He probably knows that even if things go south, he could somehow make it to another team without being stuck forever on the Bucks.(11-30-2020, 01:00 PM)haveitall Wrote: The attraction for giannis to resign is the huge amount of money and the injury risk he takes if he waits
Giannis is one of the few players in the league that no matter what, he's going to get his money.
Kevin Durant tore his achilles, and the Nets still signed him to a 4 year 164 million max contract. Giannis is 6 years younger and just won back to back MVP's.
There is no risk to Giannis waiting.
He signs the super max, with a wink wink deal that the Bucks front office trade him if things go south. Bucks front office agree because they would basically agree to everything ...
Except it would mean weakening the team he is going to. If he doesn't sign it right now and goes to Dallas the starting 5 is is Doncic, Richardson, THJ, KP, and Giannis, with DFS and a bunch of rookies and vets coming off the bench. If he gets traded it will be 3 1st rounders and an all star or 2. So take at least 2 starters out.
