Will this actually be the new NBA thread or the mods keeping the old one? <45>

Seeing the Mavs fans in the end of the last thread cheering on the signing of Josh Green I can't help but think of all the below replacement level players they've had the last decade all on 15m to 20m contracts.

I feel like at any given time the Mavs have 60% of their cap on 3 plugs you could pull in the 20-30 range in the draft on 3m contracts.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has agreed to a contract extension with the Milwaukee Bucks, the two-time MVP announced himself on Twitter. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski went on to report the details: three years for $186 million with a player-option for the 2027-28 season. That option allows Antetokounmpo to become a free agent in 2027, when the contract of new teammate Damian Lillard expires, largely linking the two of them together in Milwaukee for the next four seasons.

Woohoo!!!

Great to see a small market franchise secure possibly the best player in the league!

I'll be pulling for the bucks this season.
