    That's right, some of us have maturity and can make our points without cussing like a 5 year old. Only little kids think cussing makes their points stronger, and clearly you are one lol

    Yeah that's how it works. Google "swearing and intelligence" you'll see you're on the wrong side of the argument. "Kiddo." LMFAO.

    Lol, you need Google to tell you swearing is intelligent? Not only is that dumb, it's also a huge sign of immaturity to use the internet of all things to confirm your personal bias. You are such a little kid and it's hilarious lol, thanks man, I didn't realize you would expose your lack of intellect so clearly

    It really is not cuz the trade doesn't work straight up. What else are we giving up, how does it make us any better to replace sengun with Giannis and lose other depth pieces and picks to make our team better. Giannis being better than Sengun is not the only factor in trades. Their salaries don't match. Milwaukee will have a ton of bidders and the price is going to be a lot.

    Giannis will only want to leave to win. He would want to play with another star. Last I checked Sengun was our only All Star so how does this trade make sense for the Greek Freak? He'd be no better off than just staying in Milwaukee.

    Of course the trade doesn't work straight up, but we'd also have to trade several pieces on top of Sengun to get Giannis. People acting like Sengun would be enough alone is more of a compliment than hate, because straight up every single GM in the NBA would trade Sengun for Giannis if that's all it took to get a player of that level. Seriously.

    Just curious what would you give up for Giannis with Sengun. Cuz nothing really makes sense to me. We know our weakness and it's not the front court.

    I wouldn't, because the cost would be too high for us to have enough pieces to stay competitive. But if the cost was just Sengun, then I'd do it in a heartbeat before they woke up and realised they're a worse GM than Nico Harrison.

    So you are proving his point you just don't see Sengun's potential. Not sure why you are reacting so strongly when you are proving his point.

    Giannis is amazing and highly likely Sengun won't reach his level but at the same time Sengun is also 7 yrs younger. I would take a lesser player if it means a larger window of contention and with Sengun I think you have a 13 yr window easy. With Giannis you get a 5 yr window and then he is done.

    No, I'm just saying that it's a no brainer to trade damn near any player in the league for a top 3 player. I'll leave all the other weirdness to y'all, don't put words in my mouth or thoughts in my head that were never there, it loses you the argument straight away when you have to do that. Almost nobody in NBA history has hit Giannis' level, you realise that right? Go look up how many players have averaged 30/11/6, seriously.

    And yet everybody keeps going at me simply because I would trade Sengun for Giannis straight up. Yet I'm supposedly the crazy one, yeah? Y'all are the type of people women should be scared of ever breaking up with. ****ing weirdos.

    It’s not just that they disagree with universal basketball truths. They attack you as an individual, claiming you’re pushing a hidden agenda for other Houston players like Amen Thompson or Jalen Green. It’s abjectly strange behavior.

    Someone should start a page, “Would you trade Sengun for Victor Wembanyama?” I wager these users here say no.

    It gets old, very very fast. For reference, I'd trade Sengun for Luka, Tatum, SGA, Jokic, Ant and a number of other players too - because they're all ****ing better than him. SOF's can suck a dick at this point if they don't like it.

    You guys think Sengun has been in contact with Omar Asik? Chatter among countrymen possibly?

    I don't think there's much a player of Sengun's caliber could learn from Trashik tbh. I guess maybe if it's a friendship/national bond type thing, but I doubt he's somebody he'd need like game tips from or **** like that. Hell, if he's speaking to older players I'm hoping it's people like Dream considering he's worked with him in the past.
