    Trade for Giannis, Draymond, Curry, Harden and all 32-35 plus year olds......

    I suggest we might also want a 70 year old Coach in a wheel chair.

    Trading Giannis straight up would be the dumbest move EVER for....The Bucks. The Rockets would dumb af not to take that deal. Idc what Giannis injury history is. Are you insane?

    You are the insane one how would we afford Giannis and KD salary? Just give up everything for a dude on the downhill of his career and solely dependent on his athleticism to do anything?

    some fans always chase the big names you should be a Laker fan instead thats all Lakers care about.

    I think the FO adding Durant was the only win now move they think they needed to make. They are convinced that by playoff time this team will be peaking. I think they are wrong and if they would’ve followed my advice they’d probably crashing in on an NBA title. Unfortunately, they think Ime is smarter than me. Again, they are wrong.

    Seriously, they really should make a trade for Malik Monk and maybe a journeyman center to back up Capella while Sengun is recovering. I don’t think even Ime could screw up that kind of roster. Adam’s and DFS or Tari along with a frp gets Monk. They could go a cheaper rout and hang onto their depth by sending a FRP, Tate, and Jeff Green to NO for Alvarado and Deandre Jordan. Both moves would give us a viable backup guard that can shoot and handle and a 3rd center to let Sengun rest. Are they willing to sacrifice the 27 Phoenix pick for Alvarado and a chance to make noise this year? Are they willing to sacrifice Tari and a FRP to solidify our backcourt for several years after you extend Monk?

    He is injured right now. He has missed around 20 games 6 out of the last 7 games. He can’t shoot from outside and doesn’t want to play center. That is a very bad fit for the Rockets. No, I’m not insane. After this latest injury, I don’t think the Bucks will trade him during the season. They will wait until after the season when they can probably fleece some stupid team. If he does get traded in season, it will probably be for Jimmy Butler and an unprotected frp from GSW. They are desperate to give Curry one last hurrah. Their salaries are an exact match.

    100%!!! Giannis is a beast and MVP candidate and will be so for at least the next 3 years. Keep Sengun and Eason with no pick next year and we’ll have three first round exits guaranteed.

    Sengun+Tari for Harden works on the trade machine...

    Harden - Amen - KD - Jabari - Capela
    Reed - Okogie - DFS - Tate/Jeff/Adams

    DFS+Tari for Malik Monk?

    Amen - Monk - KD - Jabari - Sengun
    Reed - Davison - Okogie - Tate - Adams/Capela
