Haynes: Giannis, Bucks Meeting Next Week to Discuss the Direction of the Team

[azcatz11]

The Pacers and Cavs need to pursue Giannis. While he can be the missing piece for every team, he can make the Cavs, and Pacers legit Champions.

Hali amd Giannis

Giannis with Mobley works

Knicks can offer more and he’d be in New York..:

I would take Cleveland's potential offers over the Knicks. Pacers and Knicks realistically have no chance IMO.

Reckon if Giannis was leaving, it would have been announced by now
Kevin Durant will be the biggest name moving this off season.

Cavs will be in 2nd apron and cannot aggregate contracts to make a deal. It's literally impossible for them to acquire Giannis without a ton of cap maneuvering to get under the 2nd apron.

KAT+Bridges isn't a bad deal.
PS. I don't think any team will trade for him if he doesn't want to re-sign.

Sure it's a bad deal.
Bridges probably never makes an All-Star team and KAT needs to be motivated anytime he's on the court.

It isn't a bad deal.
Bridges is on a great contract and he can be flipped for even more value later on.
KAT is an All NBA player who can also be flipped elsewhere and bring back picks and value.

We're talking about Giannis here. Milwaukee isn't going to just take guys they can flip later. This is their chance at rebuilding their franchise. Like I said, short of exclusively demanding NY, and even then I'd imagine Milwaukee would force the hand a bit to get a 3rd team involved to get picks, young players.

They don't benefit from tread milling with KAT or Bridges and their future value is not guaranteed.

Bucks don't want anything to do with Bridges and that albatross of a contract

[HabenKG]

As a knick fan, I don't see us getting Giannis at all. We don't have the assists that will allow the Bucks to rebuild.

The various trade machines think Mobley and Garland for Giannis and Pat works financially at least.

Still hoping Giannis just stays personally though.

I still don't see how anyone beats the Lakers offer of Reaves + Knecht.

I mean I would love Giannis, but don't Hou and SA have a ton of picks and young assets?

OKC also has a ton of 1sts and young guys. But if they win it all, may not be worth experimenting too much

We could offer Reaves, Knecht, Rui, 2031 1st, swaps, and contracts. I don't see what the Bucks do with this team, need a 3rd team

Say Giannis wants the Knicks. The Lakers package to the Bucks, Giannis to the Knicks and Towns + OG to the Lakers.

We cant take in that much salary, thats 92m or something

I would love OG though

I don't know if we have the assets though without AR.

Rui, Knecht, Vando, Kleber/Gabe expiring, 1st, and a swap is really all we can do

Meh not bad honestly

According to Wiretap Giannis and the Raptors have mutual interest. What would be the package and would the Raptors still have a competitive roster after the trade?

[TheGOATRises007]

No idea why Giannis even has interest in Toronto.

I think Barnes + Ochai + Dick + 1sts and pick swaps from now till 2030 would be the package that works best for both sides.

Gives the Bucks an up and coming all-star, two starter level young talents, and 5 future firsts to use to replenish their chest of assets.

Raptors run a starting lineup of Quickley - Barrett - Ingram - Giannis - Poeltl, which is comfortably a Top 4 lineup in the East IMO.

That line-up isn't better than what the Bucks trotted out and they weren't top 4 either.

Masai reportedly played a role in helping Giannis' family secure Greek citizenship which made it possible for Giannis to travel internationally to play basketball leading up to the NBA draft. That is the only reason the Raptors are even remotely a possibility.

I called the Raptors a remote possibility based on a personal relationship, how is that delusional? For the record I hope he stays on the Bucks.

I appreciate this must be a huge weighty decision for Giannis and it takes a lot of time to pour over it let alone make it, but I'm kind of over it. Either he stays or goes. It impacts Bucks and fans the most, but I'm conserving my energy and support for my team.

If we don't have to lose all prime assets then well ok I guess but if Giannis isn't thrilled to play with Wemby to play in SA and for the Spurs, or wants a team to be built around him, well I'm ok if we pass.

Gonna beg to differ there. I think that's a stronger lineup than what the Bucks had last year and certainly better than what they can put out next year with Dame out for the season.

What's the most you'd be willing to deal for Giannis? I think it makes too much sense for both sides to not end up getting a deal done.

If it makes you feel better we allready have reports that hes talked to the Bucks brass and told them hes not interested in a trade

(not that it matters people will pretend it didn't happen anyways)
