    Forget about Giannis for this year. You don't recruit a player to come play with you only to leave him hanging before even starting the season. Come on guys, get Giannis out of your brain. In fact, this thread should be moved to the Dish since Giannis leaving is not happening for at least the 1st half of this season, and likely until next season when the Bucks fail at advancing.

    No, we need someone that's going to play this year. Since we are hard capped, we don't have the luxury of stashing Liliard away like we did for Steven Adams when we traded for him.

    KD and Giannis just makes too much sense now.
    Time to start the "Sengun Appreciation" thread.

    I truly hope the Rockets don't destroy their team chasing aging stars that will be washed in a few years.

    KD is fine because we gave up nothing of value, but going after Giannis would be tragic.

    It’s going to take more than Myles Turner or Giannis gone before The Super Bowl……

    Yeah.

    And winning would feel better with your own homegrown talent you drafted.

    I don't wanna become the Lakers or Dodgers winning with the best talent you can acquire.

    All moot. Effing Turner. Bucks aren't trading for Sengun when they've just signed Turner for four years. Getting Giannis now would require a complicated three-team trade in which someone else takes Sengun for a package that the Bucks love. And why would they sign a 10-year vet and then trade Giannis? Nah, he's only leaving the Bucks if he demands it.

    He will go down as one of the most overhyped players of all time.

    Looks like they're trading Giannis and tanking to accelerate the rebuild. Unless they are gambling KPJ hits his potential and they squeak through in the open East, not sure if that's nearly enough to compete.

    Major fail on that contract, took a gamble on an aging star who was overpaid.
