So according to Wiretap Giannis wants to be on a team that can win the title. What is your realistic best offer to get him on a real contender?

I had a dream that the Cavs traded Garland and Allen for him and it was so realistic when I woke up I thought it was true

Thanks to the awful NBA CBA it is basically impossible to make a trade for Giannis that the bucks would actually like.

Durant thing all over again. Who's he left to play with and why would it be considered a contender

pretty much every time he talks he talks about staying with the bucks, and also winning, but he all know bucks not good at all

hes kinda like this super hot chic you trying to score that keeps giving you mix signals and screwing with you, giving you hope and jerking you around

Uhm, Ingram, RJ, Quickley? Between RJ (third option), and Ingram(second option), do you even need to ask?

Gradey + Boyles still there too.

I can't prove it, but I think the plan is in the summer, it's Reaves S&T, Knecht, 2026 FRP (picked for MIL), 2031 and 2033 FRPs and whatever swaps Milwaukee wants.

Lakers will have a ton of room under the cap this summer to absorb the difference in salary

Of course, that isn't to say Milwaukee would find that package attractive, but if he says the magic words "Trade me to the Lakers", then the Lakers can preserve cap space for a year and have even more cap space in 2027 to go after guys

Citing Ingram as the second option for a contender shows we're not being serious here. He can't even make it to April much less June.

youre not gomna get what you think you will. very rare for a contender to have younf stars available to trade along with the contracts. okc is the only legit option and they won't do it.

wrong question. he just signed until '28

the question should be "whats the offer in 3yrs". if you want to grab him away from mil, then you have to pony up your core players on your "contending" team whivh he ainçt going to a contender anymore

however I'd trade lebron and reaves to pair him up him luka.
ill throw in a draft pick

Thank you for your concern realgm. You'll be happy to know his current team will be contender if he stays healthy.

I think we're gonna get another year of Giannis playing for Milwaukee and Raptors fans dreaming about getting him :lol:
