If I were Houston, Sengun is off the table. If they can get away with offering Smith, Eason, expirings and a bunch of picks, it's a win.

Thought exercise: Would you do Tatum and change for Giannis? Bucks could tank and you would compete this year.

I personally wouldn't.

Giannis attitude in several of the Bucks losses sincd his return has not being great, and i really want JT to be a one team player.

I still believe he ends up at The Knicks or Miami.

1.) That package probably doesn't get it done.
2.) The salary would be untenable. Sengun and Durant near max, Giannis supermax, and soon to be Thompson and Sheppard.
3.) Amen, Sengun, Giannis, Durant, and eventually FVV is a terrible mix of players, specifically Giannis/Sengun. Too many iso-scoring options, not enough shooters and defensive role players.

With the Bucks?
Why don't you list them instead?

I didn't think you would. (sigh)

I won't do your job because you're bored. Or because you don't have a case.
Giannis is the franchise leader in every category except the steals(he's 2nd there).
He's over Kareem and every other Buck in stats, accomplishments, honours.
If you can't prove the opposite better don't speak at all :dontknow:

Man I dunno. The GM in me would def consider it. Giannis is 4 years older but Tatum is coming off the injury. And at their peak, Giannis is the more dominant player.

But the fan in me doesn't like it at all haha. I personally enjoy watching JT play more than Giannis, and I'm invested in his recovery and want to see him come back and compete for another title with Brown. Been watching JT grow up from rookie to champ and I'm very attached. Also Giannis seems a bit emo at the moment and I like my Celtics drama-free.

I really think Tatum comes back fairly soon, unless the C's are at the bottom of the standings and there's just no point.

Yes. I believe Giannis has another 4-5 years on elite level(if not more) and I'm certain Brad can do all the right things to maintain a contender for the foreseeable future.

This summer yes. He gave them the season. I think he'll honour that.

Doubt we will. Don't think we should. Giannis is a great player who OKC clearly doesn't need and we are still too far away from contention to go all in on. .

Idk if that's true. Wemby, Fox and Giannis is an incredible core three (replace Fox with Harper if you want to use Fox's salary). I don't think that's too far from contention

Except the other parts of Giannis requirements also don't fit. He wants a team where he can be the main guy who is built around and roster decisions. No bueno.

Can you support your claim or not drama queen? :roll:

Avoid the name-calling please. Disagree with the content of each other's posts or ignore it, but don't get personal. -b

Realistically he’s gonna give the bucks like 3-4 choices that he’s willing to go to.

Spurs might be one of them. Wemby is the man but he hasn’t planted his flag as the 1a guy for that long. He might be willing to defer to Giannis and then by the time freak starts to exit his prime wemby would be the man. Giannis could also ease up on the roster requests, there’s a few teams that if you join you gotta defer to the org and trust their history, spurs are one of them.

He said he would reevaluate at the quarter mark of the season.

Yeah I mean it's not an impossible / unbridgeable gap. There's just a lot of ifs along the way that I think are fewer with other teams / gap is closer with them.

He has to stay out East, having the all-nba 1st team out West would just be a bad look. Teams that I think should swing are the Pistons, Hawks, Cavs, Raptors, Bulls, and Heat.

Cavs can't swing, they're a 2nd apron team, not allowed to aggregate contracts and cannot take back 1 penny more than they send either.

Cavs have the highest payroll in the NBA this season.

Which teams do you think have a legit shot ?

Knicks, Spurs, and Sixers look like good trading partners. Hopefully he stays in the East though.

Not sold on Reaves and change from the Lakers being enough to get it done.

Weirder things have happened but teaming up with Doncic is not a good look and highly unlikely

In what universe is that not a good look? The league would be ecstatic to have him on the Lakers with Luka.
