I’d trade Alpi but to lend some context, I would not trade him straight up for Giannis.

it would really have to be the perfect deal that brings in some sort of guaranteed star level asset. Almost a situation where a team just under values a certain superstar type. I can’t even think of a viable suggestion.

I’m a little bit concerned because of the shooting struggles at times and I don’t know if his ability to finish is ever going to become consistently great. Don’t get me wrong. He is a wonderful score, but I am thinking there are times in the playoffs where he will be able to be shut down a little bit if that makes sense.

I do rate him incredibly highly. But I would trade him if the right deal came along. I just have him slightly below Amen and Reed in my valuations.

 

The bucks 100% would NEVER EVER EVER EVER trade giannis for alpo straight up. Are you insane?

 

... Get a load of you guys. I'm a total homer but I'm not an idiot, lol

 

Gianni’s’ game is predicated on athleticism he will not age gracefully like Kati.

more like Westbrook

Alpi is 22 or something

 

Really? Thanks, I didn’t know that. LOL

 

I’m not as interested in Giannis as I am trading the fools gold that is alpo.

 

His trade value won’t likely get higher. If we don’t manage to trade him this year and he proves me wrong I will be very happy. I’m not a hater, I like the kid, just don’t believe he will get “there.”

 

I’m also out on tari. Again, love the kid, but it’s not in the cards…

 

Np bb

 

Why would I be on crack? He literally has the same injury KD and Halliburton had. Will 4 weeks of rest really help it?

 

U get Gianni’s for Sengun. Anyone is taking that deal.

 

Agree. But answer the man’s question , crack or no!?

 

Not sure that is correct, but I get why someone might think so. Being concerned about Giannis aging and injuries seems like something that should be weighed along with team fit, how it affects your cap, etc.

 

If they add 2 unprotected firsts and cash considerations we’ll think about it

 

true but I feel this team is all want to win mode now with Durant. We fast forwarded the rebuild.

amen Reed are the young core. U can say Jabari or tari, who I think one will be dealt soon.

I’m fine with not trading. I just feel we need that bench squad built better if we want to make a run.

 

What’s up with Aaron Holiday? Why hasn’t he seen any playing time lately?

 

Good.

 

SENGUN SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

 

Why make excuses, when the fact is he sucks!!! Other than Eason, easily the dumbest player on the team and for every cute pass that he makes he turns the ball over four times as much or takes a moronic ill timed three pointer or makes a dumb pass or slips. Just a bad player and we need to trade his 40 million and use Capela as our center.

 

100% agree that Alpi and Eason need to go! Package them plus a pick or two for a real star and get KD one more ring!!!
