Best Giannis Offer as of 6/12/2026?

[JMAC3]

not that scaredy cat Jeff Peterson would offer this, or that Giannis would come here....

but I wouldn't trade pick #14 this year, pick #18 this year, 2027 DAL 1st, 2027 MIA 1st, 2027 CHA 1st, 2029 CLE/MIN/UTA 1st, Bridges, Green, Salaun, Mann (all exps) for any of the OP's trade packages but I would for Giannis.

just saying

I don't think Minnesota or Miami would trade their packages for this either

You think that is too much for Minnesota to give up? That is wild.

2 bench players, 2 bad 1sts and McDaniels is too much to give up for a top 5 player in the world?

[nykballa2k4]

I think offer number 4 is the most likely. I really think Bucks want their picks (or better) at their disposal and that package yields the most picks and two legitimate prospects. Maybe Scoot with some more freedom is actually a guy. Maybe they trade Sharpe instead of Grant.

The word this is in relation to Charlotte's package. Demonstrative words can be challenging in the English language, but I thought it was clear what the word this was referring to in my comment.

The package isn't legal offer for Charlotte but also weird to hyperfocus on an offer with 6 firsts as if it was some terrible package.

Yeah it isn't bad, just have to wonder if getting the picks back for Milwaukee matters as much in the new lotto era. Might be more valuable to just get as many bites at the apple as possible and getting back swaps back doesn't necessarily guarantee more bites at the apple

Nobody is hyperfocusing on it and nobody is insinuating it is a terrible package.

I don't understand the point of this post?

Let me recap, because you appear confused, and potentially out of your element.

1) Charlotte fans offers a hypothetical offer of a ton of assets from Charlotte and states that they would trade it for Giannis, but not any other offers in OP
2) The Inclination here is that the Charlotte fans believe this offer is better than any offer in the OP
3) I respond to this offer and state I don't think multiple teams listed in the OP would trade their package for this (The Charlotte hypothetical) Offer

Where am I hyperfocusing? I made 1 comment. One. A single response is hyperfocusing? That's new to me, but I am relatively newer to this forum than you, so perhaps one response is considered "hyperfocus".

Where am I insinuating the package is terrible? I simply stated some of the OP packages wouldn't be traded for this Charlotte package.

Again, I am a bit puzzled by your rhetoric and response.

Moving on….

Personally I like the Atlanta package and Miami packages because you get help the fastest..

Whereas Nets and even Portland package most of the assets are a few years away.

Can't win em all!

My problem with the Atlanta package is Atlanta loses its best assets from the 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027 drafts to build around Jaylen Brown, Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, Onyeka Okongwu and Nickeil Alexander-Walker?

Like what are we doing here trading 4 "1sts" to pair Jaylen Brown and Jalen Johnson?

I wasn’t going to derail thread but…

Cool. I'm not going to cite flat earthers as to why I should believe in Flat Earth theory.

That’s crazy uncalled for. He has a lot of metrics that project well. I’d love him on the Suns

Nothing is uncalled for. I'm not even saying that Salaun can't be a role player in the NBA.

In fact, my comment has nothing to do with Salaun, so I fail to see what is uncalled for about it?

But to be honest, your tendency to put the crazy emoji after you respond to someone’s post doesn’t really come off the best.. nor does responding to people trying to compare their posts to flat earth theories.. or responding to people explaining to them they probably don’t understand you because “ the English language is challenging.”

I mean you do you, but all these posts come off pretty insulting when nothing was said to provoke the response. At least in my opinion.

I must be higher on Jaylen Brown tho, because Risacher, Newell, 8 and a future first doesn’t seem like a crazy price to pay for a top 15 guy in his prime. Especially if you are dumping Kispert contract.

I had Hawks keeping pick 23 and all the salary sent out was either bad or filler. Keeping Dyson and Naw.

#8 is a solid piece but I assume there needs to be another solid piece (Probably Dyson) in order to pull the trade off. Either that or multiple more firsts with varying degrees of protection.

The 2027 1st is one of NOP/MIL 1sts

Nets offer has better pick quality than this, but yeah, it's better than the rest of the offers for the Bucks.

[Pattycakes]

I’ll never get tired of seeing the “look at my terrible team plus Giannis” lineup paste… like cool Andrew Wiggins is still playing for the states in 2026 we are all equally shocked

I have heard that logic, but IMO it's overstated. You still need to finish in the lotto position to get a crack at the top. If you control your own destiny, you can work towards it. If you are holding, say, Cavs picks, well a) they are going to be a playoff team and b) they have no incentive to tear down if you hold their pick so they will make sure you DONT get a top pick.

I personally almost feel that the new system encourages getting your own picks back as using the Pels as an example -- they hold a Bucks pick that if Bucks tear down will only give them 2 lotto balls. They might be inclined to sell that to the Bucks as it's return value has greatly diminished.

It seems absolutely crazy... Brown is worth a lot more than that...

Terrible team is hyperbole.
Nets example is going to be incomplete as it will depend on FA's
Heat example is more of a traditional contender rather than what we have seen in recent history. Bam-Giannis is a fair 1-2, the question is can Powell, Wiggins-Mitchell be their best selves.
Top 3 teams in the East would still be Knicks, Celtics, Cavs. Can that group pass Detroit? If Detroit get's a 2nd guy they might actually become a legit #1 seed.

Only ways Giannis can can get all of his wishes is thru Cavs (Mobley), Knicks (Towns) and Celtics (Brown) so he can just put himself on an East contender.
Pacers low-key an option (I feel like they recently killed their depth tho).

Everyone is going to be that clear Giannis-led team that you would classify as "terrible"

I don't really get reggies point here, but IMO Wolves need to pull out because they cannot afford to lose the players that would be involved. Keeping Gobert, Randle, Giannis is just too big and clunky. Gobert is strictly a C, Randle strictly a PF, Giannis is best at PF, can play C and maybe still SF.
Reid and McDaniels are the more positionless guys and are better fits with Giannis...
