Think he’ll stay and they’ll retool

Don’t think he’s going anywhere random, which is anywhere but NY

In NY with his results recently they’d be branding him a failure and lost cause fairly or not

Maybe like the Clippers ?

Makes sense if they have picks

What if the Lakers offer Luka for Jalen?

The Heat should have just tanked.They win the play-in tournament to get obliterated by the Cavs.

Why wouldn't the Pelicans or the Memphis Grizzlies cut the Knicks and get Giannis directly from the Bucks in this scenario? They have the assets the Bucks want. We don't. They should rather get Giannis than KAT or Mikal.

The whole premise is that he wants to go to NY (us or Nets) so other teams can want him, but it would just cause them problems.

I would do it

Luka is about 3 years younger and 4 to 5 inches taller than Jalen.

It was important for the Heat to make the playoffs as it fulfills their draft obligation to OKC. If not, Thunder would have had Miami’s 2026 pick unprotected.

The Cavs are pulling a Cobra Kai and showing no mercy!

knicks94 · Post #1116 » by **knicks94** » Tue Apr 29, 2025 1:26 am

Don't know if the Cavs have enough to beat the Celtics and OKC.

With what assets?!

How would the Nets or Thunder not have a better offer for Giannis?
