Greggulator Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 The Bucks went huge on an all-in deal hoping Giannis signs. I saw on Twitter from a reputable reporter (can't see who) that the word is he's going to sign a five-year max deal. If making a big deal like this gets Giannis to sign for the max, then you absolutely give up three picks that will be in the 20s and two swaps to get a really good player in Holiday. Holiday/GIannis/MIddleton is a really sick defensive core. Also: Woj has a podcast about how Giannis ended up getting drafted. It's a really fun listen. Giannis comes off like a legitimately humble and sweet guy who still can't believe the course his life has taken and appreciates every second of it. 1
Brian Fowler Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 It's way too many picks for Jrue Holiday (who I really like) But it's not too many to give up for Jrue Holiday+ Giannis signing a supermax.
Infinit Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 I hate this deal for the Raptors but that's a pretty great move for the Bucks.

Lawful Metal Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Harden calling cap on all this. Westbrook to Hornets? Maybe we get #3 pick?
Zimbra Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Oh boy, I just realized that those '25 and '27 picks the Bucks sent out are totally unprotected. Nobody in the NBA ever learns anything for longer than, like, six months. Hahahaha fuck
Brian Fowler Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 So there's a report that the reason Russ and Harden both want out is because of Fertitta's support of Trump. In which case... Hahahaha. 34 minutes ago, Zimbra said: Oh boy, I just realized that those '25 and '27 picks the Bucks sent out are totally unprotected.

That would be the year after the supermax expires.) 1
Zimbra Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Oh yeah, I'm all for them taking their shot while they can and going all in on this run. But, like, it's Jrue Holiday and you couldn't get a top-2 protection on that pick?
Dolfan in NYC Posted November 17, 2020 Author Posted November 17, 2020 Boston offered New Orleans Gordon Hayward and three 1's for Jrue. New Orleans declined. Gordon apparently feels "betrayed" (lol!) and has a $34.2M player option that had a deadline of 5pm today, but that's been pushed back to Thursday. The expectation is that he's going to be traded between now and then. 1
RIPPA Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 I would love to be in a position in my life where I could turn down $34.2 million 3

RIPPA Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 I can't imagine why the Rockets would want more than just busted ass John Wall 1 2
Brian Fowler Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 That might be, on paper, the two worst contracts in the NBA right now. So I declare it a perfect trade. 1

(Honestly, I love Blake's game, I think he was fantastic in 2018-19, wish him nothing but the best. But if I was running the Pistons, I'd trade him for a sack of flour.)
