a first step in creating a package for Giannis....just put a pin on it.

If the Warriors were to use the TPE in setting up the trade they would need to first acquire a player....then after a bit of time they could then combine that player with other assets plus future picks for Giannis. Just getting on the record in case it happens

THIS except this may be the last step
not sure about giannis but between now and the deadline, oubre & wiseman + minnesota pick is the best package any team can offer for a star that wants to leave. those stars may be :
giannis (prob not but bogdan just opted out and they're capped out)
harden (vomit in mouth)
beal (hmm)
embiid/simmons
devin booker (let's see how he and chris paul get along)
who am i missing?
we'll also be able to resign oubre and add to our suddenly growing young core (oubre, wiseman, wiggins, paschal). if oubre plays well and signs a reasonable deal (considering BPI and other problems that may arise, we'll see if he gets >$20m) he'll be a great asset for years. this really makes up for not getting josh richardson last night for fducking free. we still should have bought all those high 2nd round picks that were sold but this is a nice move. if we get bradley for the MLE to play a solid bench role... WE'RE BAACK!
