Interesting, if this was indeed the reason we drafted Kostas, that anyone in their right mind would believe that to be either true, or worthy of consideration from Giannis.(03-02-2020, 05:58 PM)ItsGoTime Wrote: The only people I see that are mad in this thread are the people trying to say “who cares”. Still wonder what comments we would have about Milton had we kept him.
I think the comments would be a range from "Free Shake, I can't believe Carlisle never gave him minutes" until he was eventually cut and did what he did in Philly where we'd all have pitch forks, to "I can't believe we decided to keep this dude over trying to get Kostas to lure Giannis, like what the Lakers are doing!!"
If Giannis comes here (he won’t be coming here), it will have little to nothing to do with drafting his brother once upon a time. We could have kept Milton and picked up Kostas off the undrafted heap after the fact.
Also, anyone who thinks drafting Kostas would have anything to do with luring Giannis here HAS to believe that cutting Kostas does just as much damage.
