Bucks co-owner Wes Edens on Giannis Antetokounmpo: Sign extension or face trade
Milwaukee Bucks co-owners Wes Edens and Jimmy Haslam told ESPN in a joint 90-minute interview that they will decide the path to take with their two-time MVP together, and the most important factor will be whether Giannis Antetokounmpo signs the four-year, $275 million extension he is eligible to receive on Oct. 1. "Giannis is going into the last year [of his contract]," said Edens, the team's controlling owner until April 2028. "So one of two things will happen: Either he will be extended or he'll be traded." "The likelihood you'll let him just kind of play out the last year, we can't afford that. It's not consistent with what's good for the organization. That's not a Giannis issue. That's any player that's in their last year."
Was just about to post this too.
Decisions are being made.
The talent that surrounds Giannis. Yikes
To the lakers and then Bucks coincidentally get first pick overall

This is the team that stretched Dame to bring in Turner. Really rooting for them to get pennies on the dollar, just not in the East.

Try not to strangle yourself with the red string tying your conspiracies together.
That or its a web entanglement of Doris, Silver, and all things Lakers?
Love always,

I'd assume the conspiracy would have Jokic moving to LA and Giannis heading to Denver, Lebron back to Cleveland and some wonky compensation package ending back with Bucks.
Ownership is in trouble. No playoffs money and losing their best asset in 3-6 months.
