Do I think it's likely MIL makes a big splash in the next 2 weeks? Probably not. But what if I say if they DO make a big splash and it guarantees Giannis resigning, I think it's pretty likely they make that move regardless of how it affects them in the long term.
Here's a little thought experiment, do you think it is more likely MIL will be more aggressive at the TDL if Giannis signs now, or deferrers extension talk to next offseason? It's THAT attitude that Giannis is imposing on MIL front office by taking his time.
Just because they can't make any realistic moves RIGHT NOW, doesn't mean Giannis should let up the pressure. He shouldn't give MIL any hints to where he's leaning so they shouldn't feel comfortable. It's precisely that attitude that could spur the Bucks ownership to make moves they wouldn't normally make.
Would you sign longtime with a franchise you don't trust at all? Sign 1+1 again and again?
This can't be a good sign for MIL.
