'Entire NBA Offseason Will Hinge' On Giannis Antetokounmpo's Decision With Bucks

[NotAHotep]

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

LeBron has a no trade clause.

LeBron has a no trade clause.

He can opt out and become a FA this summer

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Spurs have the best picks to offer. They own their own picks plus 2 completely unprotected Hawks picks. This is the year to strike since both the Hawks and Spurs are both in the lottery with picks. That's who I'm calling.

OKC and Nets have a lot of picks but they're mostly protected. And who wants to goto Utah.

Nah those Suns picks the rockets have are way better than 2 hawks picks and the Spurs picks imo

He is not leaving Bronny to fend for himself in LA media

Bronny can go with him in a sign & trade

Does Giannis want to go to San Antonio?

Especially without Pop

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

Bucks weren’t healthy in either series though, Giannis missed the playoffs completely last year and we all know what happened to Dame this year. They shouldn’t have been expected to beat the Pacers, and likely weren't even favored, especially last year.

I'll be shocked if he leaves Milwaukee. That's his personal stomping ground and his home. That's all he knows and there's nothing wrong with that.

houston has young players and attractive picks (suns '25, '27 & '29).

 

[wire28]

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.

Giannis is Greek though

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

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.

One more year in "Cream City" is a waste of time for his career as Dame isn't coming back next season and they no realistic way of improving the team around him. It's over for that roster and has been for a while now.

He should take note of his fellow teammate in not waiting too late to ask out as that's wasted years of your prime that you can't get back.

You missed where I acknowledged injuries. Gutting your squad for a 30 yr old with Giannis' miles, game, and injury history doesnt help you in that regard.

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.

 

[Jplaya2023]

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

 

[who_better_than_me]

I could envision a deal around Giannis and Sengun + players if the numbers work out.

The goal is to surround the Demarcus’s layer with another franchise player not trade em for each other.

Don’t get it twisted because of Dallas inept gm’s (and not jsut in basketball)
