Haynes: Giannis, Bucks Meeting Next Week to Discuss the Direction of the Team

Giannis for Brunson

[California Gold]

Giannis to Knicks in the off season

They have less to offer than a chunk of other teams who will also be interested. I'd give them a severely low chance of getting him unless he demands he wants to go there. Even then, I think Milwaukee would demand Brunson just to start the convo.

If Giannis demands the Knicks, they will get KAT+Bridges. Plus whatever fills. If Giannis demands Knicks, he won't accept to go to a depleted roster. I think the FO will consider that.
That's a big "if" though.

Thing is they can just trade him elsewhere even if he threatens he's not gonna re-sign. There's enough teams out there where he will have to "settle" rather than go where he wants similar to what happened with Lillard. Bucks won't get played into taking a bad deal.

As I said on the first page of this thread.

I'm just putting 1 and 1 together.

Giannis leaked out that he only wants Eastern teams, and the Nets and Raptors got mentioned.
Because Giannis wants to live in New York city or state. He has strong interests in that area off court and socially.


Knicks will offer Towns and Anunoby for Giannis and Connaughton or filler. Maybe pick swaps also.
Giannis will demand to go there.

Salaries don’t match up at all, puts the bucks wayyyy past the second apron and further restricts them from doing any other deals
Giannis and kat make 48.7 and 49.2 respectively, OG makes 36 mil, tf?

KAT's contract is a net negative, he's also not young. Bridges is also 28. I don't think the Bucks are going to go anywhere with that team. For that reason I can't see the Bucks just making a move to appease Giannis. If it was maybe a 3 team deal or something which has young players + picks that's more realistic. Either way though, this whole hypothetical would require Giannis to exclusively demand the Knicks which I can't see as ever being reality.

Giannis for Brunson

It’s the funny part about these Giannis deals people won’t even pony up their best player in a fake trade.

[KingDavid]

Giannis is under contract and in his prime. Bucks are going to want a king's ransom for his services if they decide to put him on the block. If you don't have tons of assets or a superstar, it's likely not going to happen. Some team will come out with a huge over that the knicks, heat, & Lakers can't match without giving up their best players at minimum in my opinion. So if Luka, Brunson & kat, Bam, Ware, & Herro (lol) + a lot more aren't in the offer, I just don't see the bucks looking at those teams for trade in my opinion. But crazier things have happened...

[BadWolf]

Would Pels be interested in OG dor.Bucks picks? Or KAT?

[morosis]

just curious - it seems like the bucks fans here are saying they would like a superstar back for giannis if he asks to leave, but that has me confused. even if you get a superstar in return, unless that guy is sga or joker isn't it still a downgrade? and even if you get a superstar in return, is there a path to contend? again i dont want to dump on the team too much and i apologize if it comes across that way but to me it just feels like everyone from the championship winning team has either aged out or been traded already and what's left is not that competitive other than giannis himself.

to reiterate - i very much want giannis to stay in MIL. but in the hypothetical where he leaves, i think MIL ideally does a factory reset, loads up on picks and young players, and becomes competitive again that way. its very hard for me to see a path back to being a contender just with a giannis for single superstar (or even 2 guys) trade.

i guess i'm saying this because i've seen a lot of MIL fans in this thread saying they want the trading team's best pieces (current players) in a trade. i get that from a value perspective. But I think the path that gets MIL back into contention the fastest would be to trade him for young players and a crap ton of draft picks, not established players who will probably age out in the ~5 years a rebuild would take.

tl;dr - if giannis leaves, wouldnt you want to have the team be bad to be better again later? i think we've seen a ton of evidence that rebuilding while staying middle of the road competitive doesnt really work unless you are the spurs and win the lottery every time its convenient xD.

Giannis for Barnes plus some more youth and picks would make a decent trade. Milwaukee would get young and Giannis would get to stay in the east

Giannis will demand to go there.

When did Giannis say he wants to live in New York?

I read that a state that offers no tax income tax intrigues him. Which is why San Antoino, Houston, and Dallas lead in odds to acquire Giannis.

These odds are from May 13th.

First regular-season minute played to be for which NBA team?

Bucks: -145 (bet $10 to win $16.90 total)
Spurs: +400 (bet $10 to win $50 total)
Rockets: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total)
Mavericks: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)
Heat: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)
Lakers: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)

Sure it's a bad deal.
Bridges probably never makes an All-Star team and KAT needs to be motivated anytime he's on the court.

Raptors giving up Barnes would be a curve ball for sure. But if Raptors get desperate to be in the playoffs, Bucks would take that.

[pipfan]

I think the deal with Tor is Barnes/Dick/Agbaji/#9/2027/2029 1sts for Giannis

Tor goes with IQ/Barrett/BI/Giannis/Poeltl-will badly need to build a bench

Milw rebuilds around Barnes-MAYBE they can send the #9 to NO for their 2 picks back?

[NotAKnicksFan]

I dont think giannis demands a trade to a specific team but might give 3-4 teams he would report to and resign with . Thats simply how it goes in this business and it takes 2 to tango . More than likely its a 3 team trade

Thats if giannis is content with being traded and wants out behind the scenes

It's on social media. Never a direct quote but insinuation that Giannis aims to be at New York vicinity such as Toronto, New Jersey and New York city and preference to stay East.
