Ask Supes

I didn't want to rain on anyone's parade but Giannis has been Toronto or Miami for awhile. I know some people want Dallas and we want us but Masai and him are extremely close and Miami is where he wants to be if he leaves. He is still leaning to stay more than leaving, FYI unlike what this report says.

No drinking, no smoking, lived a fairly healthy lifestyle (if you don't count fast food) most of my life. But yah, people are shocked when they find out how old I am.

I'm blaming the secret as not eating condiments. My whole young life, we never had ketchup, mustard, mayo, salad dressing or anything like that.  I figure I've avoided tons of fats, sugar and salts that way. But I tried ketchup for the first time at 12 years old (same with mustard) and because I'd never had them, they smelled overwhelming to me. Never could be a fan. Forced myself to learn to like barbeque sauce at about 35.  Personally believe the existence of sloppy joes is proof we're living in a simulation. I can't stand the smell.

Hot sauce?   I could live without the others but maybe not hot sauce.

Not a fan (though in all fairness I'm not a fan of very spicy/hot).

Oh so now that we're behind the veil of secrecy, this turns into the "Ask campster about his crazy dietary habits thread"?  I'm just waiting for the "Ask kg" thread.  That thang's gonna be all kinds of wrong.

I do think you've brought up something interesting.  People greatly underestimate how the things we consume change our appearance.  Drinking and smoking, in particular, age people so terribly.

On topic(ish), before the bubble, I figured Giannis was all-in for Milwaukee.  I now feel the opposite for several reasons.  I bet he still remembers when that busy restaurant wouldn't serve him and his family.

Toronto is the team he wants to go to.

With a year to go, does it matter what his current preference might be? While we're not in the running right now, if we have a very good season next year (like a second round experience), I have to imagine he'd take a look at us when we're not even on the radar right now.

It's more personal than anything else but of course could the Hawks make sense in 2021, of course.

Honestly ... I'm not sure why.  Speaking just from a basketball point of view.  I get wanting to go where Masai is, so I'm not referring to that piece of this.

But by the time he's be able to get there, what will they be?  Lowry will be a year fatter, I mean older.  FVV may be gone.  Trashcal Siakim is probably the centerpiece of the trade to get him there.  Other than that, what else is there?  Anunoby? He's probably gettin' traded to MIL too.

He's tryna team up with Norm Powell and Boucher?

TOR is a regular season monster and a flash in the pan contender.  IOW they ain't much better than the current MIL team and are constructed similarly to not hide Giannis' weaknesses in the postseason.  I hope he thinks past the personal connection with Ujiri.

Masai and him are close and Masai like Riley knows how to build a great team.

Small info: 

The reason why GS is so on to Edwards is that teams think when Beal or a top player becomes available, they will use Edwards and assets as bait.

I'm turning 50 soon. Being in the senior zone is stoking some fears.

As much as i hate Boston and NY, it serves GS right that this is a weak draft and I hope all their plans explode in their face.  They didn't get near enough criticism for phoning games in this year after going to 5 finals.  I know injuries right?   i don't care.  screw those guys.

Can't spend it like this........

Read pages ~150 - 152 (I think).... it's great stuff.

Short version is that it was being pilfered by randos and put on Real GM and other places verbatim.

Now if there are my juicy tidbits they will be more secure for just senior members (ie. No lurkers).
