In things that make me chuckle, the Lakers trade the farm for Westbrook. They cheap out on Caruso who wanted to stay and even would have taken less than he got from the Bulls....Wizards off to their best start in 50 years. Caruso is a key part of a resurgent Bulls team...and the Lakers hover around .500
The Lakers schedule has been pretty weak, too. Watching the Lakers those old guys get tired legs playing for so long. I bet they put up plenty of poor 4th quarters, especially later in the season.

Curry had 37 tonight and it's the 37th time he's had 9 triples in a game.
Now that he’s won a championship, I think the reaction would be much different if he left. I think it would have been much worse if he left summer of 2020 than now.He strikes me as the type of guy who doesn’t want to say he will stay in Milwaukee forever and then have to walk back that statement. I respect that. I also am not too worried about the comment because it seems like he really enjoys Milwaukee and it fits in well with his lifestyle. We will see how it goes. Now that the Bucks won, it’s much easier for me if he leaves. I do hope he stays for a long time though.
The kid’s got a chance to be a decent player someday.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
You know that quote isn't from Giannis right? It's a quote from his agent guessing at what Giannis' mindset might be if the Bucks were to repeat this year. The tweet purposely short quoted it
I know this is tongue in cheek, but I think he is one of the more under appreciated players. He's a different type of player (and for non-basketball fans less exciting), but he's the closest I think we've had to a much watch since Jordan. Where often in games he'll have everyone, including himself saying "how'd he just do that." Dunks are cooler and more exciting, but watching a guy just turn and nail a floater from 36 feet is just insane. If not for a rash of injuries in or near the finals, he'd have 2 more rings too.
Staples Center to be renamed Crypto.com Arena, starting on Xmas.Here's hoping this 20-year agreement plays out longer than Enron Field, CMGI Field and PSINet Stadium were able to.
If he leaves, I would be sad. But he's the best player in franchise history who brought a championship to a team I never thought would see another. But it's his right to do so.And it's still 3+ years away.
What makes you believe that?https://www.fox6now.com/sports/bucks-giannis-antetokounmpo-on-future-in-milwaukee-the-next-challenge-might-not-be-here> "One challenge was to bring a championship here, and we did," Antetokounmpo said. "It was very hard, but we did. Very, very hard. I just love challenges. What’s the next challenge? The next challenge might not be here."> Antetokounmpo added: "Me and my family chose to stay in this city that we all love and has taken care of us — for now. In two years, that might change. I’m being totally honest with you. I’m always honest. I love this city. I love this community. I want to help as much as possible."
Did this mean he was thinking about…leaving? I asked his agent.“I don’t think it’s, ‘I’m thinking about leaving the Bucks,’ ” Saratsis told me. “But I think he’s genuinely like: ‘Okay, I have reached the pinnacle. The next challenge is, let’s repeat.’ But what happens if you do repeat? What’s the next challenge? What is that next barrier? When you think about it from a basketball perspective, by the age of 26, this kid has accomplished everything,” Saratsis said. “So sometimes you’re going to have to manufacture what those challenges are."
His exit will coincide with Middleton's. Right now Khris has a 23-24 player option and is a UFA in 24-25.And honestly... while I adore him, I don't know what Giannis at 30+ is gonna look like. A lot of miles on him by then, for a guy whose game is predicated on elite athleticism. It might be the most logical time to start fresh. Hopefully after another ring.
