ATL - Embiid Out for the Season

[JayMKE]

I of course don’t do it but if you were ever going to move Giannis you’re not getting a better player than Luka, him alone blows OKC or Utah poo poo platter of middling picks & future role players out of the water.

[GoldenAntlers]

For the conspiracy theorists: what’s the quid pro quo for Dallas here? If silver has pulled the strings on this one, what has promised Dallas in return?

Future draft lottery victories.

Would've traded Giannis for Luka

Or tons of money

Giannis on the Mavs would have been something.

Kyrie, Klay, PJ, Giannis, Gafford

Yeah, if this was truly about winning immediately and needing a two way PF, then they should have offered the Bucks Luka, Lively, Mavs 25 1st, and Mavs 31 1st for Giannis and filler.

And there is the Bucks reset. You could then have moved Dame, Brook, Mids, and Portis and have an instant contender.

Would've traded Giannis for Luka

Giannis is better than Luka but they’re damn close and Luka is younger. I would’ve done that.

Yessir! Love Giannis but I want to watch Bucks make deep playoff runs in 2030

[mlloyd10]

Luka was going to eat/drink himself out of the league before this trade

Giannis is better than Luka but they’re damn close and Luka is younger. I would’ve done that.

In 5 years, Giannis will still be better than Luka.

Maybe you're right. But Giannis will be pretty old at that point while Luka should have some great years in his 30s. It's tough with the loyalty to Giannis involved and acknowledging Giannis is better, but I still think I'd do it. It's a good question

[VooDoo7]

Now Dallas fans know how we felt when we traded Tobias.

Hey mate. Our old friend David Dunn wishes you all the best.

Oh dang, tell him I appreciate that! How's he doing with these Middleton rumors??

[tonyreyes123]

If we had any semblance of assets I’d say buy low on Zion

Luka bounces from here in 18 months. Don't underestimate the value of having a player as good as Giannis willing to stay here for the bulk of his career, if not all of it.

[MikeIsGood]

So things are going about as expected in Dallas.

[MiltownMadness]

Giannis is better than Luka but they’re damn close and Luka is younger. I would’ve done that.

Well let's assume Luka stays until retirement, both would in this case either way. Would you do it?

And if we are lucky enough to draft another star over the next 20+ years they will remember what we did to Giannis and leave ASAP

I don't think a toddler rn would care that we traded Giannis for Luka, it would be a justifiable decision at the very least.

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

The new owners must’ve really had issues with Luka. That trade cost him 116m in potential earnings on his next contract, that’s diabolical stuff.

~$45m*

Giannis is better than Luka but they’re damn close and Luka is younger. I would’ve done that.

Yes, very close. Unless you think rebounding, playing defense and being continually double teamed are important.

This doesn't really hit for me when Luka brought his team to the finals at 25 in the West last year. Luka is great in different ways than Giannis, and that's okay
