    So that's why Silver helped the Mavs and Spurs. It all makes sense now.

    They want to team up KPJ and Jalen one more time.

    People say we need shooters but Milwaukee has a ton of shooters we could add into the deal.

    Gary Trent Jr, AJ Green, Bobby Portis would all be huge additions to our depth and can space the floor. If the celtics blow it up Jrue Holiday, Sam Hauser, Derrick White .... etc. Lots of shooting talent that can be had around the league to support Giannis + Amen.

    Seeing what Dallas is capable of doing, I can absolutely see them offering Cooper Flagg for Giannis and ruining the future of the franchise to form a big 3 of Kyrie-Giannis-Davis

    Where does it say they have to all be directed to one team, normally they go to multiple and different teams.

    I don’t see how the bucks would pass up the 2nd pick (Dylan Harper) + 14 + all the other picks they have from Spurs

    That’s a quick restart to a rebuild if you ask me.

    I don't know, they don't have their own picks so they would be left with average future picks and players years away from being picked.

    If I'm them, I'm asking for Fox and Castle with picks. At least gives you talent now...

    I doubt Lillard comes back...

    it seems like the 2nd pick was expressly sent to the spurms in order to facilitate this giannis trade

    Jalen and Sengun woukd likely be in the trade. I’m assuming Cam as well. Obviously picks as well. They may ask for another young piece.

    so woukd our roster look like this?

    Adams/Brook Lopez
    Giannis/Bari
    Amen/Dillon/Tari
    SG
    Fred/Reed

    I think we’d have a lot of roster configuration to do if we traded for Giannis. Still not sure how we’d get a good shooting guard.

    Idk why so many posters think the Mavs would give up # 1 or the Spurs # 2 for a soon to be 31 year old Giannis. Either would be as dumb as the Luka trade. Yeah I know it’s still Nico but even he wouldn’t give up Flagg for Giannis.

    Rockets and maybe OKC, but I don’t see them moving Chet or Jdub for him, are the only teams that make sense.

    Brooks, Green, Bari, and the PHX picks. I would not include Sengun or obviously Amen.

    Resign FVV to a much lower annual number, sign a vet SG, and let’s roll.

    FVV/Reed
    Vet/Cam
    Amen
    Giannis/Tari
    Sengun/Adams

    Not in favor of gutting out the team for Giannis ... there I said it! :cool:

    He's a phenomenal player/athlete, but I kind of like what we have going on with our team! If he can be had for a reasonable price I'm all in, but it has to be reasonable!!

    Stay the course Stone, Baby Steps!! Don't overpay!!!!!!


    Go Rockets!!!

    I think we have the best offer, even if you don't include Amen. The Bucks can't tank because they don't have their own picks. They need actual players with high upside. For salary matching, SA would need to send out mediocre guys like Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson, and Harrison Barnes. Sengun, Jalen, Bari, and Tari are all younger and better than those guys.

    If the Spurs want him they get him. The second pick in a two-player draft is worth more than any two of our picks maybe 3. Put it this way, would CFans give up 2 future picks and maybe a good player to get a chance at Harper. I think most would say yes.
