Harden is mad.  Still demanding a trade.

Philly is Pfuked.  What could they get for him?

Taking the Dame and Jrue trades hard. Plus, now he still has to play with Herro.

Who dislikes Herro more, JFB or the Hauser clan?

The Bulls should trade LaVine for him. At least the Bulls would be an interesting .400 team. (I doubt Philly would take LaVine's contract)

If this becomes his NBA profile picture for the season like the extensions last year, it's objectively hilarious.  Shades of Clinton Portis

For the first time in history Stephen A. Smith was speechless. ;D

That was real? I saw pictures and thought it was the media picking on him whining about unfairness/tampering.

I really can't believe that was real.

Giannis at Bucks media day (from The Athletic):

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo addressed his contract situation Monday, reiterating that it does not make sense financially to sign an extension with the team this year, but added, "I want to be a Milwaukee Buck for the rest of my career as long as we are committed to winning."

Here's what you need to know:

"I don't remember where I said it, but I said it did not make sense to sign a contract right now because money isn't important, but a lot of f—— money is important, so I'm going to sign it next year," Antetokounmpo said during the Bucks' media day ahead of the upcoming season.

Antetokounmpo, 28, has two years remaining on the five-year, $228 million supermax extension he signed in 2020. He also has a player option for the 2025-26 season.

Antetokounmpo also addressed Milwaukee's recent trade for seven-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard, saying, "We added another level to our team. ... (The Bucks front office has) shown they're committed to winning a championship. I'm happy."

I know it's the nature of cap rising, but to the conversations about how the elite NBA stars are actually underpaid...kind of wild to look at Giannis, one of the unquestioned 3 best players in the world, on a 5/$228 deal when Devin Vassel and his 18/4/3 who isn't even in the top 20 players in the West, just got 5/$150

I have to admit, I had to look up that name, Devin Vassel. I do not even remember him in college, let alone the NBA.

He's just trolling.
Last year, he showed up for media day in dreadlocks.

Maybe he should focus on basketball and not hairstyles and he might win a ring.  He's no Hauser

I love all the NBA analysis that Holiday was not good enough for the Bucks to win a championship but now on the Celtics he is one of the best players all time.

The man can dribble with his left hand, he's the best player on the team

I haven't seen many, if any, analysts say Jrue wasn't good enough for the Bucks to win a title. He was quite literally the missing piece for the Bucks to win a title.

Jrue is awesome and he'll be incredible for the Celtics.

Right. The problem is they could not score the last two years come playoff time. Middleton has fallen off and Allen wasn't good enough. But you have to give up something to get something.

Not to mention that Giannis didn't just want to roll the same group back out there.

Lauren Holiday wasn't exactly thrilled with how the Bucks told Jrue he was traded.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think this ends up blowing up on the Bucks.
