He's crazy if he does not demand a trade to San Antonio. Him and Wemby would dominate.

He should seek for team on East, maybe not Knicks, but there are other teams as well.
On East he is best player, and with better supporting cast he will have kind a open path to finals every year for next few years.

If he goes West, OKC, Denver, Houston are all still actual treats to knock him out way before he reaches finals again.

Milwaukee is not going to trade him to an East team. He's going West for sure. Depending on what the Spurs give up to get him OKC and Denver will be their biggest threats.

It will be such a slap in a face to Silver. All actual superstar stars League has in same conference. East looking like B division with battle of B level stars who is "best player in Conference". With zero chance of that changing any time soon.

Even if the Bucks would get the top pick, there would still be people saying it was just luck for DAL and MIL, and how the draft and the league would be impossible to rig.

Looks quite clear to me that Giannis will be a Knick, it's just a matter of time now. It is what he wants and it is what he will get. Time to go for the title and become a living legend in one of the biggest markets on the planet.

Unless you're in the witness protection program, Houston has no business being anyone's "destiny." :D


Professional destiny.

I wish the league wasn't rigged. It would be more interesting.

Lol I wouldn’t bet on that one Giannis is under contract for 2 yrs the Bucks are going to get the best package for him if he does get traded and it ain’t the Knicks you don’t have the assets

Everyone saw the writing on the wall, except Bucks fans who understandably chose not to... Giannis has been forcing the team into bad decision after bad decision in a poor attempt to emulate LeBron's decision-making control, he backed the team into the corner with his idiotic moves / demands and now here we are... He's going to jump ship like many a stars before him.

Hopefully Milwaukee gets a solid package for him and can strike gold in the draft, otherwise I don't like their long-term prospects as a viable NBA city.

Exactly. What people are still overlooking is Giannis is still playing the same wishy-washy games he’s playing for years now. If what’s being reported is true why is it going to take Giannis and his agent a week to decide to stay or go? Or if he really wanted to leave this past offseason, why not be adamant and say he’s wants to be traded now and not start the season with the Bucks so he’s not a distraction? He knew the ceiling and the basement of this roster going into the season so he can’t possibly think their struggles weren’t easily predictable so why suddenly change your mind when you’ve missed some games along with other injuries and you’re not even at the break?

The guy is telling us he really doesn’t want to leave Milwaukee because he clearly doesn’t know how to do it. Even with the news breaking yesterday, does Giannis think the media won’t now ask him every chance they get about it after every game or just say he doesn’t want to talk about it and that’s it? Giannis publicly has tried so hard to say he doesn’t act like other elite stars or do what they do that now he’s put himself in this bind cause he doesn’t want to look like a hypocrite.

The Knicks don't have the assets but the Bucks don't have the leverage. If Giannis was on a 3-4 year contract, the Bucks could dictate the market.
He's under contract for only 1,5 season.
If his agent tells someone he won't re-sign there, no deal will be made.
I believe the team and the player will work together on that one.

Do the Cavs dangle Mobley? Do the Bucks like a Mobley/Turner frontcourt?

I'm under the impression they don't like Turner at all lol
Just judging by their fanbase.
If they trade Giannis, Turner is next in line.

He's 31 so if Bucks are re-building, the timeline doesn't overlap.
