Sam Presti says SGA doesn’t seek foul calls with poor behavior
“All NBA players do is complain, bitch and moan and try to intimidate the officials with bad behavior in the games to give foul calls. He's gotten three technical fouls this year. None for complaining. One for waving a towel in support of someone that hit a shot that doesn't play very often. Okay. So he's not doing that.”

Sam Presti on the physicality in this year’s playoffs: “You didn't hear us complaining. We're not complaining. We just want to know what the rules are, and we'll play by those.” (via @AlexRoig_NBA)
The issue isn’t that they aren’t fouls, by the book they are. The issue is hes looking for fouls rather than playing the game and that is why okc failed to beat the spurs.
Sam Presti just fired back at SGA critics with some eye-opening numbers:
He drew 415 fouls this season.
Only 11 were challenged.
Only 4 were overturned.

Wes Goldberg GOES IN on Heat fans who are concerned about the depth after a Giannis trade:
“The depth stuff, I DON’T CARE! What are we talking about? This team stinks! They didn’t make the playoffs! Give them all the depth they want. This depth isn’t good enough. I’m not going to haggle. I love Jaime, I love Kas, I love Kel’el, all those guys. Goodbye. See ya. We’re done here. Let’s do the Giannis thing. We can’t be worse with Giannis than we were without Giannis.”

Every time a top 5 player in the NBA changed teams it resulted in a championship
Kareem —> Lakers
Shaq —> Lakers
Shaq —> Miami
LeBron —> Miami
LeBron —> Cleveland
Durant —> Warriors
LeBron —> Lakers
Kawhi —> Raptors
Davis —> Lakers
Giannis —> Miami next??
@HeatvsHaters This is wrong, Giannis needs a solid team. He has shown that he in fact can’t do it with out a solid team. Otherwise the bucks would have at least made it to the playoffs. They did not. Giannis alone does not make Miami a contender.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has questions about what the Heat roster would look like after a potential trade, per @sam_amick
“You don’t want to gut your roster and go to the place you’re excited to be in and have a hard time contending for a championship”

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s tenure with the Bucks appears to be coming to an end, per @BrettSiegelNBA.
Multiple league sources expect Milwaukee to move on before the NBA Draft, and many around the NBA believe the Miami Heat are the clear favorites to land Giannis.
If Giannis is who ppl are saying he is, why didn’t the bucks make the playoffs. This is my issue with him. Trading for him won’t make this team better.
I totally understand the skepticism on Miami landing Giannis
But the part that surprises me is those who push back on the aftermath of a potential deal
Let’s not forget who Giannis is even at this stage
And let’s stop acting like he’s 37 years old
If Miami get Giannis, 2 things might happen
1. Stars see the bigger picture of playing alongside GA and they decide they are willing to take less to join and build around him
2. There won’t be enough money and asset left to build around him
Which do u think more is likely?
Giannis Antetokounmpo says he hopes to be with the Milwaukee Bucks for “many more years”
“They reached out and said they want to open a restaurant here in Milwaukee. I was like ‘oh,lovely!’ After the games I’ll be able to come eat here… 2013, I got drafted, I came here, I’ve been here 13 years with the team and hopefully many more.”
