    Wow. What a ground breaking announcement. I never watch these talking heads, unless it is right before a game or at halftime. Just an absolute waste of time of guys stating the obvious or in many other cases just throwing crap out to get attention.

    If they intend to do so, please include Jalen in the package.

    I mean you don't say no when someone calls about Giannis. Any top 5 player in the league, you have to try to acquire.

    I would love him but not at the price or the amount of assets. Feels like regret within 3 years down the line

    Thunder were 10th seed 2 years ago and never traded for a superstar. They signed Hartentian and kept letting their young guys grow

    If Atlanta or Chicago move up in the draft lottery, they would not be interested in Giannis?

    Windbag only has a career because of Lebron. He's done once Lebron is.

    Our chance of moving up in the lottery? Not great.
    Still.

    So if the rockets move up in the lottery (which would only happen if they get a top 4 pick, or maybe a trade up), then Windhorse is saying that the Rockets will trade a top 4 pick in this year's draft (which may very well be Cooper Flagg or Dylan Harper) + some combination of current core players and draft picks for Giannis?!?!

    If there ever is a trade for Giannis with this year's pick, it's because the pick didn't move up in the lottery...

    Thunder had a top 5 player in SGA. We don't have one.

    I don't think they'll let him go for anything less than a total dismantling of our team. If I'm wrong, I'd love to have him. But I'm not trying to give them half our team when I think we're pretty close right now and we can get there with a combination of slight upgrades and internal growth from our young guys.

    It's fun to have a good team, but I'm afraid of getting caught up in the hype. We have so many more shots in the draft to get a star with the Suns and Mavs picks and still maintain a 50-win quality team. Unless the perfect star trade comes along, I'd be hesitant to give up all of our assets for them. Giannis is a beast but I could see us in a similar situation as the Bucks if we pay full price for Giannis.

    Agreed. I’d rather try to keep everyone and keep developing them.

    Giannis is going to pick where he goes.
