Writer’s note: Riley is on a well-deserved vacation so I’m filling in, at least for this week.
It seems to be that time of year again. You know, the time when Giannis could sign an extension but probably won’t. The media speculates he wants out, and people (primarily those residing in Miami) think of all the possible scenarios to bring Giannis to Florida. Giannis normally says the usual stuff: “if the team is building and competing for a championship, I’ll stay” etc. etc. But it seems to be a different vibe this time. The media is still drafting these Giannis wants out articles, but Giannis is still saying these things and has added a new wrinkle.
