The supposition that you would have to gut the team is what is unrealistic. 5 good picks like we have and a 22 year old all-star is a very good return for a 31 year old superstar that wants out. If the Rockets want Giannis and Giannis wants the Rockets, he is ours for either Sengun/Green, filler and the Phoenix picks, the NJ Swap, and the Dallas pick. No one will beat that package and the Rockets should not give more and may get away with keeping one of the picks.
I think some people like to BUILD While Harden was a Trade . .. i felt like we did alot of building to get where we were We love the idea of homegrowns Loved the Francis Mobley era for that reason We swung for BIG NAME twice and netted us NOTHING (Burgerkley and TWack - LOL) Alot of people are not too keen on losing young talent for ends up being a lateral move at best Rocket River
I'm sorry but you do sound like a Jalen stan, which is perfectly OK. You think Sengun probably holds more value than Jalen on the market. He's definitely more valuable...
I just don't care for Fake-Humble Brag Giannis Who do we kick off to make room for Thanatos? Rocket River
The thunder could easily beat that package. They have like 20 first round picks. Green and picks is a no brainer. Sengun and picks just leaves Giannis here playing with no star and he will leave us in free agency.
Common sense to a fool is not the same as common sense. Sorry Giannis is not worth Alp and what else it would take to get him. Alp has arguably the highest upside on the team with Amen.
I'm a Rockets fan, specifically Houston fan. No loyalty to any one player. Jalen? Tradeable. Sengun? Same. Amen? That’s the guy they’re building around. You don't have to like it. Keep being angry. But that's your reality.
Sengun isn't completely untouchable, but the most I would give up is Sengun and like 2 FRP. You want to add Giannis to a team of stars or soon to be stars, otherwise we are just trading to be Milwaukee West. If you're giving up sengun, you're giving up a huge asset so you would want to keep like half of our high-value picks for future flexibility to keep our window open. I'd much much rather trade everyone else except for Amen and Sengun, plus all of our picks, and try to keep the starting 5 NBA level.
Do your research. OKC has NO good picks and they aren’t giving up SGA, Williams, or Chet. They can’t/won’t beat the package i laid out. Would any team want 10 late round picks over 5 likely lottery picks? Maybe dumbass Mavs.
All of your posts are obviously beyond idiotic, but I'd at least respect you and your opinion if you had the courage to post them from your main account. You're nothing more than a laughing stock posting all these from your burner, lol.
No, not because Sengun is better than Glannis or how much better Sengun can be in the future. Glannis is a better player than Sengun and probably now and the future. That being said, I don't want my team keep worrying your star player leaving every two years, and you have to keep doing bad trades to satisfy him. Also, after we gave up the whole farm to get Glannis, the remaining rosters is not good enough to win the west, unless some people naive enough to think the Bucks will do Sengun and Glannis straight up trade. That's not going to happen, they don't have Nico Harrison as their GM. The year Glannis got the title was very long ago, and after that he didn't go very far into the playoff. Let's do one at a time. extend FVV to a longer and cheaper contract, find a SG who can put the ball into the basket, extend Adams, run it back and see how it goes. Whether trading Green depending how much we can still get. 30m+ contract is tradable in the current NBA, there's no need to panic.
Sengun, Amen, and Giannis will not fit unless Amen or Sengun develop a 3 point shot. So if you are confident one of them will do so, then other guys could be in the package for Giannis. I’m not sure whether I want to make the trade of Sengun and 5 picks for Giannis, but I think it would get it done. I’m not sure 2 shooter (Jabari, Jalen?) along with 3 non-shooters would work, even if the non-shooters are individually super starts.
Using some of the same logic used in this thread, why wouldn't OKC give up Chet. He will never be an all world, Mvp, humble player that caliber of Greek Freak. And Williams can't carry a team the way Giannis would. SGA and Giannis would rule the nba! back to back to back to back. Chet can't even stay healthy long enough
I think if you trade for Giannis one of Alpi and Amen are definitely gone in the deal; if I'm the Milwaukee front office, I would hold firm on getting at least one of those two, or he goes to another team. So then you're looking at a team with two non-shooters and three mediocre-to-decent shooters. To me that offense is not going to win a title, even if it ends up being the #1 defense in basketball. Jabari and Dillon fit, but I'm not so sure on Fred, Jalen, Tari, etc. I think if you're serious about winning a chip with Giannis you'd need subsequent moves for better shooters. Trae Young? Coby White? Tyler Herro? Collin Sexton? Derrick White? There are some possibilities out there. If we were to go this direction I want to see them take it seriously and do everything they need to win right now. Otherwise it makes zero sense. High likelihood Giannis is already past his peak and will no longer be a top 5 player after a few more years at most.
If it’s a one for one, I would consider it. But Giannis is a flawed star that can’t carry a team. I would rather build organically around the best young center in the league
I don't have another account on this message board. I'm not posting under any other name. What I have seen from you, though, is a steady stream of personal jabs. I've been called a dumbass, a fraud, a laughing stock, all because I said Sengun isn't untouchable. That’s not exactly a reasoned debate. Maybe ease up on the personal insults. It's just basketball talk, after all.
