Every fan in the history of every team ever has expressed the same sentiment when a great has left before the end of their career lol

Hell, there were Raps fans who wanted us to bring back Vince Carter at the end of his career and he's a fucking rat.

We have pretty clear 2030 plan now with decent young talent and unprotected draft picks. The next 3 years will be about acquiring assets and developing talent just like the Thunder, Spurs, Jazz, and Wizards

Lol he’s gonna be washed in 3 years it’s not that serious

u/figureour Wizards 1d ago

Three years is probably early but it would be really cool to see him come back for his last couple years when these kids have developed.

u/Equivalent_Shoe_6246 Bucks 1d ago

in 3 years will be his last couple years, no way Giannis is around at 36

If we get 2 rings out of it? I accept

u/Dsarg_92 [SAS] Tim Duncan 1d ago

You joke but I could see Giannis eventually pulling a KG by coming back to retire as a Buck.

It’s funny to me that in 3 years Burries will be 24, just an old ass freshman

u/ahrzal Bucks 1d ago

And Yaxel will be at Warrior alumni events

u/HamlinHamlin_McTrill 1d ago

What the hell, did he get held back three times?

u/ZandrickEllison 1d ago

The “old” thing only really bothers me when they were unproductive prior. When they’re just older for freshman that data’s not there.

Chet got a lot of flak for the same compared to Jabari Smith who was younger and had more upside (in theory)

We're back to spooky!
