Problem with Bucks is that, Lakers could get  any player they want most of the time, even when they sucked so bad that for a lot of years they didn't even made it to playoffs and suddenly they got Lebron and AD, that is not something any team could manage, you can't just miss out on playoffs for years after years and get Lebron from Free agency, that is not normal for any team.

Bucks have Giannis which is great, but they are a small market team and no one is going "I want to finish out my contract and go play with Giannis next", everyone is looking for their own income and success and they know bucks can't provide neither. Lakers could give you the same money but in Los Angeles you can make a ton more money outside of basketball as well. So long story short, Bucks and Giannis needs to part ways, they can't suddenly become like LA and Lebron, that is not possible.

the time of experiment is already over, and he has proven himself that he cannot carry his team in the playoffs, he need someone to him him, go pair with the popular now, Butler, or even join the GSW and dominate the East, for sure Giannis would be a great player as Warriors coaching is different from Bucks
Come on, Giannis is only 25 years old, and he has enough time for experiments. Anyway, I think that he won't feel comfortable to share the team leader position with Curry, Thompson, Green. So, Warriors wouldn't be a good solution for him.
IIRC, I think that was two season where their experiment has failed, 25 years old is still young but he should make a decision early as we never know what could happen in the future, you know injury is still possible for this young talent as he is very aggressive in the floor.

He should start thinking about that, instead of trying it hard why not try different things, playing alongside with other super stars is no longer new to this league.

LeBron and KD are the best examples of players who joined another sets of stars and good managements who able to bring them a ring, Giannis should start thinking about it, He's young and very aggressive injuries might him much better to start chasing in winning  a title.

True!

This might really be in talks of pride but if you do really plan on winning a title then you should really be trying to mixed up with much more better team.Its not necessarily for him to leave

but if he do saw that he had might a chance on going to the top with other squad then it isnt really a bad option to take.You are right that even Lebron and KD did make such thing.

Its already been a norm and theres no need to think back if you should completely stick on where you had started.

"Sources: Ty Lue agrees to five-year deal to coach LA Clippers"
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30121649/sources-ty-lue-finalizing-five-year-deal-coach-la-clippers

So Clippers fired Doc Rivers only to hire his assistant lol, makes you wonder who was behind all that, the players or Steve Ballmer.
It's a good opportunity for Ty Lue to showcase his coaching abilities and since there's plenty of talent on that roster i think he will do just fine, at least a wcf appearance.


Daryl Morey stepping down as Houston Rockets GM, sources say
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30120824/daryl-morey-stepping-houston-rockets-gm-sources-say

I actually expected this to happen at one point or another, even though Morey, the NBA or Fertitta will not admit, i think him stepping down from the Rockets GM job is somewhat connected with China and his tweet in support of the Hong Kong protests last year. As you all know this costed NBA a lot of money, Rockets games were banned in China, losing hundreds of millions in this current situation is not an option...so yeah i'm not surprised at all.
Interesting to see who they hire as a new head coach, will they still play small-ball post Morey, or maybe trade Harden (who is 31) and go for a full rebuild, a lot of question marks ahead of the new season for Rockets fans.

IIRC, I think that was two season where their experiment has failed, 25 years old is still young but he should make a decision early as we never know what could happen in the future, you know injury is still possible for this young talent as he is very aggressive in the floor.

He could stay with the Bucks but his voice needs to be heard too.
Talk about rebuilding the team.
I think what Lebron did was a good example. Now he got another championship.
He has a goal and he talked with the Lakers management about it. Taking out the young talents and putting veterans who have the same goal as him.

Giannis can do that now. I bet the Bucks management don't want to lose him just yet.
He should, he needs to be vocal as he is the leader of the Bucks team and he sees what the Management didn't see inside the court. I will say at 25 he is in the right age to really talk to the Management, yes he is an experiment of the Bucks, but that experiment will fail if they don't get a response from them. I'm sure the Bucks doesn't want to let go of him at this point, will still pursue other options but Giannis should be in the middle or at least have something to say regardless if someone is traded or acquire so that the missing pieces could be found.

When he take over the team from a fired coach, that's usually he got his success.  Smiley

First the cavs ; https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2016/01/cavs-fire-david-blatt.html

Now, the clippers, so can we expect the Clippers to be the NBA champion next season?

I just saw this article hours ago and Davis Opt-out in the Player Option and decided to re-sign with the Lakers.

https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-news-basketball-breaking-anthony-davis-to-opt-out-of-player-option-and-resign-with-the-los-angeles-lakers/

Its kinda expected for me though although I thought that he will also do what Kawhi did when he left the Raptors. What can you say?? Back-to-back championship for them?? They are now the favorites to win the title this upcoming season Cheesy.

They are the favorites for the next season. I'm expecting a lot of offers for most of their players and it's their choice to get out or not. I've shared about Jason Kidd being part of the rumor of the choice of New Orleans.
There's also this rumor about Dwight Howard of transferring to Golden State Warriors. A lot of these actions have seen coming and let's wait which of those will happen for real.

Good for the Lakers, they'll be able to remain the top favorites if Davis will stay with the team, for sure the Lakers can still give him a good salary despite having Lebron already.

There's also this rumor about Dwight Howard of transferring to Golden State Warriors. A lot of these actions have seen coming and let's wait which of those will happen for real.
Howard wasn't really big for the Lakers, he is not on his prime anymore but I think he'll be more useful with the GSW and there he can show the kind of defensive he is as a center.

Looks like Davis has finally found a home, Lakers now are intact and with that decision of Davis, I think Bron will not anymore leave the Lakers and probably retire in the same team.

Its kinda expected for me though although I thought that he will also do what Kawhi did when he left the Raptors. What can you say?? Back-to-back championship for them?? They are now the favorites to win the title this upcoming season Cheesy.
I'm not expecting a back to back, at least next season there's a warriors and Nets going to battle this favorite team, and I'm hoping as well that home court advantage will be experience as the pandemic will be over.

the time of experiment is already over, and he has proven himself that he cannot carry his team in the playoffs, he need someone to him him, go pair with the popular now, Butler, or even join the GSW and dominate the East, for sure Giannis would be a great player as Warriors coaching is different from Bucks
Come on, Giannis is only 25 years old, and he has enough time for experiments. Anyway, I think that he won't feel comfortable to share the team leader position with Curry, Thompson, Green. So, Warriors wouldn't be a good solution for him.
IIRC, I think that was two season where their experiment has failed, 25 years old is still young but he should make a decision early as we never know what could happen in the future, you know injury is still possible for this young talent as he is very aggressive in the floor.

He should start thinking about that, instead of trying it hard why not try different things, playing alongside with other super stars is no longer new to this league.
Hopefully his consultant or manager would influence him, he is not an american, but to be added in the hall of Famer is such a big recognition not only for him but also the country he represents.

LeBron and KD are the best examples of players who joined another sets of stars and good managements who able to bring them a ring, Giannis should start thinking about it, He's young and very aggressive injuries might him much better to start chasing in winning  a title.

I think Lebron started it, I even hate him when he joined with the Heat but now I understand what they really like to achieved.

Durant had a championship, right after he joined the GSW, Lebron had the same, so Giannis has to think of that as well.

The Black community will be happy with this news.
Change is happening in a good pace. Their voice are being heard. I am happy for Coach Lue.

Daryl Morey stepping down as Houston Rockets GM, sources say
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30120824/daryl-morey-stepping-houston-rockets-gm-sources-say

I actually expected this to happen at one point or another, even though Morey, the NBA or Fertitta will not admit, i think him stepping down from the Rockets GM job is somewhat connected with China and his tweet in support of the Hong Kong protests last year. As you all know this costed NBA a lot of money, Rockets games were banned in China, losing hundreds of millions in this current situation is not an option...so yeah i'm not surprised at all.
Interesting to see who they hire as a new head coach, will they still play small-ball post Morey, or maybe trade Harden (who is 31) and go for a full rebuild, a lot of question marks ahead of the new season for Rockets fans.
Oooh, this controversy happened even before the  bubble, iirc.
Can't wait to see a sequence of news popping out in Twitter about the Rockets.
Here is one just recently.

Durant had a championship, right after he joined the GSW, Lebron had the same, so Giannis has to think of that as well.

If I would rank Lebron, AD, and Giannis, I will put Giannis in the last position.
The Greek Freak gives a show in the regular season but can't do it in the playoffs, that's what separates him from the two.

Durant went in the NBA finals during his time with OKC, so did Lebron during his time with the Cavaliers (before he transfer), Giannis did not achieve that level of success.

agree that Giannis did not proved his value in the play-off, during season teams are relaxed and it is easier to have great stats, if you are good, but great players show themselves in the play-off, when it is all-in, you can see many times that top teams from regular season do not reach finals in the end
it is a long season, and it is important to qualify for the play-off, but you do not have to do your best in regular season, i think that defence play starts with play-off, in regular season, most teams are playing attack only

He won't learn with the same squad, so it's better for him to pair with a fellow star and see if there's an improvement, unfortunately that would mean leaving his current team for another team, and he can do that as there's a lot of team who is interested with him, actually people are already speculating he will play with the Heat or the Dallas Mavericks, these are great teams, imagine what will they become having Giannis.

Giannis + Luka + Porzingis ?  That would be surely a good team.I do agree that its better for Giannis to pair with other star and i agree that there would surely be an improvement but i wont be surprised if he
would decide to stay with the team. Heat or Dallas? It would be much better if he do chose Mavs and i do see a much better improvement and impact towards his career.He would need to make up
decisions if he wants to move further.About regular-season and playoffs performance then i do able to observe that too that majority on top ranks doesnt really able to sustain to go through finals.

That is not a super team I guess but they'll be a great contender in the NBA championship, neither Luka and Porzingis have won an MVP yet, unlike Wade and Curry where Lebron and Durant paired with to win a championship, still there's a balance in the NBA, so hopefully this will happen.

I just saw this article hours ago and Davis Opt-out in the Player Option and decided to re-sign with the Lakers.

https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-news-basketball-breaking-anthony-davis-to-opt-out-of-player-option-and-resign-with-the-los-angeles-lakers/

Its kinda expected for me though although I thought that he will also do what Kawhi did when he left the Raptors. What can you say?? Back-to-back championship for them?? They are now the favorites to win the title this upcoming season Cheesy.
They are the favorites for the next season. I'm expecting a lot of offers for most of their players and it's their choice to get out or not. I've shared about Jason Kidd being part of the rumor of the choice of New Orleans.
Good for the Lakers, they'll be able to remain the top favorites if Davis will stay with the team, for sure the Lakers can still give him a good salary despite having Lebron already.

There's also this rumor about Dwight Howard of transferring to Golden State Warriors. A lot of these actions have seen coming and let's wait which of those will happen for real.
Howard wasn't really big for the Lakers, he is not on his prime anymore but I think he'll be more useful with the GSW and there he can show the kind of defensive he is as a center.

Rajon Rondo and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also opting out of Lakers contract:
https://nba.nbcsports.com/2020/10/15/report-kentavious-caldwell-pope-opting-out-of-lakers-contract/

Personally I think (and hope) that all three players (AD, KCP, RR) will represent the Lakers next season. Well, unless the Lakers manage to get Chris Paul, then they will probably say goodbye to Rondo. However, I do not think that is realistic.

Both players deserve a great contract, so we can understand their decision, I think the Lakers can't offer them a good salary of their expectation, so they'll be moving to other team and for sure there are teams which will interest on them, they could play on a separate team, that's alright, they have now the experience and they can contribute well to whatever team they will be playing.

Rondo is a gem, he is a great PG, probably a hall of famer in the future, so I hope he will be able to play at a good team that has a chance to qualify in the playoffs. What about playing along with Giannis, is it possible?

It would be easier if Giannis joined to Rondo and his more titled brother - Kostas. Championship title secured  Cheesy Cheesy
