I don't agree with Nick all the time but a lot of the time and even when I don't agree I consider what he's saying.
Agreed, chip with warriors
Typical modern day players. Cant beat the, join them.
Giannis needs to pair up with Luka
This may sound crazy but I think Giannis should consider OKC as his next destination. OKC have assets, great org and the team is young. NYK is also a great option, but they don't have the assets to trade for Giannis, so they have to wait until he becomes a FA, what if he never becomes a FA?
The Hawks will have space. And Giannis has a history with us. We were going to draft him before the Bucks snapped him up. Trae, Dejounte, and Giannis. Crazy combo.
"I might be annoying but I'm not wrong." Lol. Gonna try that quote later on the wife. I'll keep yall posted
LeBron James is to be credited for this intelligent way of thinking, don't allow a franchise to remain stagnant while you waste your prime in a terrible situation.
Giannis welcome to the bay we all remember when u Tweeted I’m goin to the warriors steph deserve a Allstar big for the first time in his career
Nick had to just get one slob off on lebron at the end there by trying to downplay steph..this man is addicted to bron meat
Bring Giannis to Durants team or Kawhis
Giannis wants greatness
giannis and jokic dont think the same way as guys like KD and lebron, im sure giannis wouldnt resign with the bucks if they dont "put in the effort" like he demanded in the article but he would never form a superteam to win titles like KD or lebron did.
Giannis to NYC would be awesome
Come to LA Giannis
Welcome to Detroit Giannis 👀🤙🏻
Hot take: steph plays at a higher level and longer than Lebron. And I’m the biggest Lebron fan in the world. Wildes is right don’t sleep on a giannis steph combo in GS in a few years.
Giannis and Luca = rings
As someone who was born and still lives in Wisconsin ,Giannis and The Bucks have been a blessing for NBA fans like me. Ray Allen was the last time The Bucks had any kind of shot of making (not winning) a Finals and we just felt like a farm team for 20 years where we kept trading away our best player for draft picks and to be good enough to make the post season here and there and stop from getting #1 picks . Then Giannis comes and yeah , I really wasn't sure if I would ever see The Bucks win a Finals. Also , The Bucks have "gone all-in" , some of the moves were bad but still they traded away some future years for sure for the now and the last thing I would want is Giannis carrying the team to through the post season with no real chance of winning a finals .
Come to OKC
Miami is not being aggressive for Dame because they strongly believe they can get Giannis.. They already have an inside connection through Giannis family, he is also tight with Bam and Jimmy.. They have been recruiting him hard . If he leaves it will be Miami and it will be via trade .. next Offseason. He has already told people in the organization that if he leaves he will give them heads up for they can get something in a trade. Think I’m capping 🧢 if you want but I have inside info Fam . You can book it he’s gone .. Miami is first choice, second Lakers , Golden State is a distant 3rd ..
Imagine Giannis bringing a championship to the New York Knicks.
Nah if he goes to Miami it’ll be perfect GG
If he does leave, I actually think the Knicks are a viable option. Brunson is a legit star who is only 26. He also played well off of Luka, who demands the ball similarly to Giannis. They have 2 borderline all stars in Randle and RJ, along with complimentary players like Hart, Divincenzo, and Grimes. Thibodeau is a respected coach. They just won a playoff series and got 2 games vs Heat, who made the finals. Also, although Giannis doesn't seem all about the $, it'd be naive to think it wouldn't play a part. Off-court $ is unparalleled being a superstar in NY. They're in a way different position than years past when prime FAs became available
COME TO THE WARRIORS!!!! AND WATCH NICK "ALWAYS WRONG NOT" WRIGHT CRY!!!!!! LOL
Be better not follow the dame route all I'm saying the league isn't built for super loyal players anymore
