Giannis could be looking to force his way out of Milwaukee if things don’t improve, Giannis has told people Miami/Brooklyn are preferred destinations.

Houston and OKC are the only teams I think can make compelling offers for Giannis.

I'd be shocked if Presti tried a blockbuster but Houston could offer both Phoenix firsts, a couple of their own and Amen Thompson, Jalen Green and another young guy.

Been saying this for months. MIL's impending crashout is the most important x-factor for this offseason.

Dame returning (assuming there's no malpractice) is for the best, because the worst would've been another "well, such n such was injured so we can't really say it was a failure yet." If they get packed up by IND in round 1, it is a failure.

OKC would probably have to falter in round 2 to LAC/DEN for them to seriously consider Giannis, which leaves Houston. Though not necessarily the greatest fit in the world.

All these lateral trade scenarios lol. Giannis going to bulls, nets, raptors puts him in the same 6-8 spot in the conference.
6-8 on the way up is a hell of a lot better than 6-8 on the way down

fact is a lot of 'right now' squads don't even have the flexibility or picks for that kind of move currently

I agree if Giannis was in his 20’s. But he’s not getting any younger and this is the first playoffs in 2yrs he’s actually been healthy and playing.

He needs to be on a contender, whether these contenders flame out and pull the trigger on a blockbuster remains to be seen.

I think a a real good destination for him would be pacers. They probably the 2nd best in the east only behind Celtics, with him it can catapult them above celts

this post is kinda trying to make it about the celtics. MIL lost this series

The last time they won a series was against CHI in 2022. Show them, not Boston. This makes no sense


This post is Exactly about what the Tweet said, Giannis hasn't won a playoff GAME since 2022 (0-7). Celtics happen to be the last opponent Giannis got a W against.

Where did you get the idea this is about making it about the Celtics?


Giannis wants to win, not play in a small market for another Milwaukee. The contenders that burn out in the playoffs this year will be his requested destinations.


Rockets should be all in on BOTH Giannis, KD/Booker sweepstakes and Even if they don't get Giannis try for Dame (if Giannis is gone so is Dame) would be a good Upgrade over FVV.

Put Giannis on the Knicks and he's the face of the league. Brunson is the fifth best selling jersey in the NBA and he's nowhere near the star power of Giannis. Trade Kat and some pieces. Knicks fans will erect a statue before the season even starts.

The Celtics Twitter, and the fact that they’re showing a series that he lost instead of the last series he won, which was against chicago
