If it's straight up and a couple picks, then yes.
If it's Scottie, another prospect and a bunch of picks...no.

Re: Hypothetical: Giannis for Scottie
Scottie + filler +picks.
Trade couldn't be done till January at the earliest. At that point the lottery may be unavoidable. If we could keep this year's pick (lottery) and gain Giannis while keeping the rest of the core I'd be in.
Having the indy pick next year as well makes things a bit easier. We'd be able to front-load the picks and give them three over the next three years.

Re: Hypothetical: Giannis for Scottie
I'm not sure I do. Giannis is old, and I'm pretty confident his game will not age gracefully.
I also don't think trading for him makes us an instant contender, like trading for Kawhi did. Our team just isn't at that level yet, and I'm not sure we'd be able to get it to that level fast enough to capitalize on the few prime years of Giannis we'd have.
