Wonder if Pelicans would move Zion for him. Would be wild but put Giannis on that team and they’re instantly a top 3 team. 

Not in a million years (unless an extension is already agreed upon, but Giannis would def test FA). The Pels are trying to build something sustainable, one year of Giannis ain't it.

I think the Bucks just need to do whatever tf it takes to trade for CP3. That's their last resort. And then pray he's healthy come playoffs.

When you are a small market team who has a star like Giannis, you don’t trade him, they are closer to a championship next year with him than they will be for the next 10 years if they trade him. You risk losing him for nothing before you trade him for something that’s not gonna make you a contender. 

Depends how the season is going. If they’re winning <60% of their games approaching the deadline*, and Giannis is going to test FA, you might as well try to get what you can. Mid season package won’t be grand or anything, but better than nothing.

*If the 60 win 1 seed Bucks that dominate regular season can’t reach Finals, what hope would there be for ~50 win squad?

 

Hopefully, for sake of league, he stays. Just needs better players around him, maybe a new coach. Not like Bucks have been run incompetently like Pelicans w/ AD. Not to mention Giannis hasn’t been playing to his standards this series. Certainly not some hopeless situation.

Utah receives: Khris Middleton 

Milwaukee receives: Mike Conley, #23 pick 

Conley played well in the postseason and gives them a secondary shot maker that can make plays off the bounce. Conley is also on the last year of his deal so it gives the Bucks cap flexibility to try and add another star in free agency or if Giannis moves on they can start a major roster overhaul quickly.

It's not a hopeless situation but they have over $200M tied up into Middleton, Bledsoe, and Lopez over the next three seasons. It's going to be almost impossible for them to acquire another All-Star level player.

Giannis + Middleton for KP, THJ, Dwight Powell, Delon, Kleber, DFS, Brunson, Cash, Prospects Selected This Year, 1st Round Pick, Pick Swaps, 2nd Round Picks,  and anything else to make the financials work.

Mavs should then be able to get some players on the cheap who'd be willing to join Luka + Giannis for some championship runs.

LFG!!!

My first suggestion.. 

Trade Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart + 1st rd 14 for Giannis as a rental.. If he agrees to re-sign, then all 3 first included..

the Bucks start the re=build with some very good young pieces.

Boston gets a lineup of

R Williams center

Giannis and Tatum forwards.

Hayward and Kemba..

No dice. If we're trading Giannis to Boston, I want my son in the deal.
