Saw that just now over at Clutch City forum. Sengun, Tari and whatever pick (singular) the Bucks would want. lol.

I'm sure they'd throw in Green for the trifecta of disappointing contributors.

Durant to Houston seems like the play for them. Will cost 1/3rd of what Giannis would cost. And gives them scoring.

Jalen Green for Khris Middleton and AJ Johnson would be a funny trade.

Yeah i agree. They grabbed those phoenix picks for a reason. Come to think of it, its the entire reason Ishbia was talking about having the right roster to win but needing to get the coach right. Its a bluff. Its him saying they are willing to keep trying for the playoffs thus diminishing the value of the Phoenix firsts owned by Houston.

KD solves their biggest issues on the court. Dont know if he raises the ceiling quite enough but they could believe it does.

Most of those guys dont seem to watch much Giannis or Bucks. If he does get traded, the most annoying thing is going to be the same thing that happened after Jrue got to a higher profile situation. People are going to rave about all the things we've grown accustomed to and were not appreciated while he was a buck.

The toppers tier assets right now don’t seem that top tier

MVP Giannis & playoff Jimmy working together would have given the east nightmares. Imagine the Pacers trying to talk their **** to Jimmy. Jimmy is also like a coach on the floor and he would have fired up guys like Bobby and KPJ. Jimmy's competitive fire is contagious.

I tried like hell before the deadline to speak Jimmy to the Bucks into existence lol. Still incredibly frustrating to me that we didn't acquire him.

After what the Bucks pulled with Dame there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell of Miami sending Jimmy to Milwaukee.

What did they do with Dame? Gave a bigger offer for a guy who ended up not being worth it? I guess I don't understand how that is different than a lot of high profile trades

Yeah it was a pretty brutal watch. Maybe he wanted to, and you still got some of the Pop charm, but I don't know why they went forward with that.

Cavs went from 48 to 64 wins. Impressive. Last year they got bounced in round 2. They need to beat the Pacers or else this season was a bust (I think they do beat the Pacers)

One good thing about Boston playing New York is that Boston won't get the massive 8 on 5 advantage like they usually do.

The fact that it's New York the league will probably call it fair, or at least I'm assuming they will.

That said, even if it's officiated fairly, I'd be surprised if NY wins more than 1 game in this series.

Because you have to introduce the new coach, who also was part of the press conference.

You don't have to have the guy who went through what he did sit up there for 10 minutes. Maybe I'm just sad because of what I remember of Pop in the past, and you got glimpses of it through where he is now, but it was rough.
