I want to see what this roster can do honestly. Giannis would be great but I agree with melo and sham. If I'm Milwaukee I'm not taking those deals.

That being said, I'm not gutting this roster and I doubt Leon is either. So something will have to give. Giannis is gonna have to make the Bucks eat sh*t otherwise we roll with this group

Would he be willing to play center

I don't think Milwaukee is getting more than KAT and future firsts. I'm not ripping apart the team as constructed, and apparently neither is Leon.

He must be willing to play center if he wants to be here

If we can have a core of Brunson OG and Giannis then I would be really happy.


I would also want to keep Mikal and Deuce so we have 4 shooters around Giannis. I dunno how this is gonna work :lol:

Don’t think we’d stand a chance at an offer from the Thunder and rockets but we’re probably in the ballpark


It all hinges on him wanting to be here and nowhere else. Those packages don’t matter if he says I’m not signing an extension there


That anvil didn’t stop the raptors into not making the Kawhi move. There’s also teams that will be sure that they’ll be able to talk him into staying. Hopefully that threat is enough to keep the bigger suitors away but idk if that takes everyone off the table.


Sure the raptors did the Kawhi move but the spurs took some heat for trading him there and even though they won the championship he still left anyway. So even if they traded him to the hawks against his wishes (which doesn’t happen much in this day and age especially with someone of his caliber) and even if they won the chip he could still try to fight his way here

Yeah that's the thing. The asset chest is so dry that any move for Giannis will set the team back in terms of depth. Severely.

even in what people consider the biggest rip off in recent history, the luka trade, they mavs still got a perennial all-star, an unrestricted first and a young player without hearing from another suitor. you're not getting the 3rd best player in the league for a couple of role players. i want this thread locked. most of you should not be able to talk about these kind of things. you're not serious people. :lol:

So you’re saying a package built around Kat has a chance to get giannis?!?!? :lol: glad to get you on board with the trade proposals.

Between this forum and WFAN I’m not sure we deserve the label of the smartest fan base :lol:

Giannis is going to need to call up Jimmy Butler and James Harden to learn how it’s done. If he wanted to take the nice way out and keep his reputation intact and still get to New York, he should have did it several years ago.

If Mitch plays most of the season and dominates like he was before he got hurt last season.

I think him and OG would be would be good trade peices for the Bucks. OG is an elite wing in this league and Mitch can be when healthy an elite defensive Center.

OG, Mitch, McBride, Diadet, Kolek, Hukporti for Giannis.

PG-Brunson/Brogdon/
SG-Bridges/Clarkson/McCullar
SF-Hart/Shamet/
PF-Giannis/Diawara/
C- Towns/Yabusele/
