That's why the Lakers were willing to risk tampering, finds the court Anthony Davis, and that's why there was two years of league wide hand wringing over whether Yannis and to decompose was going to sign the Supermax in Milwaukee It's also why now, in the wake of Yannis announcement that he is indeed re upping with the Bucks that the attention of the entire MBA is now shifting back Thio Houston and disgruntled superstar James Harden.

這就是為什麼湖人隊願意冒著被篡改的風險，發現球場上的安東尼-戴維斯，這就是為什麼有兩年的聯盟範圍內手忙腳亂的楊尼斯和分解是否要在密爾沃基簽下超級巨星的原因這也是為什麼現在，在楊尼斯宣佈他確實是重新與籃網隊，整個MBA的注意力現在轉移回Thio休斯頓和不滿的超級明星詹姆斯-哈登。

Sort of.
