At some point Giannis is going to have to transition into being a 5. I’m sure he’s not going to like it but it makes him infinitely easier to build around

If there is a trade feels like OG, Mitch and whatever other parts needed, picks etc

KAT/Huk
Giannis/Yabu
Bridges/Hart
Deuce/Clarkson
Brunson/Brogdan


Yeah I don't think it's a good idea to trade away another of his Nova buddy... so Josh and Mikal are off limits. KAT is also off limits we need his shooting...

I think definitely Mitch + OG, then maybe Deuce + Yabu for Giannis + DiVo (Portis to a 3rd team, e.g. Lakers who send Gabe Vincent to Minny) :droop:

Didn’t they just sign Turner to a big contract? I doubt they have interest in extending Robinson. Besides OG who is awesome, there is little value there. Now I would be ok with that deal even though I would prefer to move Bridges instead of OG but for Milwaukee I would assume they would want more

I find it hilarious that people think there is any chance Giannis will be traded.

I doubt what I proposed gets the deal done, just that it’s the deal that leaves the Knicks good afterwards

I was thinking Bucks flip Mitch to a contender for a pick but that’s less easy than it used to be

Mikal instead of OG would be interesting. Knicks maintain more defense

These are pretend scenarios don’t see a deal happening where Bucks get enough but Knicks don’t gut depth

He’s gonna play the 4. KAT at the 5. We’ll unfortunately have to part with Mitch, Josh and filler.

Win it all this year or be ready for change next year. That’s the message. :D


Ok I think I can live with that.

I don't think Milwaukee is getting more than KAT and future firsts. I'm not ripping apart the team as constructed, and apparently neither is Leon.

He must be willing to play center if he wants to be here

If we can have a core of Brunson OG and Giannis then I would be really happy.

Yep and if he continues look like the odd man out under Mike brown it’s really a no brainer
Mitch and Giannis is a teerible fit. Might be Mitch and OG.

Yea that makes the most sense. We’re not gunna have to give up a kings ransom if we’re the only team he wants to play for… fair deals don’t exist in those cases. They’re bout to get bent over a barrel :nod:
The Nova crew aint breakin up before Brunson signs an extension.
