I think the Bucks will want an established young player back. Spurs don't have that outside of Wemby.

Fwiw, I met his younger brother Kostas at my church when he was in the league. We chopped it up and he mentioned Dallas/Houston as attractive markets because of the large Nigerian communities.

I get wanting something back, but them lottery picks are valuable. Take Keldon Johnson, that blonde nikka, and the picks

The hawks are not a bottom feeder. I’m not trading Giannis for potential playoff team picks.
this draft the Hawks are in the lottery. The Spurs are in the lottery. 2 lottery picks. and another future unprotected from the Hawks.

OKC, Utah, and the Nets also got a lot of picks but many are protected. Spurs EASILY have the best draft pick package.

If I’m the bucks i don’t want all them nothing ass pics. I want players because i can’t tank because i don’t have my own picks. And you cannot tank hoping hawks are bad and we know the spurs picks would be at the end of the first if they had giannis.

It's too early to be talking about Giannis's future. It's putting a cloud on an interesting first round series.

Bucks down 3-1 vs a team that plays them competitively with their stars

Lol @ interesting , this series over

I think he'll leave when his contract is up; I don't see him requesting a trade; he'll give it one more year in “Cream City.”

The thing is, if you're Milwaukee, do you risk losing him for nothing? That's the important question.

The draft is in June and the Hawks pick is lottery right now for this draft. Spurs too have a lottery pick. The draft lottery will see how good both picks are.

Better do it now cause I don't see the Spurs not making the playoffs next year. Same with the Hawks when Jalen Johnson returns. So those future picks won't be worth more than late first.

Castle, both Hawks picks (this year and 2027), Spurs lottery pick this year, Keldon Johnson, and Sochan.

No it wont. Its not the 90s or 2000s anymore. You gotta have a legit squad and injury breaks to win in this league. We just watched Giannis and Dame and role players with chip pedigree be up and down the last year and a half and get bounced in rd 1 by the Pacers twice. Any team he gets traded to will have to gut itself. Spurs would be the only exception since I think they actually have space to absorb him. And he is 30 with miles and his own injury history and a game that isnt built for aging. And I say all this as a fan :russ:

Need some type of 3 way deal where Giannis comes to the Lakers, Bron goes somewhere, and Austin Reaves and FRP and 3rd team's assets end up in Milwaukee
