PG, Russ, Wall. Big contracts can be moved. And an unhappy star will ultimately be accommodated. Giannis is an amalgam of both scenarios.
two of the three were negative value contracts though. There's no precedent for an MVP caliber player being moved in the first year of a multi-year contract because of a trade request.

Siakim was an all-star last season :stopitslime:

Shaq & Charles just being f*cking lazy.

He a 1-time all-star...from a era where everything's forgotten. That's just the way the pecking order goes. You have to make real noise for a while, for an elder to acknowledge you. That's how you go from "Such-n-Such son" or "Young'n on that team", into your own. Siakim is not yet good enough for his name to be known by the elders. He may get a keep it up, young fella, but not where they know his name. They don't know most of these other players.

Breh stop caping for Shaq's lazy ass. We not talking about a fringe player. We talking about an a cat who made the all-star team last season & is the highest paid player on the team. Raptors have been on TNT plenty of times. He should know who the f*ck Pascal Siakim is.

Barkley was on Simmons podcast and he said Kevin McHale was the best forward he ever played against. which made my face go :why: cause i almost never hear ppl hype him up, not even cacs
Though I don't really know much about that era of celtics I knew McHale wasn't a bum, but I didn't realize he was like a MVP caliber player in his healthy prime
Apparently dude had Hakeem level footwork in the post. Completely informs my view of him re: his Rockets coaching tenure and his credibility (being a great player doesn't mean great coach but i'm saying)
