Re: Giannis wants to win now, what's your offer to get him on a real contender?
one of the only teams that offers an immediate chance at a title and has enough assets is the Spurs.
Dylan Harper
Stephon Castle
Harrison Barnes
Keldon Johnson
5 1sts
for
Giannis
Bucks can try and send those picks to get their own back from Atlanta and portland, but Harper and Castle are a decent starting point
Spurs decide the time is now and build a perfect front court in Wemby and Giannis
Wemby/Olynk
Giannis/Kornet
Champangie/Sochan
Vassell
Fox/Russell Westbrook?

Guys if he wanted out, right now he would have been elsewhere.
I had the impression that he would ask out this summer.
He didn't, he clearly wants to stay.
It's over, he'll stay at Milwaukee.

Giannis goes to the Spurs on a trade built around Da Aron fox who will have a max contract. Player filler and pick swaps.
Spurs will have 3 players on their rookie deals and Giannus.

The Rockets have better assets and would also be a championship contender with Giannis and Durant.
Alperen Sengun or Amen Thompson are better than Harper or Castle, Jabari Smith and Tari Eason are other good young assets, and they have plenty of future picks.

Do you think Nico is running the Bucks? 28 teams would beat this offer.

Read the headline on what OP is asking, "real contender" not all "28 teams" as you say are contenders, and this would most likely be the Lakers offer maybe 1 or 2 more pick swaps (think they have 4or 5?), op only asked what's your offer, this would most likely be the Lakers offer or something similar - don't have to like it or hate, it's just what is.
And now you going to comeback most likely saying Lakers not real contenders.

Nope. Not at all.
This is just trading 5 pennies for a $10 bill.
There’s no real value here.

The Lakers will offer garbage and a single first round pick and the Bucks will mysteriously accept it without considering any other offers. The following draft, the Bucks will jump ten spots and land the #1 overall pick.

Re: Giannis wants to win now, what's your offer to get him on a real contender?
I think:
Teams with great prospects and picks combos, which could make realistic offers, while still maintaining depth / other marque players to be a favorite for a title
OKC
HOU
SAS
Teams with great prospects and picks combos, which could make realistic offers, but would probably not enough be contenders afterwards
MEM
NYK
CLE
ATL
ORL
BOS
PHI
Teams with great prospects and picks combos, which could make realistic offers, but just lack a team ready to win and would probably be worse than MIL is now afterwards
UTAH
BRK
POR
Teams that just don't have the assets
PHX
LAL
LAC
TOR
MIA
CHI
DEN
DAL
MIN
SAC
CHA

One of the weaker offers on here. Can’t trade for Giannis with out giving up best assets.
