Assume when voting or discussing that:

a) Embiid goes #1 to Cleveland

b) We pick Wiggins second or Jabari second, and the Bucks have the option to trade Giannis for whichever guy they didn't take second. I edited the poll to gauge different views on Parker and Wiggins v. Giannis. Therefore, assume the guy you prefer (Parker or Wiggins) goes #2 in this scenario, and you as Bucks GM have the opportunity to ALSO get the other guy by trading Giannis to Philly for their #3 pick.

c) Philly is actually willing to trade us their #3 overall for Giannis and we use the #2 and #3 picks on Parker and Wiggins in some order



This thread topic is sick and twisted.

Can't get rid of Giannis.

I'd trade him for either.

No GM in the NBA picking top 3 would trade Wiggins or Parker for Giannis.

The only reason why people on this board would say no is because they've grown to love Giannis.

You put this question on the main NBA board and they think you're trolling if you propose Giannis for either of them.

Probably. But most non-Bucks fans haven't seen much of Giannis, and haven't seen the potential he flashed throughout the season.

I love Giannis for the energy and enthusiasm he's brought to Milwaukee and would hate to see him go but I would probably pull the trigger. A Parker/Wiggins pairing would be dynamic and thrust us back into relevancy very quickly.

I know are some gonna flip out to this and I'm probably reaching but If they both reached their potential could be talked about as Bron/Wade, Jordan/Pippen, Magic/Worthy, Bird Mchale etc...

In this fictional scenario, I'm clearing salary for Bledsoe at all costs.

Giannis is to Bucks fans what Ersan is to Herb Kohl.

I would trade Giannis for Embiid but I would strongly consider trading him for Parker/Wiggins but I would end up saying no. Parker and Wiggins are great prospects but they have their flaws as does Giannis. As they sit right now I see Wiggins/Parker as A level prospects and Giannis as an A-. When you factor in that Giannis has showed his potential at the NBA level and have similar ceilings I'd rather just stick with Giannis. Keep in mind that Giannis is only 3-4 months other than both of them.

Great question. I would be extremely tempted to do it. I love Giannis as much as the next guy, but pairing Wiggins and Parker is a very sexy thought.

As much as I love Giannis, it would be very hard to turn down the upside of Wiggins and fire-power of Parker. Best of both worlds. I'd also consider trading him for Exum.

Given what I've seen from Giannis and each of the top 3's weaknesses, I don't trade him for anyone in this draft. If Embiid didn't have injury issues I would trade Giannis for him. Giannis is so unique that I would be extremely difficult for me to give him up.

Tough call, but yes I do it. I think Parker is much safer choice to have a solid career all while having superstar potential. And Wiggins has just as much superstar potential, if not more, than Giannis. Looking at this with neutral eyes, the overwhelming majority would peddle Giannis for the #2 or #3 pick imo.

I still think Giannis will be as good as one, if not both of them so I wouldn't do it.

I'll keep Giannis. He's a unique prospect in terms of size and ability to handle the ball and he lives in Milwaukee year round pretty much.

Great question, I would keep Giannis, he is by far the best passer of the group, I believe he will turn into an excellent team defender and will be able to score in different ways.

Wiggins makes you think though, but staying with Giannis.

Wiggins and Parker are known to the average Wisconsinite, right?

In a scenario where we run a serious risk of being extinct and turning over the Supersonics, I would make that trade.

You offer to Milwaukee a team containing the two biggest promises (I'm referring to the beginning of the season where these two were paired with Randle) of the American Basketball, I think it would bring the casual fan to embrace the team.

Would with extreme reluctance, but would. Since Allen I did not create affection for a Bucks player as created by our Giannis.

Nope. I would trade him for 1 though and take Embiid and Wiggins.

Yeah, I would do it for Embiid and Exum, but that's it.
