I think he’s been like this the entire time, it’s just that winning solves everything. He’s always come across as a bit of a hothead. I’m starting to think that time he nailed Harden in the head was intentional 😂

Trying to get traded in the transfer window then trying to lock in if a transfer doesn’t happen is actually how I prefer my stars behave. The alternative is go full Jimmy. Is that what you guys want… Giannis to refuse to play all season till he’s traded?

It’s the nba sub special lol they know more about players and what they do more than anyone.

They think Giannis can call up a team and say he’s going there and then it’s a done deal.

If the trade happens it’ll be after the playoffs to see what teams are wanting a change up.

I tend to agree but you never know.

One school of thought is that you have to go all-in while Wemby is fully healthy, with that body and frame. We’ve seen far too may bigs careers get derailed because of injury. And since he’s already a Top 3-5 player in the world.

thecjm | Raptors

Totally agree. Ralph Sampson is the only real comp and he didn’t have a healthy season after age 25. You’ve got to go all in now on Wemby

I mean, there’s an argument that Fox is the third best of that trio, so sending out Fox doesn’t seem like that big of a deal (assuming you flesh out the depth of the guard rotation a bit by not having 5 centers on the roster)

Charming-Check5605

1 | 32 minutes ago

They’re gonna want one of Castle or Harper in the deal going back though, I don’t see a trade for Giannis where that isn’t the case really. All The future Spurs picks and Swaps won’t be enough, and the Spurs will have to match contracts I’m pretty sure, so you’re looking at losing ²⁄₃ of those guards for Giannis

Kareem was right there as a unique comp lol

thecjm | Raptors

Kareem was tall for an NBA center but Sampson was an athletic 7’4”. I think he’s the best comp for Wemby. You can not bank on a player having a career like Kareem or LeBron

GGTae | Spurs

2 | 43 minutes ago

y’all gotta stop with Ralph at 7’4 that’s an obvious myth, he’s 7’2 at best, clearly less than 7’1 now

Exotic_Pension_9993 | Suns

Him being 7’4 or 7’2 doesn’t really change anything. If anything him being 7’2 would make me more nervous about wemby’s long term outlook

-xXxMangoxXx- | Raptors

The spurs have had so much success that one more ring won’t change their franchises pedigree, so they’re fine taking the risk and hoping wemby stays healthy for a long time and try to get more rings.

Top 1 player in the world and its not close.

EDIT: Going to port this in from another comment while ya’ll downvote. Think what you want but you will agree with me this time next year - maybe next month - if this guy stays healthy. He’s not competing with Shai and Jokic, he’s competing with MJ and Russell. Consensus lags reality and the media’s job is to create interest through debate.

Sam Presti doesn’t seem like someone to make a big swing like a Giannis deal.

San Antonio doesn’t seem like they’re gonna overreact to a loss either, but the Fox salary also screams “trade chip/filler”

DemarcusLovin | NBA

3 | 2 hours ago

Just because he hasn’t in the past doesn’t mean he definitely wouldn’t, if they lost in the WCF. And they’re already facing some upcoming contract/salary concerns, so you could consolidate, as well as cashing in some of those draft picks

Yeah the only reason I could see the Spurs buying on Giannis is that they’re set to be paying Fox anyway

Clears up the backcourt for Harper/Castle and gives the PF their lineup is so clearly missing, on top of an obvious talent boost, for the basically the same situation contractually

grudgepacker | Bucks

2 | an hour ago

Bobby Portis would help a lot of contending teams who need instant bench scoring from a big. He’s a terrible on ball defender but he’s OK on help and is also plus on rebounds under the right system (last year was down for him but same for pretty much the entire team under Doc’s scheme) - put Bobby into the right situation again and he could flourish.

OpeDefinitely | Pacers

They actually just have to wait until the playoffs are over because of league rules.

Wouldn’t be shocked if the Lakers try to figure out a way to get Giannis + Turner. It would fix the Lakers’ center issues; Turner would help Giannis with spacing; and Luka can maximize Turner in the PnR.

I really doubt that either OKC or SAS bites. Pairing SGA with a guy who slips out of screens like crazy would be less than ideal. And IDK how the Spurs make the trade work without abandoning the idea of having a backcourt.

WaltRumble | Thunder

1 | 40 minutes ago

I think Giannis still wants to be the number 1 option. I don’t see him wanting to take a back seat to Luka, SGA, Jokic or Wemby. And those guys aren’t giving up the reigns. He could still be the first option over Ant possibly which really just leaves the East if he wants to be competitive.

Banneduser1112 | West

1 | an hour ago

Giannis has all the power here - would he extend with either team? So far he’s on the record with wanting an East Coast team to be closer to Greece but honestly with his prediction market bet stake you can’t trust anything he says because he’s profiting from the uncertainty.

Bobby Portis says Bucks players can’t even have conversations right now with each other because the future of Giannis is so blurry: “It’s hard for us right now to have a conversation when the future is so blurry. The owner said by the draft they’re going to do something with Giannis.”
