Giannis is currently one of the 5 best players in the NBA and he has championship experience. The fact that I would center a deal for him around Amen is high praise for Amen.
I hear the bucks want Amen, Jabari, and possibly Jalen, with 4-5 picks. It seems to be alot but you got to think. Your pairing Sengun(A Allstar) with a Superstar. The rockets will be title contenders believe me.
OK this one is a bit crazy , but plausible. ( ithink) I like giannis , but our strength is in the frontcourt. But can we facilitate ? Jalen Green and #10 is a fair amount of value . Giannis is a top 5 player. And he keeps himself in pretty good shape. I bet he stays very good for the next few years. Who has the HARDEST of HARD-ON'S for SUPERSTARS ? Daryl Morey. This guy is so crazy he is paying embiid 60 million dollars next year, and PG 50 + . Now if the bucks trade giannis , they are gonna wanna be bad , i mean really bad. Ok here's the play. Bucks trade Giannis to Philly for Paul George and every single draft asset Philly has. ( of course including #3 this year ) But bucks say its not enough we want more ASSETS . then Houston steps in and says , let me spot you some assets . Here's #10 and a shiny PHX pick. all we need Philly is Maxey, and look , we will give you jalen green .. hes also a potenential SUPERSTAR. now here's the real stone genius play. We are on the phone with MIL and PHI and stone stays, well look that #10 is going to you Mil , you are gonna need some cap space to take on that player .. so give us Kevin Porter Jr. Houston out Green , 10 , phx pick Houston in : Maxey, kpj Phi out - maxey, pg , every draft asset they have Phi in - giannis , jalen green , PHX pick Mil out - Giannis , Kpj Mil in - PG , draft assets out the ass including 3 and 10 this year . Then houston can decide if they want to keep FVV and go into tax hell , ( or close to it , dik ) Backcourt - FVV , Maxey, KPJ , Sheppard Frontcourt - Jabari , tari , Amen , Sengun , Brooks, Cam pretty good squad. Maybe try to bring back adams or tater.
Probably a pipe dream but a squad id enjoy watching the next few years: Rox out: Jalen to Bulls, #10 to Brooklyn Rox in: Kevin Huerter, Cam Johnson and picks #19 (Flemming) & #26 (Clayton Jr) Chicago out: Huerter to Houston, Zach Collins & #12 to Brooklyn Chicago in: Jahen and pick #27 Brooklyn out: Johnson, #29 & #26 to Houston and #27 to Chicago Brooklyn in: Collins, picks #19 & #12
Kyrie for FVV straight up? Would yall do it Houston can develop Amen & Reed while kyrie is out but hopefully have an upgrade from FVV later half of season & playoffs Dallas gets a starting pg to go with Flagg
Oh, we’re giving Dallas our inefficient backcourt? Stone, you magnificent b*stard! Dallas still declines.
you can’t be in the minority. Trading Amen would be the biggest mistake in franchise history. You can’t find that athleticism and mentality in a player. He’s already the best young defender I’ve ever seen and he’s only going to get better offensively. He’s going to be an all-nba player. Giannis will be 31. Amen is 22. Hell no!
We would have essentially no trade assets left and wouldn't have a strong enough roster to contend. Hard pass for me if that's the price. My max price for Giannis is Sengun + 2 Phoenix/Brooklyn FRPs + 1 Rockets FRP.
Is Kyrie even going to play next season? I don't think he will. And who knows what he'll look like when he comes back. Hell, at his age, if he comes back.
Injured or not, don't see even Dallas trading both of their stars for underwhelming returns. I could see a resigned Freddy for Gafford swap however. Would not make much sense for us, but I would think that is more in line with FVV's value.
