Porzingis, Dyson, and Trae will need extentions. Do you see that happening with what Giannis makes?

Hawks could field a championship level front court, but would lack depth on the wings and in the back court.
Spoiler:
Atlanta's rotation this season would look like:


C: Okongwu
PF: Giannis

Is GA deliberately trying to sabotage the Bucks? Geez...

If nothing else, it does help our draft pick odds.

I believe he's keeping his options open. Let's face it, the Bucks ownership/gm need to do their part, and add more talent.

Giannis Antetokounmpo posted 40 points (14-of-20 FGs, 11-of-16 FTs), 14 rebounds, nine assists, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in Sunday’s loss to the Cavaliers.

My response to all Giannis trade ideas is f××k outta here. Not interested.

Here's the only deal I would entertain
Jalen Johnson as the centerpiece going back home
KP and Luke expiring contracts
2027 1st (MIL/NO)
2029 1st
2031 1st

For
Giannis
Myles Turner contract
Greek Freak big bro

No to 2026 1st (NO/MIL)
No to Risacher
No to Daniels
No to the good cheap contracts like Gueye, OO, NAW, and Vit
No to Asa

Our goal is to win titles. Can't do it with anyone from above missing. OKC is the comp and that's the team we must beat.

Please go to San Antonio. They will tell you no Harper, no Wemby and give you some bull picks and Castle.

No one got anywhere near as much as us so don't come to us wanting a grape package. F××k off, we aren't in business to rebuild the Milwaukee Bucks.

Ya'll lost ya'll damn minds with some of these posts. You want to trade a top 20 player that's the best player rumored in all of these deals on a great contract, a potential 1st overall pick in an insanely top tier draft, and an impact player who's fits like a glove and is in his 2nd year who's 20 for a 31 year old who isn’t prime LeBron James. Ya'll lost y'all damn minds.

No one is offering anywhere close to even a good Hawks offer which is what I posted, not a freaking grape package. I don't even want Giannis period. The trades you guys posted has completely turned me off of Giannis. Please trade him to San Antonio for Castle and some late 1sts.

No to Giannis.

JJ is off the table. MIL would be lucky to get draft picks for GA. Bucks should have traded Giannis 2 years ago when his stock was high.

Luka gets traded for Crunch N' Munch and dumbasses like, Hawks, trade the entire farm for a fxxking 31 year old with bum ankles who wants to leave the franchise who buried their future for him and you want a franchise who haven't had any championship success to sell everything for a f××king minimal chance at a title. Fxxk you!

When it comes to the Hawks. It's always ridiculous. Hey man, trade your top 25 player. Trade the best pick and in the best top 5 since 84. On top of that, add that impact 20 year old you got, you don't need to win ****. Just get Giannis, stupid ass Hawks. That's what you do stupid ass Hawks. It's fxxking disgusting!

The Luka trade is basically the type of deal I am interested in. Not interested in trading premium picks. You want 1 unprotected 1st, sure. You can get 2028 1st

2026 and 2027 1st (MIL/NO) are a HELL NO!

OKC got a bunch of picks, go trade with them. Presti knows it's buying at the peak whereas your selling at the low. He won't do that. He showed with the PG13 trade he gets it.

As much as I don't like Spurs fans for wishing us bad. I respect they understand this ****. They automatically know Dylan Harper is a hell no. That's a premium asset. You don't get a premium asset that hasn't enter their prime for a 30+ player. That's bad business.

Although i agree what you are saying. The Hawks have zero history of trading for old star players.

I remember when Shaq wanted out of LA and i heard Atlanta, Dallas, and Miami were on his short list of teams he wanted to go to. I was screaming that the Hawks should find a way to make a trade but they were too scared to do so.

The only problem for the Hawks is that they don't draft well. Passing on Karl Malone, Mark Price, Sprewell, Iggy, Rashard Lewis, Lou Williams, Tony Parker, CP3, Luka, etc.

Drafting well is a lot easier when choices are obvious. It's hard to draft well when the choices are difficult.

In a top 5 that's as obvious as it is this year, I am fine with Onsi Drafting.

All we all have to do is look at the last 20 superstars traded. The only one that won **** was Toronto in the rental for Kawhi. All it costed them was DeRozan, Poeltl who's back in Toronto, and Keldon Johnson. The reverse happened with OKC trading their top 15 superstar for a top 50 raising star named SGA and that trade ended up disastrous as SGA also won ****.

No one else won ****. Luka draft was horrendous at the time and has proven to be horrible moving forward so that was a clear win for LA and the NBA.

Trading for a superstar has to be a reasonable cost. If its not, don't do it. Let an idiot team who's a horrendous organization do it. The Nets are one of the stupid franchises, let them do it.

I wasn't born in the 80s but Karl Malone said that he was promised and thought he was going to be drafted by the Hawks

My uncle said that he really wanted the Hawks to draft Mark Price and was upset when it didn't happen.

I remember watching SEC basketball in the 90s and seeing Horry and Sprewell and i really wanted Sprewell and Horry was also on my radar.

I remember really wanting Rashard and Lou Williams, because all the high school picks at that time were just clicking

I remember watching Iggy and thinking how he looks just like Sprewell and getting so Fing upset when they drafted Childress (also passed on Deng)

and then we all know the CP3 story and Luka story.

Hawks always like passing on the no brainer picks and drafting the guy with the worst skill sets and worst stats.

The Hawks have a bad history of doing a lot of things. This has been a bad franchise who do anything for playoff money.

I just don't believe the history plays into each GM. We have had GMs who hated the draft like Babcock. We had Sund for a short period who did well with trades. I can't whole Onsi to what GMs before him have done.

This question is the end to all doubt. When is the last time, the hawks had all of the chess pieces on the board?

The team can't afford to unload everything for Giannis. I can just imagine us trading a ton of picks and players, him leaving after a year and a half and us being stuck at the bottom of the standings with no picks for half a deacde.
