What’s the most you’d all give up for Giannis if he demands a trade?
Booker’s going nowhere, and I don’t think the Bucks would accept a package without him.
What did the Clippers give up for Paul George?

The rockets for Westbrook?

The celtics for Kyrie?

The Lakers for AD?


None of them got a DBook in return.

I’m curious who could offer a better deal than us. Ayton/Oubre/Picks.

Philly could offer something built around Simmons or Embiid.

People talk about GS, but they don’t have anything to offer.

I guess the Thunder could put together quite an offer with all their picks.

Come on. This is Giannis. If you have a chance to pair him with Booker you do it. Worry about keeping him later.
Agreed.

I don't think that's true. Wiggins and the #1 pick is a very solid foundation for an offer.

Darius Miller's 20-21 salary is non-guaranteed. So the Suns could trade Rubio for Lonzo Ball and Darius Miller and shave $6 million off their payroll.

Hernangomez has the skillset and IQ, but not the athleticism and couldn't crack the Hornets' rotation.
I have liked Hernangomez for awhile. He would be a nice pickup.

Is it better than Ayton and #10? I still don’t really believe in Wiggins. I think he could be pretty good as a 3rd option to Steph and Klay, but he’d be going back to 1st option/2nd option with Milwaukee. He’s also expensive.

The #1 pick is nice and they do have the 2021 Minny pick as well, I’d just want some actual, proven, nba talent coming back if I trade Giannis. Wiggins doesn’t do it for me. I’m not sure Ayton really does either though.

Exactly. Ayton has some nice stats, but ultimately, that's about it. Obviously, there is potential there for a lot more, which makes a package built around him appealing, but I think the same is true for what the Warriors can put together. Ultimately, it would come down to Milwaukee's preference.

Ya I see that. The draft capital from GS is much better. Ultimately, I think it’s much more likely Milwaukee makes a play to keep Giannis. I mentioned CP3 earlier, I think they’ll do something like that.

I think you mean the #2 pick, right?

I would think Ayton and Oubre would be a much more attractive package than that.

Wiggins on a max contract is a big negative and the #2 is from what is considered one of the weakest drafts in recent memory (when it comes to the top). If I am MIL, this package doesn't offer me any consolation.

I like to believe that James Jones wouldn’t consider trading Oubre and Ayton (picks aside) for Wiggins and the #2 ourselves, so probably Milwaukee hang up on them at soon as GS finish their sentence.

No pinches forthcoming. Keep dreaming for now. You’ll wake up eventually.

When it happens, let me know.
Still waiting for Kobe and T-Mac to collaborate in Phoenix (remember that rumor?)

Nice way to put it, spot on.
