Tari Eason was offered a 100 million dollar contract last year but turned it down, now he seems disappointed that he signed for only 80 million dollars instead.
Edit: It's 5 years 81.5 million I messed up the title.
Kuzma: "You can’t get a center when two people making 600ms lol"
Anthony Davis replies to his comment: "Stop it 0 lol."
What Tyler Herro said about Bam: "You should get paid 60 million to be a top tier defender on some nights? I'm just wondering."
Tyler Herro's reaction to the DMS being leaked: "You lame for that. That's bitch shit. That's female shit. I wasn't badmouthing we was just talking hoops."
I remember in Knecht’s rookie season he was shooting the ball well, he looked like he would become a decent rotational player. When he scored 37 on the Jazz I thought he would be like the new Kyle Korver type of player. Then he just started falling off, losing all his minutes, he gets sent to the G league. He got surpassed by Bronny James somehow, he had a Ben Simmons type of fall off.
> Federal prosecutors say that Davis and Beasley got close while teammates with the Minnesota Timberwolves during the 2020-21 season. Davis then allegedly collaborated with Beasley to manipulate Beasley’s performance four times during the 2023-24 season while Beasley was with the Milwaukee Bucks. Prosecutors allege that their scheme began with the Jan. 26, 2024 Bucks-Cleveland Cavaliers game.
> “Only way you can beat Vegas is sports betting,” Davis texted Beasley about a month ahead of that game, according to the indictment. “Everything else they got the edge.”
> Federal prosecutors say that Beasley accrued millions of dollars in gambling debt and that Davis loaned him money. Beasley, prosecutors say, worked off that debt as part of this betting scheme. Davis and Beasley then allegedly worked with three others to bet on Beasley, according to the indictment. One of the men involved was Davis’ former NBA agent Paolo Zamorano, according to the indictment. Investigators allege that group bet tens of thousands of dollars on the Bucks-Cavaliers game.
> Prosecutors also allege Beasley rigged his performance during a Bucks-Charlotte Hornets game Feb. 27, 2024, a March 10 game against the LA Clippers and a March 21 game against the Brooklyn Nets.
> The bettors wagered on Beasley to hit the over on his rebounds against the Clippers, then celebrated when he collected his fourth rebound in the game’s final seconds, according to the indictment.
> The scheme went awry, according to prosecutors, after Beasley could not hit the under on his rebounds for the game against the Nets.
> Beasley, Davis, Zamorano and two other defendants — William “Willo” Brown and Robert Gorodetsky — all face charges of sports bribery, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, honest services fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Bobby Marks: "But what wasn’t posted was the 2m of saying I’m not an analytics person but an eye test guy. That I would want Jaylen Brown on my team. That you impact winning (191-80 in the last 4 years), is a top-10 player and would help any team looking to win a championship. That part of course didn’t make it. But that’s the media in 2026."
Jaylen Brown responds: "State your source"
Darryn Peterson: "The celebration stops tonight. I got drafted today, but tomorrow, I'm now an NBA player. I'm going to get home and work out until I've got to report to Utah... Kobe is my guy, and I'm inspired by him. So I just try to think, what would Kobe do right now? He'd get drafted and move on and try to go be the best possible, so that's what I'm going to go do. I see a guy that went No. 1 on the screen there right now (AJ Dybantsa), so I'm extra motivated... It will always be in my mind for my whole career."

> Antetokounmpo then began to amplify his issues. He criticized the coaches for not holding him accountable, how the offense was being run, and his teammate’s selfishness. That dissatisfaction then spilled onto the court. He stopped shooting. He booed the fans at Fiserv Forum. It looked like he wanted to walk off the court in San Antonio. “He’s not speaking it," a former teammate said, "but when you look at him on the court his body language is telling you how he feels and what he wants.”
> Antetokounmpo then aggravated his calf very early in a home loss to Denver on Jan. 23. Even though he was visibly injured, he remained in the game until he instinctively challenged a shot late in the game. That final explosion rendered him unable to run.
Following the game, Antetokounmpo uncharacteristically waited at his locker. Typically, if he did not finish a game because of an injury he would not speak. This time, he self-diagnosed his injury as a soleus strain and gave a timeline for his return.
By now players were resigned that an oft-injured and disengaged Antetokounmpo would not save their season. They had no faith in Rivers. The refrain of “doing what I’m told” began to ring around the locker room – that is, if they were even being told what to do.
>Two glaring examples came a month apart. Coming out of a timeout in the final seconds on Nov. 20 against Philadelphia, Kuzma was supposed to foul intentionally to stop the clock. As the play developed, he did not, and neither Rivers nor other coaches tried to alert him. Kuzma eventually fouled Tyrese Maxey in the act of shooting, which led to a tie game and an overtime loss. Then, late in a game at Minnesota on Dec. 21, Ryan Rollins was seen saying “Do we have a play?” as a team timeout ended. Rivers had to call another timeout to draw up a play. These were microcosms of the Bucks' lack of discipline and cohesion. Rivers at times would bemoan players forgetting plays out of timeouts, and other coaches privately questioned the collective basketball acumen of their team. Players, conversely, would often speak about not knowing what they were trying to accomplish either in individual plays or, more broadly, on the season.
> Antetokounmpo let it be known he did not like locker room leaks, but his mental state was chronicled nearly all season by anonymous sources. He pleaded for accountability but then tried to pass off those reports as someone else’s doing. He would call his teammates selfish but then stand on a visiting team’s court with a former coach and yell about how that person would make sure he got the ball.
> Despite a March proclamation that his relationship with the team could be salvaged with “couples therapy,” Antetokounmpo said on April 12 he was going to put his phone on “do not disturb” and not answer it.
“Just stay away from it – all of it,” he said. “I feel like this season, not just because of the way it went, it was draining for me for sure and how everybody approached my situation and the Bucks situation. But again, if it was draining for me, it was definitely draining for the team and for the organization."
For their part, ownership told Jenkins, the new coach, he should not assume Antetokounmpo would be on the roster. The team eventually brought Jenkins in with a six-year deal worth around $60 million. Jenkins and Antetokounmpo spoke on several occasions after his hiring, but other than that, Antetokounmpo stuck by his statement that he was not going to pick up the phone.
No other messages or calls from the Bucks to their star player were answered heading into June. The Bucks did not communicate to his representatives about some of their discussions with potential trade partners, either.
Antetokounmpo also did not allow any member of the team’s strength and conditioning staff to oversee his workouts in Milwaukee or Greece, despite being under contract.
It's interesting how the Hawks had to trade Trae for nothing because the narrative was that he was making too much while not helping the team win. Now he's on the Wizards and making more than he did on the Hawks. Trae Young will probably put up empty scoring stats while the team loses because their defense is bad. Then a few years into the contract the Hawks will try to trade him somewhere, but most teams won't be interested.
I don't know I feel like the Wizards would be better trying to acquire younger prospects to play alongside the number 1 pick and Sarr. I don't think this core of Trae and AD can get into the playoffs but maybe I'm wrong.
