Jrue/Bogdan/Middleton/Giannis/Lopez is filthy.

Donte + Ersan + DJ for Bogdan perhaps.

On one hand Jrue/Khris/Giannis is the most talented three players we've ever had at one time on one team I can remember. On the other, if Giannis and Jrue bounce we are so screwed. If we win a chip, screw it, it's like our only chance. But man...I remember how depressing this team was when we were eternally bad-to-mediocre and I just can't fathom being that bad again but with zero draft assets as a silver lining.

Yeah if they did this without the Giannis extension in the bag the organization has lost their minds.

If it then they still overpaid and then kind of have to overpay Holiday again (pulled a Tobias Harris). But as long as the owner will pay the tax it's fine I guess, not my money.

Absolutely NOWAY Bucks do this without knowing both Giannis and Holiday are resigning.

I feel dirty.

- No one here wanted to trade 1 year of Giannis for a bevy of picks
- Now complaining that making Giannis happy for 1 year costs a bevy of picks

That package doesn't get Houston to pick up the phone.

Harden would be less likely to commit to Milwaukee long term too.

If you think Giannis is leaving? Oh yeah, I'm picking up the phone for three firsts and two pick swaps from "Milwaukee"

Yeah that's a lot of value. Needed to take a risk but this could completely destroy the Bucks future. Ship or bust and a big bust at that .

At least Holiday is legit really **** good, dude straight up destroyed Dame Lillard in a series just a couple years ago.

If Giannis leaves this trade is franchise crippling

We need a point guard. Does this deal impact our MLE? I hope this doesn't mean MLE to Rondo.

Not if we've got Harden on the roster. Our floor would only be so low. Plus, Giannis probably doesn't leave with another MVP-level candidate on the roster.

y
Yup

Assuming Giannis signs.. 3 crappy first round picks ain't gonna get it done for 2 years of Harden. Bledsoe is fine, but with 3 years nobody is taking him off your hands for free. So it's basically like 2 late first rounders and we get Giannis.

I don't think this means Giannis is signing anything. It could be the Bucks saying "if Giannis doesn't re-sign we don't need picks because we're screwed anyway".

Supermax will be announced on Wednesday.

Since we could still use one more ball handler we really should go hard after Bogdon, no clue how we could make salaries work with all that but that would be amazing right now
