I just can’t see it happening… but it sure would be insane if we also kept Towns. Just imagine that trio… unreal.

we'd lose every game 190-189. On a bounce on the last shot.

I mean, it's possible that we keep KAT and trade Brunson. If it's IT at the helm again, he may pick up a guy like Westbrook for the point
Brunson, Hart, Bridges, Rick Brunson, all picks/youth for Giannis. Heck, probably OG and Mitch too
KAT
Giannis
Kuz
PatC
Westbrook.

Yeah, that would be completely eye gouging.

0-82; average score 200-140.

Don't believe it for 1 second. Let's see what happens if/when the Knicks get Jason Kidd.

Gonna say posturing right now. Maybe the bucks do hold off. But if Giannis wants out bucks will deal
Him. I’d say they prolly have gotten some feelers of what teams are offering and it’s not appetizing to them. Put this out there and let some bidding improve

Clearer image of the trade I did on Fanspo.....with a minor tweak




6 First round picks and their own 2 1st round picks swaps, 2 2nd round picks. Milwaukee gets their picks back from the Pelicans which is a huge component while the next couple years. Those picks will likely be top 5-7. They also get the #7 pick this year.

can I also ask how Jake L Fischer is getting this Giannis info before nearly every more trustworthy reporter? Like sorry bro you work for Bleacher report.

And Shams/Windhorst and many others says this is likely to be the most crazy offseason of recent memory.

[KnixinSix]

This one is my favorite for Giannis......





6 First round picks and their own 4 1st round picks swaps, 2 2nd round picks. Milwaukee gets ALL their pick swaps back from the Pelicans/Portland which is a huge component the next couple years while they rebuild/tank. Those picks will likely be top 5-7. They also get the #7 AND #11 pick this year.

I’d go for KD. His short contract makes it easier to manage, and he can give you similar offensive production to KAT.

Giannis is obviously a beast, but he is going to cost a treasure trove of assets. The whole equation changes if either KD or Giannis specifically wants the Knicks though. Even then, the Bucks will still have leverage because Giannis has years left on his deal, while KD only has one year and can force things a bit more.

We are now in win-now mode and this will be year 2. In recent past, y'all really need to understand that championship title contenders only last for 2.5-3 years with the same core. After that you shake things up to make sure you extend that window.

Mitch
OG
KD
Bridges
Brunson

Bench - Rotation
6. Hart - all swiss army type
7. Deuce - 36% 3pt shooter/ defender
8. Bogdanovic - bucket getter
9. Lopez - 40% 3pt shooter, stretch 5
10. Kolek - backup ball handler behind Brunson

11. Marcus Morris
12. Hokporti

For vet minimum signings: Marcus Morris, Bojan Bogdanovic, Brook Lopez

the knicks don't want short contracts though...as an above 1st apron team you don't want to risk losing guys and not being able to sign them in the future...that is sort of what happened with the ihart situation.

Similar to Randle and Knicks not talking extension and they made the move earlier to move off Randle something similar will happen to Mikal if he doesn't sign his extension this offseason you probably will eventually see him traded.

If you think Leon is going to wholesale change the core of this group after reaching the ECF, you are delusional.

Yea they said the same thing about firing the coach after getting to the ECF

Btw, aren’t you in here posting deals shipping out KAT n Deuce?

[spree2kawhi]

It’ll be Horford and DiVo, and you’ll love it come Finals time.

[Reign23]

Knicks Trade
- Bridges

- Hart
- Wiz 1st
- 2 Future Swap

Knicks Get

Spurs Trade

Spurs Get

Bucks Trade

- Pat C

Bucks Get

Something like that?

I love that not only we are keeping Brunson and KAT while getting Giannis, we are also getting vassell for free

Not exactly, you can have a short contract and still retain full bird rights, unlike with Fart.

[Reign23]

If Giannis gets traded, I think there is probably about a 5% chance that we could get him.
I would expect the Bucks to ask him what his 3-4 destinations are and they would definitely do him that favor (not just ONE team tho).
And even if we are one of his favorites, it would still be a longshot.
KAT would be in the deal as well as OG (probably to a third team for assets). Even at that point.. is it worth it? I mean Giannis is a top 4 player in the NBA, but you are losing your 2nd and 3rd best player on a team that is extremely thin and top heavy to begin with.
But lets say this somehow happens, then you have to make follow up deals for Hart and/or Mitch, because you would have 3 of your 6 best players that can't shoot at all.

[Adelheid]

if the knicks really want to trade for another star ballhandler, then they have to trade towns or mikal + other guys

then go for quality role players so they can go under the second apron; this roster is a bit expensive for what they can do on the court and there may not be guarantees the next hc can bring the team performance near maximum

again, jalen needs another ballhandler beside him as he is getting murdered out there against some quality wing defenders,

[HopelessKnick]

I really wouldn't put it past Giannis to want to remain with the Bucks but he would essentially give up any realistic chance at another title. I kind of have a hard time believing he would do it, but he is a very humble guy....if there is a superstar that may just do it, it would be Giannis.
