Been a really good career, he's a Top 15 player of his era. Easy HOF case, fun player to watch at his peak...

It's been 13 years so far, and it's been clear for a couple years that he's no longer in his prime. He'll attempt to come back from this injury, in the '27 season or so. But his best years are long gone, the Dame we'll remember, is Portland Dame, that was the best version of him...

Giannis has been bluffing this trade demand for a few years now. I don't quite buy that he asks out. But I do think the Bucks, from an organizational standpoint, their best path forward is probably making him available to trade...

The bucks have nothing breh nothing. No good players under 25. No lotto picks.

Giannis wants to go to a big market he's gone and I don't blame him.
it would take the Knicks getting swept for that to feel kinda sorta real, but with Dame out, if you ain't strapped with picks and plenty of em, I don't think Milwaukee pivots to remain competitive.

Houston might be the best shot for any distressed vet, especially if the Warriors eliminate them as a 7 seed.

I don’t understand the raptors talk. They have assets, but would have nothing left over. Gotta have both

Unless Giannis tanks the market by demanding 1 place, the clear beat spot is Houston. Houston is so deep they could offer up a godfather package and still have a contender left over

Bucks get: Jalen green, Jabari Smith, Tari Eason, FVV ($), picks
Rockets get: Giannis

Who says no?!

Reed Sheppard
Amen Thompson
Dillon brooks/ Cam whitmore
Giannis
Sengun

Amen would become a star. And I’m high on Cam and Reed Shepard

That team would be worse than the current rockets with zero spacing


If you walk away with a raptors team of
Quickley
RJ
Ingram
Giannis


Thats a better option plus being in the East
