    I think maybe your message cut out when you were listing what the rockets send back for Maxey

    SA is the clear no-brainer here. It's basically been left out on a platter for them. **** that franchise always and forever. I'm never going to forget the Wemby fist-pump.

    Yep the only two things we have going for us is that we already made the playoffs, n that Udoka is also Nigerian

    We will have to offer Alpi Sengun, Cam Whitmore, Aaron Holiday, Jock Landale, 10th pick and future picks

    Who the hell wants to watch Harden disappear every year in April/May. If that was his option he should just stay in milwaukee.

    Watching the Nuggets, experience matters in the playoffs. Go get Giannis

    I’m not a big Giannis fan by any means, and despise watching him play basketball

    but the more I think about it, now is seriously the time to strike

    Boston is finished…Cavs looked like a Rottweiler during the regular season, but u unmask them and a Shih Tzu is revealed…they’re not a serious threat

    no disrespect to the Knicks and Pacers, but they’re like facing those Jason Kidd Nets teams that barely won 50 games in the finals…nobody is scared of them

    that is the best the East has to offer…if u make it to the finals, that’s an auto-championship for the WC team

    in the West, nobody is truly dominant…OKC is young and inexperienced, and a ton of their guys shrink in the playoffs…love J-Dub, but he’s very questionable as a #2 option on a contender, and Shai is like a midrange version of prime Harden with significantly worse playmaking ability…they are clearly quite beatable

    a title is very attainable right now

    Could we pull off a trade for Giannis as well as a trade for someone like Derrick White or S&T for Naz Reid?

    I think we could as long as Sengun is in the package for Giannis. Otherwise we won't have anything left to trade for guys like White and Reid. We have to do a sign and trade to get Naz. It doesn't matter who we get if FVV is playing 40 mins.

    Yea. It’ll take more. Hell, as long as Morey is their GM we don’t have a chance without including Amen. Most overrated GM of all time and he has no incentive to plan for the future, because if he doesn’t win next year they will jettison. His dumb ass has PG for another 3 years.

    Cool. If that means none of our competitors in the West get him, I'm good with that.

    Giannis in Brooklyn would be an absolute disaster for our 2027 pick. My understanding is that New York has always been his top destination. I’m praying for Toronto.

    On the other side it makes Milwaukee believe they have a path back to the Finals now that Boston is out of the picture for the short term.

    Amazing how in a day Boston goes from "set up to continue to be dominant, if expensive" to "screwed for a year at least and maybe longer"

    I think the Giannis dream is over unless he really wants to play here. I hope he visits San Antonio and see how much of a dump it is

    they don’t have a path with Dame out for the year and zero assets to improve the team…they’re not beating the Knicks or Pacers…I wouldn’t even take them over Detroit next season

    despite how sad the Cavs went out, Milwaukee beating them is a long-shot as well
