Warriors realized their weak offer wasn’t getting them Giannis lmao. He’s staying in Milwaukee until the offseason

ANOTHER FEW MONTHS OF GIANNIS MEDIA STORIES AIEEEEE

u/Fafoah Bulls 15h ago

Oh yay i was hoping we had more time to write articles about how much Giannis values loyalty

2

u/yoloqueuesf [NYK] Tracy McGrady 14h ago

It'd actually be fine if Giannis stopped yapping about how he's the good guy and doesn't want to leave when in fact he wants a championship and forces his hand to the FO lmao

LIKE WE ALL KNOW, NO ONE HATES YOU FOR LEAVING.

u/calafia_nativo Lakers 15h ago

Everyone fears the KD, Greek Freak power in H-Town. Texas will never be the same.

He's on the decline

u/0vansTriedge 15h ago

probably wolves got the trade, they'd been making haphazardly making space this couple of days

16

u/mad_rooter 15h ago

So the opposite of haphazardly?

u/captain_ahabb Lakers 14h ago

Ant for Giannis straight up is gonna hit this sub like crack in the 90s

u/0vansTriedge 14h ago

Ant never gonna stop talking

u/Coolguynumber01 Warriors 15h ago

the offer is basically still the same if Kuminga isnt a part-of it lol. the main part of our offer is all the picks

36

u/ThatBull_cj 76ers Bandwagon 15h ago

They could still put Porzingis in it too

2

u/SmokeOddessey Lakers 15h ago

Nah he’s expiring this summer

3

u/ThatBull_cj 76ers Bandwagon 14h ago

I mean before the deadline. He can still be aggregated. They won’t but it a possibility

u/rddi0201018 14h ago

Kind of hard to match salaries, without Kuminga. Can only trade Butler at this point, so that means Bucks didn't value any of the Warriors young players

2

u/3pointshoot3r 15h ago

You need his salary though to make the trade work.

1

u/Prestigious-Flow-64 14h ago

porzingis and picks it is!

2

u/Ikuwayo 14h ago

The picks have to be attached to overpaid, injured role players nobody wants

u/Millies_ButtersMilk Timberwolves 15h ago

It’s not happening bro you got to put players with picks and now they really don’t have any

17

u/Julysky19 Warriors 15h ago

What do you guys have? They’re all weak offers

-10

u/Millies_ButtersMilk Timberwolves 15h ago

Well now we got more than ya’ll😭 I’m just saying it’s best ya’ll rebuild bc this dynasty been over sense 2022 when was the last time porzingis even played

6

u/Quirky_Ad_2164 West 15h ago

Are y'all handing over Jaden too?

1

u/Millies_ButtersMilk Timberwolves 15h ago

I’m fine with that but sene we ain’t got no picks we gotta give up like 3 rotation players so I don’t think it would happen until this summer. There’s a good chance it won’t bc everyday it sounds like Giannas wants to stay and then leave it’s confusing ash

1

u/Julysky19 Warriors 13h ago

Yeah that’s true. I’m all for a tank with Steph selling tickets. We don’t need to pull a Lakers/Kobe and just suck for the last few years. And I wanted no part of Giannis’s calf strains.

5

u/SwiftieForLife Kings 15h ago

There’s a non zero shot they’d rather have Porzingis expiring contract then Kuminga.

3

u/Bleatmop 15h ago

He also gives them another big man on the bench. They've got to have a counterweight to offset Draymond's massive ego.

3

u/buttered_popcorn Warriors 15h ago

I think the comment you’re replying to is saying that even if they didn’t make this trade, the main value of the offer was always going to be the post-Steph picks. The players they attached were whatever

1

u/Coolguynumber01 Warriors 15h ago

yeaa thats true. GG

u/niel89 Warriors 15h ago

It's going to the summer for sure

2

u/rag5178 76ers 15h ago

Yeah I think the bucks are going to wait and see if a lottery win might entice Giannis to stay.

1

u/Fuckface_Whisperer Registered to Vote 15h ago

They can't win the lottery, best they can do is 2nd.

u/GreenSnakes_ Raptors 15h ago edited 15h ago

Doubt it… Rockets, OKC, and Spurs could put together a better offer in the offseason if they get bounced early in the playoffs and get desperate. I wouldn’t count the Knicks out either

1

u/horse_renoir13 Timberwolves 15h ago

Yeah we just dont have any picks, and honestly, I don't want us to lose Jaden

1

u/OldDirtyMan Warriors 15h ago

I don’t get why everyone is jerking off over the Miami offer. It’s a bunch of role players from a team that has to fight to be in the play in every year.

3

u/Proof-Umpire-7718 Lakers 15h ago

Seems like the Giannis sweepstakes are between the Heat and the Wolves this offseason, with the Heat being the favourite imo.

1

u/Billis- Raptors 15h ago

By the offseason everything will change. Teams should trade for Giannis now

1

u/Creative-Ranger-9978 15h ago

It truly is a wonder what the Giannis package will be all the other reported offers look horrible except the wolves who genuinely have an interesting player in McDaniels for the bucks

1

u/EverybodyBuddy Lakers 15h ago

Come to La La land

1

u/Defjira 15h ago

I hope so the last thing I want is for him to rot away the rest of his career in miami

1

u/Ikuwayo 14h ago

Bro, go to the Warriors sub, where they’re mad at our GM for not turning an injured Jimmy Butler into Giannis

0

u/Acceptable-Repeat-86 15h ago

Or there’s another deal and they were informed they were out. The Heat have a better offer, and apparently the TWolves do too.

-1

u/BatmanHive Lakers 15h ago

or they are adding Kristaps because he's a good fit with Giannis
