     The NBA needs to be stricter with tampering, but this isn’t the way to go. How is saying you plan to do sign a current player on your team to the supermax once they get there? (Which he will, it almost guaranteed. He probably is already there, he’s just very young) I can see why it would be tampering to an extent, but its not the like the rest of the league thinks they can still get him if theBucks don’t sign him to the supermax. He has never wanted to leave Milwaukee. They got so much better once they brought in Budenholzer, they just barely lost to the eventual champion Raptors in the playoffs last year in a series that went 6 games. They can legitamtely challenge for 1st place, at worst 2nd this year. and they should make the ECF against the 76ers this year, so the whole league knows Giannis is happy where he is at. They are winning, he likes the atmosphere, his teammates what more do you need? It wasn’t a secret that the Bucks weren’t going to offer him the supermax once he’s eligible, so how is that tampering?

    I agree, something needs be done with the tampering issue but at the same time, maybe nothing can be done. I mean every team whether you are a small market team or not has to look early, and start recruiting players before they become free agents. Some teams start as early as May! In order to recruit them you have to visit or talk to them, so its the scouts and GM’s job to do this. So if every team is in a sense starting early (which could be defined as tampering) then if you don’t start early then you aren’t going to get the players you want, because when you finally do start in July, they will be gone!! Then you’ll be stuck in purgatory, and no one wants that. So you essentially have to start early in order to have a legitamate shot at getting the players you want. I heard it best on ESPN once (not sure who said it), but he compared it to people speeding on the highway. If everyone else is speeding on the highway, then the ones that are going the speed limit are essentially going slower than the speed of traffic and thus being a danger to themselves and everyone else. In other words just to go the speed of traffic, you have to go over the speed limit which is what everyone else does anyway on the highway, otherwise you could cause an accident! So if every team starts recruiting players early, then whether you are a small market team or not you have to start early as well otherwise you’ll be stuck in purgatory forever!!!

    The current system for tampering that just got agreed to is almost too strict. And you know what happens when a rule is too strict, people try to break it (which you have to in order to have a legitamate shot), now we’ll just have to see if they’ll get away with it. But I know one things for sure, while I don’t like tampering, I’m not going to look on a team any less if they do tamper. Afterall you have to, just to stay out of purgatory.
