This is why you can’t have players being GM’s,because you give up a playoff piece for a stats guy because your star is mad that he has to make jumpshot sometimes

Hi Giannis we hope this shows our commitment to winning. You're good with losing half your touches, right?

What about Giannis makes you think he particularly cares about his touches.

with the expected playtime of their other top stars phoenix is probably going to need someone who can absorb some touches for the regular season. maybe a large dude who could easily find space to work in the post?

The relationship between Ayton and the organization has been poisoned for two years and now Ayton, a former number one overall pick, is the fourth option instead of the third. You think the prospect of increased jump hook opportunities in February is gonna bring about reconciliation?

i will never learn anything about deandre ayton drama and you cant make me. if they want to give touches to braderick beal in 2023 over a dude who has only shot below 60% ts% once in his entire career then i dont think any personnel moves will fix what is broken

This. This!!

Nurkic and eubanks will be fine, I am mostly just ticked we gave up camara in this deal because I think he is going to be a valuable rotation player by next year. Glad we don’t give up any picks in this deal

I mean, you can actually watch him play basketball. And see his decision making and know that he was more than willing to let Kris Middleton go off when Kris had it going.

And has consistently played pretty unselfish smart basketball, unless he had to "take over"

Really interesting move for Milwaukee. I like it. They've got Giannis and Brook, they can make up for Dame's shortcomings on defense.

this has happened every offseason lmao, herro is gonna be the same player for better or worse

it's a pity cronin apparently won't deal with riley because i would absolutely love jrue in miami
The deal with Miami just wasn't there or maybe he would have, but maybe Miami could be in play for Jrue. He'd be a big upgrade from Gave Vincent. Maybe Philly could be a destination. I wonder how fast that can get done, are there any restrictions on them immediately flipping Jrue?

The tampering consulted of showing him Giannis and then saying "you and him" alongside endless Shaq and Kobe clips. Or Jokic and Jamal clips really.

Dame and Jimmy really just thought because they wanted to team up that it had to happen and now they're mad.

I wonder if Jimmy's source on this is Dame himself, like a Milwaukee front office person reached out to see if Dame would report or something but I don't even know what wouldn't be allowed.

Clippers are the most obvious landing spot, they have a lot expiring contracts in the $10-$20 mil range and are far enough from the Paul George trade that they have a few first rounders they're allowed to trade

Morris, Batum, and Plumlee are all expiring and are enough to match Jrue's salary
