    If the Buck are similarly fooled, the Bucks will be sending picks to the Rockets in a Giannis Amen swap.

    Giannis can’t shoot, can’t hit FTs, relies too much on athleticism and is 31. As soon as he has a Rockets jersey on, the refs are gonna swallow their whistles. Also ball handling/turnovers, decision making, off ball defense and leadership are all sus.

    I would not even take a flyer on ‘Mr. SPIN SPIN DUNK’. He aint even that good.

    We wouldn't beat OKC if we traded for Giannis either though

    My guy, Amen shoots 2/11 when the opposing team literally leaves him wide open.

    Rockets Reddit is claiming Sengun isn't even sick. He's been traded for Giannis already, but the injury has derailed things.

    For the people who want Giannis and want to trade amen. So non shooter for another non shooter but older and more injury prone? The freak sucks all he does is runs n dunks same as amen but amen is young enough to improve his shot

    Only player I would trade amen for is SGA

    not happening

    so throw Jabari in any major deal. Amen is untouchable.

    Don't like Giannis but saying he sucks is asinine. He's still easily a top 5 player. If he sucks, every single rocket is complete trash because we have nobody even in his universe.

    I read a Paulo Alves post that said Sengun has been traded for Giannis.

    Can’t shoot


    Amen plays defense and is the glue guy for the team

    Amen would be enough to trump any other team's offer for Giannis. That said, I'm not so sure I would do it. The biggest argument for it would be KD's age which kind of necessitates accelerating the timeline.

    If anything, I'd rather help Atlanta get a Giannis trade done by taking Trae off their hands and sending Tari to the Bucks to be the young piece of the trade. Then Amen can stay in the dunker spot where he really thrives.

    Giannis can’t shoot AT ALL. Can't hit FTs AT ALL. He relies too much on athleticism and is old af.

    Hard pass.
