Its official, most HATE MIAMI HEAT. Why? In the last 30 years , behind the Spurs, the Miami Heat are the second most Winningest team in the League. They say, Giannis doesn't make the Heat contenders.. even though Jimmy, Bam and GLeague players went to conference finals 4 years straight and finals twice lmao
Here we go Giannis teaming up w lebum 💩
LeBron should retire
Pistons blow a team by 53 and they dont even mention them anywhere😂 lakers lose and that is all they talk about
yall talk about the lakers way to much, there arent the only team that needs to make a trade before trade deadline
Can we just have a disclaimer phrase to get it over with? I'm thinking something like "mandatory fake flowers for LeBron".
The Knicks need to make a trade, but it's not for Giannis.
No mention of the nuggets missing 3 starters??
knicks (as well as other nba teams) need to stay away from super stars until they have a productive bench…..i will take a bench over a top starting 5…and i think gms are starting to realize this…
adding giannis is one thing…but giving up core pieces to acquire him is another…..
i however would be willing to give up karl anthony towns tho….he wouldn't be needed if giannis comes into the picture…but wings (2 and 3's) are too valuable to give up in todays modern nba…for defense not just offensive reasons…bridges and og are too valuable right now
Denvers missing at least 2 starters as well.
If Giannis doesn't get moved it's because teams dont want the risk of his health and age and his contract prospects moving forward. I think a good deal would be this: The Bucks should try to clear out as much payroll as possible. They are going nowhere fast especially because Giannis is injured and out for 4-6 weeks plus. LeBron James is on an expiring contract and a swap for Giannis would work financially. I realize LeBron wouldn't want to go there but they prearrange that the Bucks will buy out LeBron so he can go right back to the Lakers. If Giannis comes back this year the Lakers will have a powerhouse team with LeBron handling, Luka at the 3 and Giannis at the 4. The Bucks will have cap relief toward next years free agency and the Lakers will give the Bucks 3 draft picks. The Bucks will be able to rebuild without tying themselves to an Albatross extension that Giannis has coming up. I have been called stupid but I believe this would be a good deal for both teams. Then LeBron expires after this season and Giannis $ replaces LeBron. If LeBron comes back it will be for small $ but if he wants to win another championship he will have a team that can do it. Big 3's are not as feasible as they used to be with the escalation of big salaries next to today's salary cap/tax lines.
The Pistons just set a franchise record for margin of victory (I know I know… the opponent matters) so can Detroit get a LITTLE glaze? I thought today we could have some of that GLAZE 😂🎉
HEEEYYY MONICA….HEY GUUURL❤❤
Lakers like
ESPN are a joke
Giannis to the warriors would be amazing
Bucks have Giannis' two brothers on the payroll….will other franchises also support this Family Plan?
What tf would the Milwaukee Bucks want from the Los Angeles Lakers and/or New York Knicks?
OKC vs Nuggets is a non-statement game. The Nuggets were missing 3 starters.
If Minnesota, Milwaukee and Boston could get together Minnesota could end up with Giannis & Derrick White/Anfernee Simons, the Celtics could end up with Julius Randle/Rudy Gobert and the Bucks could end up with a boat load of picks and young talent. Great deals for all…..
I only want to hear about a trade. Don’t bait motherfuckers on here.
Perk possesses NO LOGIC!!!! Milwaukee is eating $ on their cap due to Lillard and they're potentially losing Giannis. The best way back is cap space and draft picks. They have some veteran players that can help groom young talent coming in or completely tear it down and build from the ground up.
It's the Lakers no team is scared lol
Looks like that players only meeting Brunson had worked wonders for now.
I don't believe in this team. Trade Kat, trade Brunson… do whatever it takes!
Whatever espn. LeBron, LeBron. Saying his name wont make him any better. Still the biggest fraud in the history of the NBA.. I guess in that sense youre a match made in heaven. You're as fake as wrestling!
I think that even ESPN now realizes that Lebron dunking at 41 does not mean that the Lakers will win a championship.
Who wants KAT at $55million
Look at who the Knicks have beaten the last six…tell the resurgent story.
Monica Mcnutt doesn’t know who Barry Sanders is
02 02 26 SPORTS!
SGA getting 20 point games in his sleep… Lol
I genuinely believe that trading Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Golden State Warriors could be the best move for the Milwaukee Bucks. Here’s why:Strong Contending Team: The Warriors have a proven track record with their core players like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. This trade could help maintain competitiveness for both teams.
Valuable Asset Exchange: The Bucks could receive a significant return in terms of young talent, draft picks, or established players, allowing them to rebuild effectively while still being competitive.
Balanced Roster: This trade could create a more balanced roster for both teams, enhancing their chances of success in the current season and beyond.
Strategic Fit: The Warriors' style of play aligns well with the strengths of the Bucks, which could lead to improved performance on both sides.
Future Potential: By acquiring draft picks or younger players, both teams can set themselves up for sustained success over the coming years.
However, it’s essential to consider the team chemistry and fan base reaction, as trades involving star players can significantly impact morale and loyalty. Ultimately, a trade with the Warriors offers a unique opportunity to reshape the future for both franchises while still contending.
I love it. Because the Lakers are the biggest draw. Sorry to hurt your feelings. I hope they get him to
Make you Sicker!!!
All I know is, if I had a say in the trades, aint no way Im taking a Max contract AND Thannisis. Thats already a third of the salary cap this year. You cant have it both ways. Idc if he is just on a 1yr because you know Giannis is going to try and throw his weight around and make demands.
Lets Go Knicks✊✊
Someone just lost their job
Knicks is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 they better than LA 😢
Wow Lakers lose,world stop wow
Dont worry Gianis is coming in summer and who ever they want just like they want Luka and get it
Who ever thing that Dalas GM ask for trade is pure idiot
Windy knows nothing about basketball. He could probably tell you the toys that come with a McDonalds happy meal, that is about it. If that is the information you are looking for.
