I did not realize the Warriors have those kind of assets.
They likely will not be their peak this next season because a lot of guys are just coming back and a lot of new faces again.

But a year from now, 2022-23 season, if they use their assets to attain another superstar, they should be front runners.

Even more reason that we basically have this season and next to get a title out of Bron-AD. This offseason, Rob really needs to go out and get a 3rd option ballhandling creating wing-guard, to help them get a title or make another run. This past season was exceptional in that we really relied heavily on Bron during the RS, and I do not want to see a repeat next season.

I see next season as our last realistic shot at a title with the Bron-AD duo. 2-2 would be great, but even 1-2 would be very good. This guys are so great together, it would be a shame if we could not get 1 title out of them.

Bucks will try to placate Giannis by trying to get a new coach, or teammates, etc.

I don't see the allure of a #2 pick in a bad draft, and next year's Minny pick (who knows where that goes) plus Wiggins doing it. If you add Klay, he's not necessarily going to be a #1 option for a Bucks team.

Wow, talk about pipe.

Obviously he's just going to join the Lakers.

Lebon (comes back at league min)
AD (also gives us a discount)
Giannis
Rondo
Kuzma (resigned 5 years/120 mil)

that starting 5


not a balanced starting 5 at all. best shooter on that squad is your power forward. i'd much rather have any combination of the following:

LBJ+AD+all star shooter (in the mold of CJ McCollum and Beal)
LBJ+Giannis+all star shooter (in the mold of CJ McCollum and Beal)
AD+Giannis+all star shooter (in the mold of CJ McCollum and Beal)

I have a hard time seeing Giannis join the Lakers, unless LBJ retires.

I think it's Miami/Toronto most likely. I think he wants better coaching and Spo/Nurse are upgrades.

I'm worried that this Championship window for us is now or bust. Losing here might make AD leave to Chicago while we are stuck without assets, and an old team with gaping weaknesses. I hope I'm only psyching myself out.
