Cavs are best landing spot for Giannis. But Cavs feel sending Mobley AND Garland is overpay. And Bucks don’t have anything to give back to Cavs to sweeten the deal. Enter Suns…

To Suns: Garland/Kuzma/AJ Green

To Bucks: Mobley/Jalen Green/Strus/Cavs 1st

To Cavs: Giannis/Grayson Allen/O’Neale
***Cavs save like 21M in trade. If need little more savings, add filler to Bucks who can take on couple mil more. Trade works in Spotrac checker.

Depending on how one feels in PHX about the Green for true PG in Garland swap, Suns could need little something.

Allen
Giannis
Hunter
Grayson
Mitchell

Or start Ball at PG with Grayson off bench. Looks like best lineup in East to me. Giannis is chasing chips every season.

Hawks line-up:

6M: Luke Kennard

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

Picks are assumed btw

Why would the Bucks want Porzingis, he has been constantly missing huge chunks of games. He’s worth way less than what Atlanta could value him at

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?



Overpay and short sighted, IMO. Spurs need to focus on building a 10-12 year window for Wemby - not liquidating the future in hopes you can maybe come out of the west for the next 3 years.

I'm even of the mindset Spurs should trade Fox for a package around Ware and really solidify the future.

Would be funny if it it wasn't actually something quite possible in this league.

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.


Its very clearly a terrible offer. Pick swaps do nothing because the lakers will have an elite record with luka and giannis for the next 5 years and the bucks would be rebuilding.

Even in this league it isnt possible since they dont control their pick

Now jumping up to #2 however................

This is the mindset to have. Milwaukee fans should say no to every trade until it actually happens.

The Bucks have the best front-court in the league, the Celtics and Pacers have major injury problems and the other teams lack the ability to stop Giannis or are inexperienced. He's on a contender ready to win now

OKC is the only contender at this point in time that could realistically meet The Bucks asking price (couple of decent young prospects and a couple of future picks)

I think San Antonio thought about it for a while but probably decided he doesn't fit the Wemby time line.

Tired of hearing Giannis saying he supposedly wants to win now, if that were true then demand a damn trade already.

If not stfu and lay in the bed you made and just enjoy the statue in MIL in the future.
