Surely there are other deals around the league, but a deal around Anunoby and Bridges will give them a very solid, winning team.
Sounds like you want the Bucks to stay competitive and be a revolving door like most teams. Anunoby and Bridges won't make the Bucks winners.
They need to focus on draft picks and rebuilding.
Are you even a fan of the Bucks?
Turner, Anunoby and Bridges are three of the very best 3&D players in the league.
All three are super-easy to build around. They would only need a high volume scoring lead guard, of which there are plenty in league.
With a front line of Turner/Anunoby/Bridges, the Bucks are one high-scoring lead guard away from being a 4/5 seed in the East.

Sad for the fanbase. I feel for them for what their front office did trading it all for Mikal Bridges.
The front office are dummies.
2/10 rage bait.

I am not here to put the Knicks fans down, or insult them. They're innocent in all of this. It's all the front office. The front office made a boneheaded decision in trading their 5 years built-up vault of picks for Mikal Bridges, handicapping them in Giannis offers.

Exactly, the Knicks did ALMOST everything right, but the one mistake they made is MASSSIVE and it truly is tragic that they have Bridges instead of a war chest that would have landed them Giannis (especially since the Knicks are his favorite destination).
Its like in tennis when you play a perfectly constructed rally, move your opponent off the court, have a wide open court to hit the winning volley into, but dump it into the net...

And ZERO all-star appearances between the three with roughly $100m combined in salary per season. Focusing on draft picks is the way to go for a small market franchise like Milwaukee if Giannis is moved.

They are in the unique position of not being able to benefit from losing for several years.
Losing does not help them, so they should be trying to win. Draft picks would be great too, but because they don't benefit from losing, win-now players are important as well.
What should be the priority, picks or win-now players? I'd lean toward the win-now guys because you have absolutely no control over the picks. It'd be out of the Bucks' hands.
If they acquire Anunoby and Bridges (and Robinson) while giving up Kuzma and Giannis, they have the perfect team of elite complimentary guys to couple with any defensively challenged scoring lead guard, and these type of scoring guards are everywhere in the league.
They could recycle through guys like Claxton, Clarkson, Cole Anthony, Kevin Porter Jr., Simons, Austin Reaves, Coby White, or DeAaron Fox and be an upper-echolon team in the East.
Anunoby and Bridges are extremely high-level role players that fit in any and all systems. They are tremendous assets to have in today's NBA.
Taking draft picks from Houston and hoping other teams are bad as you suck for Portland would be an utter disaster.

Imagine if your wife told you she was devoted to you, for now, but it would be “human” if she changed her mind in a few months.
You wouldn’t be preparing for the worst?

Not the same thing at all
Giannis has said the same thing over the years right before he signed his extensions. The bucks have done everything to help him win injuries just have happened at the worst times to Giannis Middleton and Dame. This team might not have a big name like dame anymore but I like this team a lot more then Last yrs team. Don’t be surprised if they win 50 or more games.

The difference is, Giannis signed an extension right after the Jrue and Dame trades.
It doesn’t sound like he’s all that thrilled about the Myles Turner signing.

Giannis gets an east coast team, still in Eastern conference, historic franchise, ready to win chips - that would be very hard to leave - so mitigate/eliminate flight risk.
To Celtics: Giannis/Vassell
Celtics get Giannis to play for a chip in weakened East.
To Spurs: Tatum/2x Bucks Filler
Spurs know they aren’t playing for a chip in 25/26 give Wemby another year in incubator, give locked-in Tatum the time needed to recover, and enter 26/27 all-in for a chip (including cap flexibility, another lotto-luck scenario, and healthy big 4: Wemby, Tatum, Fox, Castle).
To Bucks: Harper/Simons/Johnson/Picks: 26&31 Celtics 1sts, 27 Hawks 1st (via Spurs), 29 Spurs 1st, bunch of 1st swaps
Bucks get the bright shinny object and picks package for Giannis. If Harper is legit, Bucks franchise will have excitement and a plan after Giannis.
Why wouldn't the Spurs just trade all that for Giannis instead of doing Boston a massive favor for no apparent reason? Bornstellar wrote:Wolveswin wrote:Here is an outcome that should work for all…

No offense but is this a joke? Spurs pay a massive price so that Boston can get Giannis and we get post-Achilles tear Tatum? And Boston is only giving up a couple picks and Simons aside from Tatum??
