The Milwaukee Bucks were the biggest dissapointment of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, and now they might have a Giannis problem.

The more I think about it the more I think that this will help the nuggets. Every other team in the league needs to make big moves to contend. The nuggets are set. This crew could win multiple rings
I think we're just gonna start seeing smarter contracts. I ain't messing with nobodies money and want everybody to get theirs but if you have a system in place where guys like Harden are making Jokic, Giannis or Steph money you got a problem.
On top of that you got Poole type of contracts that will become a thing of the past.
Instead of helping out small markets for being good development organizations with "No extra Tax" on them paying their own guys that they drafted. They get shafted, this is why the NBA is a joke league now. The players run the league not the commissioner. The top players just want more Super Max, they don't even care if bottom tier dudes suffer. It's a joke. I know a lot of people hated the Warriors for paying their own drafted players which never made sense cause San Antonio never got that hate. Everyone who didn't start watching Basketball until 2014 remembers the Warriors were a bottom feeding team. you're guaranteeing organizations like Lakers who have never developed their own draft(Kobe was a trade from Charlotte), just buy dudes. The Heat mostly buy dudes, Boston used to, The Nets…all those teams will pick off the little guy again. The NBA will become an 8 team race again.
Imagine Giannis on the lakers just kidding lool
I cannot fathom why the players ever agrees to such CBA. This entirely hampers winning and forces more one man acts . I get wanting your money but the nba feels like it's heading into farce territory restricting teams from paying the players they draft. wtf. I'm not talking KD to warriors moves. I'm talking about teams that scout, draft, and team build well. When time comes to pay your homegrown talent, you're forced to let them go. Makes no sense
I hate this idea that star players can't have a bad season. Tim Duncan played for the Spurs between 07-14 and didn't win anything. He didn't even get that close most years, but he didn't immediately bail on the team just because they needed a year or two or five to get guys to get better. He expected himself to help the team win, not look to be bailed out by joining another star. I hope Giannis is the same type and he's communicated to the Bucks he is staying for life because that's how you become truly great
The problem is they won't be able to trade the Greek Freak to a good team because they can't match his salary so it will only be possible to move him to a team with a large amount under the cap and that most likely means no stars or a star and no depth and very little left after he is acquired. But who?
This CBA is some weird hater shit. It's basically trying to guarantee that no team can be a contender for more than a 3-year span (given that most contenders have 2-3 all star level players who will need to be paid). This Golden State run might be the last extended dynasty we see. I saw someone else make the point that this screws all the high level role player guys and will mean they never get a chip or have to take veteran minimums.
I mean if Giannis got disgruntled with Milwaukee…the problem is other teams would also be suffering from the new rules. It seems like this would lead to players moving around even more. Go to a team that has younger players who are borderline Allstars on rookie scale contracts and when it's time for everyone to be paid thus concessions have to be made…the star player will just leave and do the process all over again
The cba is so stupid watch teams like the grizzlies, kings, and thunder get screwed in the future
You know why the CBA is always so unfavorable for the players? Because the NBAPA has players as their presidents. NBA players are 🤡
What's with that " however", his favorite word?
The problem is that the Bucks won the championship on a season when all the top 4 teams were injured beyond what is normal as that offseason was just two months long, and the top two players of the top two teams of the east had covid long haul symptoms, jimmy and tatum, and overall their rosters were unusually depleted. The other 3 seasons of the last 4 years, it's been the heat and celtics in the east finals. The bucks and hawks just got lucky that year with health. The bucks will continue to come short against the heat and celtics again and again unless they get lucky with major injuries. Giannis knows that at this point, he won't be competing and just living off that asterisk ring.
idk how i feel about the new cba its good that stacked teams cant just spend more and more to get better players. But built teams shouldn't have to break up winning teams because its impossible to pay them all.
The new CBA thing is going to make things difficult for all of the teams. It'll prevent everyone from giving big contracts to supporting cast players so these guys won't exactly be harder to retain, it'll just make their contracts go down
A title in New York with Jalen Brunson would mean more.. Let's not get it twisted
I get parity and i think parity is great for the league but teams that draft well or have great talent development getting penalized seems awful.
God bless the new CBA😂😅
My immediate reaction to the first 10 seconds of this video was……STEPHEN CURRY
We need to get rid of Middleton, bros not the same after his injury and sold in the playoffs
The first thing they need to do is abolish the super max. It has done more harm than good to the team offering it. Your original team being able to offer you an additional year and be able to sign you months in advance must be good enough. The super max wrecks your cap situation.
Milwaukee needs to get younger to compete longer. Giannis is young but the guys around him could be leaving their prime pretty soon which would close his window sooner than it should
NBA every 5 years puts a different rule trying to stop super teams and it keeps failing lol
Once his contract is up, he should move on. Bucks have bad ownership
Middleton needs to be gone…sad to say but that will be a bad contract to whomever gives him market value…that would be a good start for the bucks…
Spurs should be targeting Lopez to pair with Wemby
Great breakdown. Strange how the new rules starts asap. Teams been building their team base on current rules. NBA should have implemented these new rules in 2-3 years down the road so teams have time to adjust their plans. Mostly with the mid level exceptions. A lot of team gave out contracts/trades thinking they can at least get a player or two in to help with that and now its just gone.
Boston’s contract situation is worse than Milwaukee. Two supermax players with high salary guys around them will kill their depth
sounds like Portland with dame will be in the same category soon
keep lopez and let Middleton walk
?
The Warriors built themselves into a big market team & now no one will ever be able to do that again, it might lead to more parity but it means we’ll never c someone like this Nuggets team become the next Boston LA or GS & it’s not like this knocks them off their position as big market teams, it just stifles anyone else from doing it themselves
Giannis ain’t leaving tho. Y’all can keep trying to speak it into existence. They’ll always prioritize Giannis
This guy every chance he gets comes out with this b s to try and sell Giannis leaving which is complete false Giannis been aware of the new cba rules he's the guy who's picking his coaches and teammates Giannis wants to win his way with his team in Milwaukee he already know what players getting moved and who he wants on the side of him
