Giannis Trade Watch Heat/Brooklyn possible destinations: Giannis NOT pleased with Bucks Waiving Damian Lillard.

not an option. Besides the sentimental part of not wanting Green to go, Milwaukee ain't tryna max out Kuminga.

Also, hard capping the Warriors with three guys making over $48 mil a year makes it very difficult to field a roster.

Breh you got lakers fans with AI Giannis in a lakers jersey, let a warriors breh dream.

well the Lakers could financially make it work. It would just be a terrible offer built around Reaves.

Bucks hasn’t been the same since they cut some of their players from the championship team and their coach.

this post is kinda trying to make it about the celtics. MIL lost this series

The last time they won a series was against CHI in 2022. Show them, not Boston. This makes no sense

Once Giddey signs, he becomes immovable, especially to a team who would be ready to blow everything up once Giannis goes.


It would have to be like

White, Williams, Huerter and all your firsts and swaps

I think they could sell Giddey depending on how he starts next season. If Chicago makes Matas available in that package things could get interesting



EDIT: I see... You mean Chicago can't trade him after he signs due to the CBA?

Correct, unless you and Milwaukee wanna be hardcapped.

But if you're Milwaukee and your pivot is to start over, why saddle yourself with a fresh new $30 mil a year deal to someone you're not rebuilding with or around?

Best player in the league WASTING his prime years,damn shame

Houston and OKC are the only teams I think can make compelling offers for Giannis.

I'd be shocked if Presti tried a blockbuster but Houston could offer both Phoenix firsts, a couple of their own and Amen Thompson, Jalen Green and another young guy.

Giannis to Memphis or Houston would be interesting

Middleton never regaining form really fuked Giannis. He was a pretty good 2nd option.

 

[murksiderock]

There's an argument that Giannis benefitted from The Pandemic more than anyone, winning that '21 title. He doesn't have a stellar playoff resume, and that championship saves him from being the Harden/Westbrook/Paul of his era...

They lose this series, it will be four straight playoff L's, 1-4 since winning the title....

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

It's wild how Giannis went from being underrated and disrespected, to then winning a title and it basically gave him immunity from all criticism on this board. Out of all the stars over the last few seasons, he's had arguably the least amount of postseason success, yet it hasn't really affected his standing in the game.

Even if/when the Bucks crash out of the playoffs this season, it's not going to affect how everyone sees him already.
