    Now . . . imagine no more.

    Ladies and NeckbardMen,

    I present to you.





    Giannis Mt. Koumpto

    [​IMG]


    Obviously he would prefer to go to the Lakers, but the Rockets are in the unique situation of being able to compensate Milwaukee with enough talent before he bolts. And I assure you, it's only a matter of time.

    These are the kinds of players that win championships. The entire package.

    Love and toodles,
    Honey Bear, B.B.C.

    Poor dude seeking attention again.

    And again nobody cares about this thread. Now, go away. Come back after two days and try again.

    Durant without a jumper.

    I couldn't disagree more. McGrady was a better passer later in his career and a far better jump shooter earlier in his career. There was a time in Orlando where McGrady's game was largely predicated on his back to the basket game.

    TMAC has always had the drive before the injuries, he was just never on a good champion caliber team with champion caliber teammates.

    What about Harden with Lebron's body?

    Or Westbrook with a brain?

    Or Durant with a couple of balls between his legs?

    T-Mac had the drive, never the ability to finish in the playoffs. It was always on him.

    I'd rather have Kobes talent and Kobes drive.

    Imagine Gianni's body...and his brain. Standard issue. Good enough.

    All Giannis needs, is a passable jumper, and he'll be MVP of the league. Not 1, not 2, not 3...

    I'll go further and say that it was his back that gave him trouble. The guy was always a trooper and always did his best with pretty garbage talent around him while he was here in Houston. He had to eventually succumb to back problems because he has Scoliosis.

    Absolutely no way to acquire Giannis. If I were Miluakee I wouldn't even trade him for LeBron.

    That's dumb. LeBron instantly makes them favorites to get to the Finals every year in the East while the Cavs will just be another Celtics/Wizards/Bucks/Raptors team..good but not good enough.

    Bucks owner would fire the GM on the spot if he rejected a LeBron trade for Giannis.

    Lol "compensate Milwaukee"

    What are we gonna give them that's fair value ? Our next 8 ( every other year ) first rounders ? Maybe we'll even throw in Anderson .

    We might be able to get Parker if they aren't sold on his ability to stay healthy
