Have been banned from the other thread by an apparently sensitive snowflake (ironically after dozens of pages of political discussion from others) so I'll stick my thoughts on the NBA Playoffs here from now on. We needed a new thread anyway. [Reply]

That's not the point, at all.
If Giannis goes to Golden State or the Knicks or any other large market team, he's going to sign massive endorsement deals that wouldn't otherwise be available if he stays in a small market like Milwaukee. [Reply]

Being from around KC I'm always going to root for the small market teams to keep their home grown stars for stars to not form super teams via FA.
Also LBJ was doing ok in Cleveland which is about half the size of Milwaukee. Favre and Rodgers also found their way on TV in spite of being from the cheese state.

It boils down to what his priorities are.
His priorities should be to earn as much money as possible, today, because tomorrow isn't guaranteed. [Reply]

Make as much money as possible because it could all come to a crashing halt tomorrow.
Unless you're his agent or financial advisor, I don't see why you would really give a shit about whether Giannis makes 30 million in endorsements instead of 50 million. As a fan of the league, I want to see a competitive league with a lot of parity among all teams big and small. Not just a bunch of farm teams for the Lakers, Knicks, Celtics, and Warriors. [Reply]

It's completely different.
NBA games don't draw in excess of 20 million people per game. Mahomes will be transcendent for the next 10-15 years while Giannis will likely begin his slide in the next 5-7 years.

I'm all for athletes, regardless of their city or team, to earn as much money as possible because their careers can come to an end in a flash.
And the Knicks haven't been relevant nearly 25 years, so if you want a competitive league, then New York would be an ideal destination for him. [Reply]

Well I guess it is time for the Knicks to be competitive again lol. [Reply]
