Should of came to Miami

Trash organization tried to spite Miami by doing an under the table deal for dame. Ended up ruining his career and losing Giannis. Back to the depths of hell where they belong
There’s a special place in hell for Joe Cronin for refusing to trade him to Miami purely out of spite.

Bucks can Call OKC, Houston, Boston and get a better package. OKC Have the young players, Draft picks and are title contenders, Houston has the young players, draft picks and are Title contenders, Celtics own all their picks except 2029 first round and have good players + salaries to match and are title contenders. You're not pulling that trade off with RJ Barrett as a centerpiece.
Bucks are in a really weird spot.

Let's say that they rationalize it's time to trade Giannis(they're not a contender anymore or he asks out). They still don't have control of their own pick until 2031 due to the Dame trade so doing a full out tank isn't beneficial to them - they're going to want back parts/young players to compete now plus picks. OKC or Houston are the only two spots that make sense IMO

Him being 30 make this more likely in my opinion. Would a team like Miami or the Bulls have the time to build a contender around? I don't think so.
Nope and he would be in the same situation as he is now but with more scrutiny because hes in a larger market

Milwaukee happily takes both offers and runs because that's robbery. Even if Milwaukee wanted to bottom out they'd have to accept this. Cleveland and OKC would be way too short sighted to attempt this, especially Cleveland.
Would you agree both teams would be better with Greek than without him. In 5 years would they win 2 or 3 ships espeically OKC. Him and Shai

I think it is breh, he's 35 in a few months. He was already a shell of his former self and now with an achilles injury. Look at klay, look at kobe

Kobe bryant tore his achilles Apr 14 at the age of 34
Dame lilliard tore his achilles Apr 27 at the age of 34
Chauncey retired a few dames after recovering from his. He was a year older though.

I don’t understand the raptors talk. They have assets, but would have nothing left over. Gotta have both

Unless Giannis tanks the market by demanding 1 place, the clear beat spot is Houston. Houston is so deep they could offer up a godfather package and still have a contender left over

Bucks get: Jalen green, Jabari Smith, Tari Eason, FVV ($), picks
Rockets get: Giannis

Who says no?!

Reed Sheppard
Amen Thompson
Dillon brooks/ Cam whitmore
Giannis
Sengun

Amen would become a star. And I’m high on Cam and Reed Shepard
The only logical way. KD better ask out now or Giannis will take this spot.

Can Memphis pull it off? Heat makes no sense. Nets has room and a few picks but no players. Kicks would have to flame out this round to think about trading KAT and Bridges for Giannis. Orlando still needs shooting if they were to try to pair Giannis with Paulo.

Houston is the only team where both teams win.
