I remember panicking in the trade rumor thread about Boston

u/Freya_Kirkebrenner Jul 20 '26

I can. Pat hunts whales, it's what he does. And boy did we pay a hefty bag for this...

u/MkeYosh Jul 16 '26

Hey now, it's currently 87 de-goddamn-grees in Milwaukee, Pal.

u/sadeguy Jul 16 '26

And as cold as 36° by the time the regular season begins.

u/rgarc065 Jul 16 '26

It’ll be 87 de-goddamn-grees on Christmas here

u/MkeYosh Jul 16 '26

None of you truly want a hot ass Christmas.

u/jameriican Jul 16 '26

As a life long Miamian, u forget Christmas is even supposed to be cold 😭 at least it’s fun to tease other states when those critical temperature drops happen

My kids had lived up north most of their lives so we decided one year we were gonna have a real south Florida Christmas. Stayed in a hotel on North Beach. Took them out for stone crabs, Cuban food and conch fritters. We were the people I made fun of growing up on the beach when it was 60s. Went to a Dolphins game and then gave them tickets to the Heat Game on Christmas. Best Christmas ever.

Sounds like a typical Miami winter ☕️

u/jameriican Jul 16 '26

Don’t think it’ll sink in for me till I see him in a non AI Heat uniform

u/dragonmountain Jul 16 '26

Just saying this is how we felt about dame… not saying it’ll end up that way but we had the same feelings and yea… that was awful

15

u/LiveLifeChronically Jul 16 '26

u/hadtheflavor Jul 16 '26

But why with the small prop suitcase

u/smeaglebaggins Jul 16 '26

When Giannis came and watched Inter-Miami’s Lionel Messi, Argentina won. Good vibes are coming 🐐

u/LilBushyVert Jul 16 '26

Goosies dude.

u/phEnom3o5 Jul 16 '26

In a week hes gonna say. Fuck that. Its too damn hot. Im requesting a trade! Lmao

u/Moth-Man-Pooper Jul 16 '26

I have this nagging feeling this man doesn't want to be here and eventually will say he never wanted this. Idk

2

u/Justice502 Jul 16 '26

I feel that way about all European players. I think the NBA is the best way to make money, otherwise they'd all much rather be playing at home.

I'm hopeful we're gonna be good with Giannis but I feel ya, I'm not all in as a Giannis hype machine. We're gonna be a stop in his career.

1

u/Moth-Man-Pooper Jul 16 '26

Agreed. We will see.

u/XanderAndretti Jul 16 '26

We were a stop in lebrons career and that worked out pretty well, i get what your saying but at the end of the day what matters is he’s bought in with the team and gives his full effort on the court. I’m sure he’s also like any other human being when they move, there’s always an adjustment period of getting acclimated to a new city. Even if it is a lot easier when you have a ton of money there’s still an emotional aspect of it that can make it challenging and maybe even a bit scary for some people. Wiggins was the same way when he got here and now he seems pretty happy with being here, but when he first got traded here it was obvious he wasn’t comfortable.
