Curious what a Knicks package for Giannis looks like.


Basically Towns+ or OG and Mitch+. We don't have a draft capital base right now.


Brunson and Hart

You trade for him if it's not more than 1 starter, like KAT + Josh or something like that, if you're trading KAT + either of OG or Mikal for him you're not winning anything. Depth is just as vital to a winning team now as star talent.


then you don't want the trade, which is fair, because anything outside of kat and one of og/mikal isn't happening. even then it sucks for them.

You didn’t want to trade no J for OG either. Sometimes I have to step in and do what needs to be done for the good of the team

I don't want any trades seeing two starters go out for one, especially not the wings. The whole point of getting him would be playing him at the 5, with the wings and giving the opponents an impossible choice of defending Mikal/OG with a C, or putting their C on Giannis, either way the C has to guard someone that has the ball or is on the perimeter. KAT + OG or Mikal would be idiotic, and we'd end up like the Suns, Nets, Bucks or whatever else failed superteam attempt has happened in the last decade.

Old lying rob.

Nobody even knew we were trading RJ, and I was fine with it when we got OG. I didn't want that moronic trade package for Spida, which you signed off on.

You however thought Brunson would be a backup PG.

Total fiction! Backup to whom? Frank? I sarcastically said borderline starter on a 2k ratings thread at least get your talking points straight :lol:

Greenarrow was right, the league has figured them out. Worst perimeter defender in the nba (Chanel sent me the stats) and guy who can’t shoot and they don’t even bother to guard, for Giannis. Mikal finally gets to be unleashed again like when Brunson was out with the ankle injury and he had that game against Portland. Deuce Mikal and OG insane defense backcourt Giannis and Towns best big man tandem in NBA history likely surpassing Kareem and James worthy or Duncan and Robinson. Still tons of depth. Would be the heist of the century. Take it and run. At least 2 rings guaranteed, possibly 3 :D

This was a happier home when you were retired. I'm working on a trade with the Wolves board to get you there, they have 3 Kentucky players. I'm looking for a rotational poster, doesn't need to be a superstar, we just need to rid ourselves of this toxicity.

If there is a trade feels like OG, Mitch and whatever other parts needed, picks etc

KAT/Huk
Giannis/Yabu
Bridges/Hart
Deuce/Clarkson
Brunson/Brogdan


Yeah I don't think it's a good idea to trade away another of his Nova buddy... so Josh and Mikal are off limits. KAT is also off limits we need his shooting...

I think definitely Mitch + OG, then maybe Deuce + Yabu for Giannis + DiVo (Portis to a 3rd team, e.g. Lakers who send Gabe Vincent to Minny) :droop:

Beautiful. If it doesn’t happen, I’ll enjoy watching OG though…….

You have hated Brunson for years, he is the reason why we're a contender and people want to be here. Trying to trade him in packages just to keep the Kentucky hold on this team is disgusting. You will be tried at the Hague by the time this is over with.


Proposing Brunson trades should be a bannable offense, maybe even actual time on Rikers as well.

I like Brunson but Giannis is Giannis.

Jokes aside though why would the bucks even consider trading a generational hall of fame talent like Giannis for an assortment of quality overpaid role players as others are suggesting? Those are the types of guys you add to your cornerstone not trade your cornerstone for. And we don’t have draft assets. I actually don’t even think they’d trade him for Towns either although that works financially

But the picks we gave up for the right to overpay Mikal don't matter....

This is why you don't do the Mikal trade.

even though giannis is better than him, if you trade brunson who's taking your end of game shots ? your best shot creator would probably be mikal at that point and that's disgusting.

they won't. it would take kat and og or mikal and then you would probably need 3rd teams to send them young players/picks back for those guys.

no



Rob is off his rocker with this one.

Wanting to send Brunson off to space for Giannis is wild.

Brunson brought this franchise back to relevancy. At this point he impacts winning more.

Giannis’ game is centered around his athleticism and won’t age well. Wouldn’t trade his for KAT of Brunson.
