What will Giannis get first - a second DPOY or a second ring?

Hakeem and Kawhi are currently the only two players with multiple FMVPs and multiple DPOYs. While this is pretty much a technicality as I assume players like Bill Russell could've get at least 5 of each, and Kareem would probably get those two DPOYs if they were given in the 70s, I think the next player to join this club is Giannis, which seems like a safe thing to assume.
Question is - do you think he'll get first a second DPOY or a second ring and FMVP?

I would give Giannis something like 60% to win another ring and <50% to win DPOY.

Yeah I'd doubt he gets another DPOY - Dame for Jrue swap definitely lowers their defensive ceiling, and you've got some young talent like Mobley, JJJ, and Wembo who will be in the mix for years to come

I voted for DPOY, he's my choice for this season actually (not over the field, but a close #1). Could reasonably be either. DPOY is probably more within his control.
I'd add Mikan/Wilt as players who'd likely have the double-double if was available when they played. Maybe Mel Daniels in the ABA.
