@Regular_P what you like for long holds in football right now

Besides Brady? It's so hard to predict in football. Mahomes looks like a safe bet but expectations are already built into his prices.

If Wilson gets one or two more Super Bowls, his prices could really take off. Of course, the same could be said for Rodgers.

Has wilsons prices been dipping with everything going on, or are his cards still holding?

Do you guys like more long term: Zion or Giannis?

Heavy Z. I see him having more postseason impact.

Luka

Between the two? I think Zion has more growth ahead of him. Zion likely to be more of a “face” and marketable than Giannis.

But Giannis already has hardware that Zion may not ever see.

Knew you'd say Luka. Just can't get over how high his prices are right now. They're dwarfing Giannis and Zion. So much risk to buy-in at current prices, imo.

I agree with you guys on your points about Zion but I also can't shake the feeling that Giannis could have another big explosion. His prices have pulled back quite a bit since that Bubble flameout. If he ran the table this year, he'd have two MVPs and a title in his pocket with a really bright outlook over the next five-plus years. His numbers are still obscene across the board.

Zion's more fundamentally sound. I have faith he'll be able to adjust to whatever is put in place to stop him quicker than Giannis has adjusted.

In terms of current value, I agree that some of Giannis’ stuff can be had for cheap because he lost some buzz after the last couple years’ playoffs

My concern is that I’m only seeing that continue. You think Giannis can take out the Nets? Can they even get past the 6ers if Embiid is healthy?

At least with Luka and Zion, they still have a future that is yet to be defined or constrained in any way. It feels like Giannis has essentially locked himself into his current Milwaukee situation with role players for the next 3-5 years and I can’t say I’m too thrilled about his chances of breaking through in the next 1-2 years.

Giannis + Middleton with role players doesn’t do it for me, personally

I’ve toned down a lot in cards.

Think you're gonna be waiting a while for that crash. Too much institutional money in it now.
