Bucks /Denver. Murray+Nnaji for Lillard

[Astaluego]

assuming that Lillard would return completely healthy and that both teams would fail early in the Playoffs... or not meet expectations.

With the premise that the grass always seems greener on the other side of the house

The Bucks get the youngest player, so they could sell Giannis...a longer window of contention.

Denver gets the best player, who on paper fits perfectly alongside Jokic and the greatest flexibility since Dame expires in 2 years and when he ends... they could put together another team to sell Jokic... with greater flexibility and assets by then.

A vet min needs to be sent to a third team so Milwaukee can spend over first apron. But that’s really minor.

I don’t know if Milwaukee feels a need to get younger for Giannis. I would think they should be doing everything to win a title again now instead of retooling.

Giannis and Joker are only three months apart in age, so their windows don’t seem different.. they are the two best players in the league today (or two of top 3-4?) and will likely stay that way for the next 3-4 years..

If Milwaukee does feel desperate to get younger, Murray isn’t a bad option.

To me? I’d look at Murray not being a good enough second option to Joker and probably want to go a different direction.
