If the Wizards don't offer Flagg, I think it's a real short conversation. Also, that Wizards team will have some of the worst spacing in the league.

Very short on value. Needs at least 2 more 1sts plus Sarr, I think, to be respectable.

Not even in the realm of close enough for Antetokounmpo.

What kind of offer is this for Giannis? If the Wizards were to offer this package to the Bucks, that conversation would end as soon as it starts. The Bucks staying medicore with a increasingly unhappy Giannis would be a much better option than settling for this package.

I bet the Bucks fans would be really excited... having two pics from a team with Cooper Flagg and Giannis and basically nothing else to build a team around Jordan Pole until they finally have their own pics and can START a real rebuild 7 years from now... and those would be long brutal depressing hopeless seasons

Yeah, the team that lands Flagg may be able to trade for Giannis. With Flagg.

This is about 1/3 of the necessary value.

To be fair to the OP, I did not see this offer coming.

Was surprised too. Thought it would be built around #1 or Sarr.

I don't love this return for Milwaukee.

Maybe if Washington added Slava Medvedenko that would close the deal.

So the Bucks take on a very similar situation to the one the Wizards had this time last year- except worse because they don't control all of their draft capital.

Heck, Kyle Kuzma and all.

This is a steamy pile of dog crap for Giannis, probably every team in the league beats this.

I thought I would see a Flagg for Giannis deal.
That would be realisticish
This is not enough I don’t think.

Nobody wants to trade their best assets. I get it. So just don't make an offer.

Giannis isn't going to have WSH on his list, anyway.

Those picks would be non-lottery picks, since that Wizards team makes the playoffs.

Not NEARLY enough for a guy as good as Giannis.

MIL would be better off letting Giannis walk than making this trade.
