Powell, Bogdanovic, Jones + Future Picks would work. Or Zubac, Powell, Bogdanovic?


You say " future picks" like they have any future picks

Giannis

Two top five players plus an up and coming top twenty-ish player with great role players.

Dynasty.


Honestly if Giannis wants to stay in Milwaukee, then the Bucks have every reason to play hard to get. That will automatically increase the selling price if there are teams out there willing to Godfather the Bucks for Giannis

That’s if this was 2k. The reality is that a guy like Giannis wanting to stay in Milwaukee for life is so astronomically rare that you can’t put a price on trading him

Lakers. With their proven track record, being the greatest franchise in the NBA, and always in the spotlight, is what will attract Giannis. The details can be worked out.

There’s no way of knowing until we get Giannis’ list of teams. Superstars are almost never traded to the team that has the most assets, it usually turns into which of his handful of preferred teams has the best assets. Teams almost never trade superstars to random teams they don’t want to go to even if they have years left on their contract.

If Giannis makes known he’s not really interested in Houston or OKC, in all likelihood he is not going to Houston or OKC.

I still don't think it makes much sense for the Bucks to trade Giannis. Trading him almost certainly means they are rebuilding and they don't control their own picks until like 2030 or 2031. They also don't have a simple path to get those picks back. Assuming Giannis does not want out and it does not seem like he does, then they are better off making whatever tweaks they can to the roster and hope for some luck in the playoffs. As long as they have
a healthy Giannis they are at worst a play-in team each year.

I would replace JDub in that trade with Chet.
