per Lowe. Have a good crack this year, then if it doesn't pan out / if he is unhappy, there is a good length contract to trade

                        Seems like he genuinely likes living in Milwaukee, so they just have to make good moves and he might stay. Not everyone can win the title but he will want to be sure the organization is doing everything they can to get him there

                          They have a good front office at the Bucks so unless they screw it up, Giannis will be taken care of and get paid.

                          A small market team and he is the highest paid player in the NBA. That doesn’t happen by accident

                              @TeWaio thats pretty funny from Perk

                              Its pretty stupid the way they say they let him do what he wanted because "it didn't affect his play "

                              And yet he has faded in the playoffs year after year. How can there not be a clear link between looking after yourself during the regular season and staying energetic in the playoffs? You get paid $40m to prep your body all year round you lazy prick.

                                  My Xmas holiday starts today and I was all set up to clean the house and do some boring but useful shit (like cleaning) to avoid getting yelled at by the wife (who is still working remotely).

                                  That plan is now finished.

                                  I’m on the sofa with a piece of toast, and I just watched Durant drain his first three of the day.

                                  Many thanks.

                                      My Xmas holiday starts today and I was all set up to clean the house and do some boring but useful shit (like cleaning) to avoid getting yelled at by the wife (who is still working remotely).

                                      That plan is now finished.

                                      I’m on the sofa with a piece of toast, and I just watched Durant drain his first three of the day.

                                      Many thanks.
