Why would the Bucks do a deal with the Knicks to be no better than they currently are. Also Bucks can’t aggregate players.
Nets deal makes even less sense the picks they own are not valuable aside from their own which get heavily devalued if Giannis is on the roster. Bucks also won’t take out without their picks for the next 4 years.

Nope. Not even close.
Yes, some posters already seem to have a really solid handle on the new restrictions. But a bunch don't. And we aren't going to ban people for making an honest mistake on that with such major new changes.
You can choose to be like many of our CBA experts and educate them. Or you can not be bothered by our ignorance and just ignore the threads. But I don't see the point as a Mod to punish people for not having the whole new CBA down cold like they are Larry Coon or something lol.
Thanks for your patience. Or if not, should probably find the message board where everyone is the expert you are.

Giannis has said he wants to go to BK or MIA. That is all he has said so far.

Re: Giannis for KAT
The value is pretty awful for the Bucks. How about something around Brunson and Bridges for Giannis? Would have to bring in a third team interested in Dame.

1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I don't think that is any better. Brunson + Towns for Giannis + Lopez feels closer in value, but fit is all wrong.

On the rare occasion I post trades, I'm relying on a trade machine to validate it. I've never had a good handle on the finer points of the CBA, and honestly I have no desire to become an expert. I assumed that's acceptable due diligence? Spotrac's seems more thorough than ESPN's, fwiw.

Re: Giannis for KAT
yeah Laimbeer. You post an idea in good faith, especially after using a checker, you risk no ban lol. I can't promise the checkers won't lead you astray, but intention matters. Don't worry about it.
