If that's Giannis' requirement to sign long-term and he won't be happy if we give that money to a better player, we can deal him too and start over. This may be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read on these boards. Thanks for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Harden had a superb season but Giannis dominated on offense and defense. You could tell how much it meant to him when he got emotional during his acceptance speech. And the media doesn't hate Harden. He won the darn thing last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidersAreOne Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 It's one thing for Ujiri to not win Exec of the year, but to finish 4th!? That's wild man. Fires the COY, traded his star player for another one who was injured and rumored to sit out, made another big deal at the trade deadline, etc. That takes major balls and quite frankly was snubbed hard of Exec of the year.

It’s voted on before the playoffs, after his team went from the 1 seed in 2018 to the 2 seed in 2019 despite the conference losing Lebron. You just don’t win exec of the year if you win fewer game(s) than the previous season. If voting took place after the finals, he obviously would’ve won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Back to Middleton.... Let's say that the he is allowed to leave. What else is there in free agency that fits the club as well as Khris? Looking for a pure shooter, with length, that will defend and take coaching. Ability to play 1:1 when Giannis sits is also imperative. To me, Khris is frustrating, but he's the best pure shooter on that team. I dig Brogdon, but that shot isn't pure. I don't want him at or near the max, but I don't know enough about the other free agents to understand who else could fill that role. I don't think it is Mirotic. Just not quick enough. Leonard isn't coming here. Neither is KD. Or Klay. So who is is there that is a good fit for this club? What are a few fallback options?

titans0021 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Giving Khris $190 million and committing to him as the second best player Giannis will play with in Milwaukee is just so sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just resigned myself to it given that we’ve been attached to no one in FA other than Taj Gibson. Going five years would be insane and so unneeded though. I just don’t think he actually has any sort of outside market for the 4 year max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I mean, I get it. If Kawhi heads to LA, we turn into massive favorites in the East. Just underwhelming and a huge sum to pay for a limited player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 I don't give two ****s about next year. That contract will cloud everything. Short-sighted moves are beyond dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short-sighted moves are beyond dumb. The message from the owners better be that they’re willing to spend whatever it takes. Because if maxing Middleton means that there’s a tax line they won’t cross to retain Brook and Brogdon, I’m going to lose all faith. Because handcuffing us for years with Middleton means you essentially have to run it back entirely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
