Giannis has one “down year” (he still averaged 28/10/5) and people are acting like he’s totally washed.
He’s 31, not 35. Last year was the first time he’s played under 60 games in his career.
He’s been a top 5 MVP finalist 7 of the last 8 years.
2 seasons ago he averaged 30/12/7 on >60% eFG%.
Unless he totally tanks the process he’s going for a MASSIVE haul.
Just In: Conversations have started about @ShamsCharania’s future, and discussing whether the ESPN Senior NBA Insider’s best fit is staying on Giannis’ All-Star Celebrity team or elsewhere.
Definitive statement from Giannis on Instagram just now! Not only the epic I’m not leaving scene but also the caption strongly indicating Giannis intends to draw talent to play with him in Milwaukee. Wow
@SamQuinnCBS I think it’s closer than you think. Lottery pick adds blue chip player to develop. Two picks available to trade for a wing. And Giannis rests this year to fully heal.
Lineup of Rollins, Green, Trey Murphy*, Giannis, Turner. Lottery pick on the bench.
