A while back, Former Site Overlord Mitchell Maurer posed a question: How much value is there in giving someone what they want compared to giving someone what they need?
The “someone” here is Giannis Antetokounmpo. The “what they want” is Adrian Griffin, Damien Lillard, and anyone north of 30. The thinking here is that giving Giannis what he wants will keep him in Milwaukee, which will win championships. The “what they need” is Mike Budenholzer, Jrue Holiday, and anyone south of 30. The thinking here is that giving Giannis what he needs will win championships, which will keep him in Milwaukee.
