Source on these offers you want people to vote on? Not sure I understand the point of this thread exactly. Help me out?

Some (all) of those are not reported offers, just fan/media speculation.
That said, with what’s on the table there getting their swaps back with Portland has to be pretty alluring, and 8th pick plus from Atlanta.

Offers floating around on Twitter, along with reporting by Stein, Fischer, etc...

Maybe the offers aren't 100% this but these are the best speculated offers to this point.

Amick, Stein, etc

?s=46

?s=46

?s=46

not that scaredy cat Jeff Peterson would offer this, or that Giannis would come here....

but I wouldn't trade pick #14 this year, pick #18 this year, 2027 DAL 1st, 2027 MIA 1st, 2027 CHA 1st, 2029 CLE/MIN/UTA 1st, Bridges, Green, Salaun, Mann (all exps) for any of the OP's trade packages but I would for Giannis.

just saying

One thing to consider is that the Heat just flat out don't give a **** about any of those reported names being in trade rumors. Herro's relationship with the team has been so hot and cold anyway. None of those young guys have the clout to seriously get miffed at being in Giannis talks. The other teams though... BOS has to be delicate about how they let Brown's name hang out there. MIN doesn't want to start damaging their relationships with McDaniels/Reid. It makes sense that BOS and MIN would more "suddenly" enter into trade talks at the last minute with their actual offer. They have to be able to stay cool with those players if the deal doesn't happen, whereas MIA doesn't really need to worry about that. So it makes sense that MIA's reported offers are way more firm than anyone else.

ORL was in last year and, no doubt, still sniffing around, especially with Sweeney in-house now...rumor was that Weltman didn't want to include Paolo Banchero or Franz Wagner (which is kind of silly to believe, but...). Weltman never leaks anything and I wouldn't be surprised if...

Weltman comes back to the table...
ORL sends: Paolo Banchero, Anthony Black & Goga to MIL...grudgingly add a 2032 unprotected frp (post-Giannis)

Turner, Goga, Sims
Banchero, Portis
Kuzma, Prince
Black, AJ Green, Trent
Rollins, Mikel Brown(#10), KPJ.......they might be in the playoffs next year and have appx $50+m in expirings (not counting AB, who will get paid)

I'd do it and get excited for ORL...but they don't need to add the pick, imo. For the fans of MIL, do you really want to sit through a rebuild with a pile of picks that don't even show up until '28? This IS still a business, especially in a smaller media market...you still have to sell tickets and jerseys and beers. I'd hate to see my team send out a legend for a bunch of our own picks back and nothing to show for it for a few years of just awful basketball and, with the anti-tanking stuff in place, you're far from guaranteed any breaks. Paolo is a guy they could build around and Turner is another nice building block...they could start rolling over older guys year by year, but some of the existing ones would fit (Portis, Grant, Harris, Prince are all 3&(some)D types on a budget...I'm not even endorsing this on behalf of ORL, I just think MIL shouldn't choose to sit out for the next 5+ years if they can bring in a big name with some national relevance right away.

I mean, in that same article that the Wolves "offer" comes from it states that the team made McDaniels/Beringer off limits. And they don't give any indication that the Wolves are currently interested/engaged with Milwaukee. Just peak NBA journalism.

If Orlando is offering Paolo, Black and a distant first I don’t think there’s anything catching that (I don’t think all of the offers in the OP would actually be made IRL)

I’m not a believer in Paolo. But it gives the team hope.

Turner/Paolo/Black/Rollins with one of Ament/Burries is a team their fans can cheer for over next few years. Maybe Paolo takes the step. Maybe Black and Rollins build off their development last season.

I’ve been in Brooklyn should be the favorite, but do they really owed 5 firsts on top of 6th?! Seems idealistic, without mentioning asking for the future picks with actual variance instead of 2027..

How about a trade where the Clippers get Giannis, the Warriors get Kawhi and the Bucks get Butler + Podz + Christie + 2026 #5 + 2026 #11 + 2029 INDY pick? Giannis would be great with Garland, Curry and Kawhi (plus LBJ) is a money magnet, and the Bucks get two 2026 picks plus useful assets.

I like it so much better for LAC if they match without Leonard, add the other 2029 first, and actually look like a contender versus just a good team..

I think that’s an okay price for Giannis personally.

Nets is the best offer there IMO.

Would also explain their interest in Reaves.

I don't think it will end up mattering. Wolves have the worst package among these and that includes "off limits" McDaniels.

I have all the offers bordering on around 6 firsts in value.

I would probably take Offer #5 where you get Risacher, Newell, #8 and Milwaukee/Pelicans pick next years draft. Plus the stuff from Boston.
or the Miami offer.

Don't deal for distant firsts from teams that can reliably turn their distant firsts, and not much else, into star players.

If I'm free to choose as the Bucks I would just place far move value on mid/high lotto picks right now and picks from hapless teams than on far future Heat picks. They'll just do this again in 2030 and those picks will be mediocre.

Other than that, with the new rules, you just want a lot of bites at the apple. Any rando play-in team's pick could get you the #1 pick. Getting your own picks back is a lot less valuable, since all teams not in the playoffs are basically equal.

Sharpe
Giannis
MPJ
Reeves
Demin

Both sides probably better off if Nets keep Claxton (overpaid in my eyes) and trade MPJ but to each their own.

Some of these offers aren't real...
Nets is the best offer, but I don't think that's their offer.
Heat is the only reported offer and it shows how way the valuations on Giannis were.

Nets probably trying to pull off KD/Irving v2 with Giannis/Reaves. Would be exciting if that happens. Giannis/MPJ/Reaves is a solid top 3

I don't think Minnesota or Miami would trade their packages for this either
