Bucks are thinking long term. If making Middleton happy convinces Giannis into signing the supermax deal next year, then that's what you do.

Investing $35 Million into a dude worth $20 Million to appease your superstar is exactly how you screw yourself down the line. This Giannis excuse is straight up garbage. He's not going hinge whether to bolt or not on Khris friggin' Middleton. If we stagnate because we invested so much into Middleton, there's significant risk of Giannis bolting regardless.

I don't think you understand the personality of Giannis. The guy is loyal to a fault. He was loyal to the worst coach in the NBA. The easiest way for Giannis to bolt was for us to let Middleton go and then not advance as far in the postseason. He didn't want to recruit another star he, he's been extremely vocal that he wanted exactly what we have him, as much of the hang back together as we could feasibly get.

And when we stagnate and he leaves, we'll learn the crucial lesson of not hanging your entire franchise on what one player wants, especially when it's as absurd as the Middleton contract. Worst contract in professional sports. Edited July 1, 2019 by beekay414 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst contract in professional sports. Well then we were damned if we did or didn't. If Giannis bolts after all this it will be jersey burning in the streets worthy. Not that I would ever do something so stupid but needless to say he'd be no different than Kareem and would take years for him to be welcomed back. I don't see it happening. The East isn't that good next year and we'll see how Durant and Kyrie do together in 2020-21 but there isn't a reason we'd be stagnant. We're a decent 2 guard away from being in a similar spot as last year and if Giannis has a jumper it really doesn't matter what we did.

There was literally no reason to offer Middleton that much money. He should've gotten what Bojan Bogdanovic got. They are crazy similar players. Yet, we basically maxed one because he's buddies with our superstar and the Jazz stole Bojan at that price. Middleton's max contract offer should've been 5 years/$100 million. We literally competed against ourselves to sign one of our own players...again. If he got a max offer elsewhere...welp, enjoy that Dallas weather. I don't care how good the players is...you never let one player dictate how you run your operation. Period. There's massive risk either way when you're a market our size. I'm not paying twice what he's worth just because his buddy wants us to. Worst. Contract. In. Sports.

titans0021 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The strategy seems to be to make the locker room as fun as possible to keep Giannis around. Brogdon was such a bummer with all his well and social injustice talk, get another Lopez in here to lighten the mood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Of all friggin' people to use the room exception on, it's a center that doesn't fit whatsoever. He should've been a vet min addition. Jesus friggin' Christ. Give back that EOY award, Horst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explain to me how Lopez fits. Do tell. Tell me how using the only legitimate avenue we have of adding someone worth a damn is well spent on a big that doesn't fit what we do? C'mon.
