The only teams i want to see Greek on is either the Cavs or OKC assuming none of then win the chip. Go somewhere where you can realistically win 3 or 4 titles in 5 or 6 years

It would be interesting to see him in San Antonio

Nah I get you, you mentioned in the sentence before on winning in the league having luck with injuries. I had just commented on the sentence after that, I didn't read it as if you were including them in that, but either way there are teams who wouldn't necessarily have to "gut" their team to get him like OKC and Houston.
Real question: Who do they have thats making money? Van Vleet is the only one I can think of off top and I doubt MIL wants him. The issue with having a lot of young talent is you gotta stack em if you trading for a big money guy like Giannis.

You’re not wrong at all, though Houston has a ton of young guys to the point where a guy like Reed Sheppard can still have value cause he didn’t play much this year. FVV, because of the money, Sheppard, and maybe Whitmore or Eason, and obviously picks would be my guess.

I'd go for the jugular and ask for Şengün and those Suns picks if I'm the Bucks.

Even would have to offer up Chet or Jalen and picks for him or the Cavs would have to part with Mobley if they were to theoretically join in the bid.

The Bucks would be a fool not to repeat what Dallas did and not having a bidding war and getting as much as they can in return.

You could count Houston and OKC out then. Doubt they give up 2 young "stars" and picks.

Yea that's the big thing with HOU and OKC... both see the opportunity but i doubt either is pressed for it to happen this offseason to where they'd give up that. Giannis is the one losing precious time

Mehhhh the situation is going to solve itself by the end of this upcoming season when Giannis makes it clear whether he'll accepts or turns down the Bucks contract extension.

We'll see if he learned anything from the Dame situation (before he left POR)

Sometimes it's better to just be up front about your situation and what you want to do, instead of the passive aggressive cold war trying not to be the "bad guy" but just wasting everyone's time in the process

Plot twist : Giannis gets hurt throughout the season again, says he wants to be traded in the offseason, and the only team with picks showing interest is Brooklyn. Houston, OKC, and SA are like nah we good we got a good team and we constantly keep lucking into high draft picks no matter how our season goes is better for us to keep doing that than trading for a dude over 30 making a max that always gets hurt.

He'll end up in ATL anyways, so it's okay.
