2024 right to swap
2025 1st unprotected

They really are going all in.
Hopefully Giannis sees that and will stick around.

I don’t understand it.
Didn’t the Bucks talk to this guy before making a trade for him, to make sure he wants to be here?
If not, they screwed up big time.

And also, does this nullify the trade?

I've read that this Bogdan is buddies with Giannis. Also read that the deal would be considered tampering. The thought going around is this is posturing to prevent both teams getting fined for tampering.

I hope this is the case.
The Bucks seem to want to go big for a championship this season, and no Bogdan probably means no Giannis too.
That would destroy any hopes of a title here.

Honestly, the Bucks having Giannis is the sole reason I have any interest in the NBA. How players are forcing themselves out of their current team so they can build super teams is kind of made me lose interest.
I respect teams like the Bulls from the 90's where they drafted Michael Jordan and via trade acquired the pick that was used for Scottie Pippen. And then they added filler pieces around them two for their dynasty.

The approach the Bucks are taking here kind of reminds me of the Bulls, but they didn't sell the farm for one of the top 10-15 players to pair with Khris and Giannis.

Giannis leaves the Bucks, I don't think I'll put forth any effort to watch.

That’s how I feel. It’s going on 50 years since they won it all.
If they lose Giannis, they have NO chance.
So I won’t be interested.
As it is, it was hard to stay involved, as the last 2 seasons ended with a huge letdown.
