    I just think it’s funny that people think that GMs that have been in the industry for decades and have way more information and data than we will ever have are simply thinking Giannis is a game changer because he won a championship once… like the idea is so silly

    If you actually watch basketball the dude is an absolute force on both sides. Can lock down anybody 1 on 1, plays tremendous help defense, can typically get his shot off at will and passes better than anyone on our team … I’m not saying it’s 100% no-brainer to trade Alpi for him but it’s definitely not off the table and he does everything alp does and more so if him and draft picks are the main components then we would be significantly better

    1 Dimensional run and dunk man isnt worth what the Bucks are going to want for him. Also locks your team down offensively. Also we'd have to get all of our teammates helmets to wear during practice. No thanks.

    The East is wide open. You got Cleveland and the Knicks up there. Boston doesn't know how Tatum is going to respond in games after the injury. It's possible the Bucks could make it to the finals. The price would be too high this season for the Rockets unless he asks to be traded to Houston, but it'd probably be in the best interest of Giannis to stay put for now.

    The Rockets are good but the West is a lot more competitive. You got OKC, the Lakers , Minnesota, Denver, Clippers, Dallas(?), you still have to worry about the Warriors and you can't sleep on the Spurs either if Wemby stays healthy.

    Let's just hope the Bucks get off to a real rough start and he asks out with the Rockets as his preferred designation. Let's also hope Stone would somehow be able trade him him without including Sengun, cause the man just turned 23 years old. There aren't many who can stop him, including Giannis, and he's only getting better.
