I love watching Minnesota. Really over the past 2 years. Such a well built and versatile team. Allows their star to okay off ball or pick his spots on ball.

One thing they could use is upgrading Conley at this stage, but they even have a youngster in place for that. Also have a lot of money wrapped up in Rudy

On the other end, I enjoy watching the Lakers. Luka is always fun to watch. The team is versatile, playing without traditional point guards and relying on two point forwards. They’re moving toward a positionless style, and if they had someone like Mark Williams at center, they’d be well-equipped to make a serious push.

Damn I feel for Lillard. He's been a great player in this league. Gonna be tough to come back from this at his age. Milwaukee is done and Giannis might be on the move. Always liked Milwaukee, but it's time to rebuild in Brew town.

I can't believe the Bucks traded for this loser Kuzma. Their front office is brain dead.

Tony Parker might be the most underrated player in league history.

Milwaukee doesn't have control of their own picks for like the next 5 years. So they can't do a conventional rebuild.

I imagine Giannis would call for the most expensive trade in NBA history, so they’ll get picks. Unless you mean a conventional rebuild WITH Giannis, then I agree.

Give them all our picks. Except this year if it’s Flagg or Harper.

Conventional rebuild meaning tanking and rebuilding through the draft with their own picks. They can’t do that. They can’t even trade for their own picks back because they’ve become convoluted in other trades.

I’m also curious if Milwaukee would trade him if he doesn’t ask out? If he does ask out, does he have a list? And what teams are on it?

Im sure Miami is in it. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Brooklyn is also in it.

I could low-key see NO being an option for Zion + their pick swaps back and some additional picks. Everything is in flux there so Giannis can hand pick a coach he likes, they have some space, so they can be active in FA. They have Herb and Trey locked up on decent deals. McCollum is a Giannis type guard even though he’s over the hill. Would be huge for his legacy to bring a championship to the Hornets who have never won one.

Bucks get Zion as an MVP upside reclamation project while restocking the draft asset cabinet.

Or Giannis can just go to OKC and win 5+ championships with them. They have the picks alone to be the most competitive team in trade scenarios.

All series long, the warriors were just giving up floaters for the Rox. Sengun shots below 70% in the paint and only 42% on 3-10ft.
