Unless Giannis wants out I wouldn't even take every single pick the thunder own for him

let the man retire here after chasing the 6 seed for the next 8 years if he wants to

Id rather Giannis finish his career out like Dirk than go into the wilderness for the rest of the decade, team can reload if they have the balls. Giannis just doesn't want to tank, I don't think he'll demand out if we're trying to build towards being competitive.

I'd be shocked if Giannis was ok with our current growth trajectory.

Him, his family and his agent in sure have had these discussions. He said last year "I'll be here as long as we're winning". Maaaybe that includes chasing the 6th seed but it definitely doesn't include what's happening right now.

Chasing the play in spot? Hard to imagine things being worse and more hopeless than now. I think the team gets better reloading immediately if its done properly with an identity in mind(DEFENSE) so its just a matter of how far away from that reload puts us from being a contender.

Giannis trade has to have a budding star coming back ala Chet and some decent young role players/potential starters in addition to picks.

The AD trade was budding star (Ingram) + young potential starters Ball and Josh Hart + ton of picks.

Giannis trade would have to be similar.

Bucks don't have any picks and we're not going to get back anything equivalent to how bad this team will be for years, plus look at the track record of our draft picks. Reloading with Giannis is really the only option. Giannis + scrubs is a hell of a lot better than just scrubs.

For us its better. Giannis isnt going to want to stick around if there is a finite ceiling on the team. And personally i dont want to watch him waste away here either. I would much much much rather see him go compete for titles with another team than that.

Yeah...we are going to get outbid for Herb Jones, arent we?

Khris for John Collins (Jazz) straight up
We save 5M trying to get under 2nd appron
We get an athletic big ... Andre Jackson, TP eat all the SF minutes ... Follow up trade Brook or Pat or both, or any other small deal that gets us under the 2nd appron in order to be able to aggregate salaries.

After we get under the 2nd appron ... the follow up trade is the expiring Ben Simmons

Brook + Bobby + Pat + 31 1st for Ben Simmons straight up ... we save additional 5M and we get another defensive mobile big

Chet is not a budding star (neither was Ingram tbf) and Giannis >> AD.

OKC just isn’t on tv enough. Chet is indeed a budding star. He is incredibly good at blocking shots and he is scoring from everywhere on the floor. He’s one of the most skilled players in the league right now, but he’s on a team that does a very good job of spreading shots around.

We really need to trade straight up one for one for contracts that are 5M less ... in order to be legal and dump salaries while trading one for one.

Completely agree.

Also, ideally in this scenario Horst is no longer here to completely **** up our draft picks. It's a clean slate at this point. New FO, New coach, new team.

If it's between 10 DJ Wilson's and 1 Giannis... I'm going Giannis

NBA Rumors: Latest on Doc Rivers' Job Status Amid Giannis Trade Buzz, Bucks Struggles

https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10143173-nba-rumors-latest-on-doc-rivers-job-status-amid-giannis-trade-buzz-bucks-struggles.amp.html

The Milwaukee Bucks might make some minor moves ahead of the NBA trade deadline in February, but drastic changes might not be coming this season.

According to The Athletic's Sam Amick and Eric Nehm, it's unlikely the Bucks will part ways with head coach Doc Rivers this season amid a sluggish start to the season.

"For those asking about whether Rivers could be on the hot seat, let's not forget the Bucks paid him approximately $40 million on a three-and-a-half-year deal less than a year ago," Amick and Nehmn wrote. "What's more, (Jon) Horst is facing pressure because of how these past few seasons have gone, and league sources are skeptical he'd be given the leeway to make another coaching change this soon."

I believe it's Ceruti (his surname)

I assume if Giannis wants to leave he will go where he wants to go but I don't mind trading him to a team that can get us draft picks back. Think it's our best way out of being a dumpster fire for the next decade. I think we're going to need to hire a very smart GM for us to not be that anyway.

This team is going to suck for a very long time post Giannis no matter what picks they get back.

Tanking isn't an option so they won't have those lottery tickets and whatever picks they got in a trade are going to be low value.

Untill he requests a trade I'd rather watch him chase the 6 seed and hope to dear God they hit the lottery on a late round draft pick then the dumpster fire with no hope that will be after he leaves

I got to see this team win a championship. Im good

If we’re being fair, Giannis isn’t >> AD
