Maybe it was silly to assume that Ryan Rollins' emergence was enough to convince Giannis Antetokounmpo to stay in Milwaukee long-term. I kind of did trick myself into that, though — or at least conceived that Rollins' explosion onto the scene could help persuade Giannis into staying.
The lack of a clear future plan always seemed like a big reason for Giannis' potential willingness to ask out, and Rollins becoming a cornerstone in MKE is a step in the right direction of a clearer future.
It doesn't appear to have been enough. With Giannis now pondering his future with the Bucks, Rollins' future with this team isn't ruined.
