We build the team from the ground up. Bud may hate it the first year but would be a breath of fresh air for us fans!!!
Doncic and Bamba/Bridges along with Giannis is a way to start a franchise off right.
I agree but how on earth would we land TWO top 10 picks?
Well our value comes at #17, Bledsoe, Brogdon, Midds and to some extent Maker and Wilson.
I think it can be done with 2 packages of those players and pick.
#17 and Bledsoe could fetch you like a 7-10
Midds, Brogdon and Wilson could fetch you a 4-7
Memphis wants to dump Parsons and compete. Small hope Cleveland could panic.
Bledsoe/Wilson/17 for Hill/8 (Bridges)
Middleton/Henson/Thon for Parsons/4 (Bamba)
Bucks would never have the balls to do the right thing and play the long game though.
Hill
Brogdon
Bridges
Giannis
Bamba
Fortify your bench with Jabari or whatever Jabari brings back in a sign/trade.
ETA: Almost all bad money comes off the books just in time to entice a big FA to come play with that core and Giannis.
In my eyes it's somewhat risky but a better idea than overpaying Middleton and/or Bledsoe and watching Giannis leave after a few 4/5 seed seasons.
