I actually think the Bucks will accommodate Giannis, wherever his desired destination is - but they will bleed that team dry. At least three picks, and probably two attractive young assets + additional comp.

Heat not beating a Spurs offer, if they really go after him...

Giannis..... Bucks will get better deals unless Heat offer something including Bam.

Chris Paul... no thanks. Heat need a big other than Bam and Ware. Although I guess if roster was gutted for Giannis then Paul would potentially make

It all depends on what Paul wants but I would love to have him here to help coach up our guards. SGA has credited Paul for helping his game expand and make the game easier for him. Just imagine what Paul could do for Herro, Powell and Mitchell. This is a low cost (heck even hire him as a coach if he is done with playing) high reward move.

What assets do the Spurs have better than Ware AMD Jaquez?

They’re not trading Castle or Harper, Bucks wont want Fox, I mean they have picks but is our offer of Herro, Ware, Jaquez, Kasparas and 2/3 picks that much of a drop from theirs?

Do you mean what he could do on the court or what he could do from a teaching (coaching) perspective? As you mentioned, I could see the teaching. But, I don't see how he'd help in a game at this point.

Spurs have the cap fillers, picks, and prospects. They definitively add Harper or castle if they want giannis. And one of those two alone trumps anything the heat have.

They're not trading Castle or Harper, but Heat are trading everything they've got?

Of course they are if they want giannis.

Its wilder to me that people think that guys like herro and ware are untouchable for giannis. This is a top 5 player mvp candidate we are talking about.

If the bucks want herro and ware in the giannis package, you say yes and thank you.

If SA is highly motivated to trade for Giannis, the only thing that would prevent that trade from happening is if Giannis tells Mil not to trade him there and they honor his request.

Again, Wemby n Fox gonna be blowing up his phone and SA almost certainly would surrender one of Harper or Castle if it meant getting a guy who legitimately allows them to compete against OKC for the next 5 years for championships

The type of players giannis prefers in an interview from Europe 2 months ago.

Anyway, whoever has the best year will be the best player. My preference is two-way players.


Its why I think a guy like bam is who giannis would like to play with. He saw first hand what happens with one players on the squad. I think it's a big part of the reason they went after turner; a "kinda" 2 way player if im being generous.

Let’s not forget there’s a huge Greek community in SoFL.

Sit him out until he’s traded to us

If that's an Achilles...

But if the package is still around herro and ware, I'd do it.

But if only powell would give a little on his extension and wiggins opts in (if he isn't traded).

Go all in next year. Fix the finances and then jovic becomes easier to trade for depth pieces. And more time to attract vet min guys who are ring chasing.

If you could build a team to compete with okc in a 7 game series, this might be it.
