Domantas and Giannis might not be impossible for us

I wouldn't say no chance. He won a title in Milwaukee. Getting Turner likely buys Milwaukee a year. Next summer they'll have two unprotected picks and an unprotected swap available to trade for an all-star level or near all-star level sidekick.

But yes if they ever explore trading him were the #1 trade partner either directly or as a third team.

Might actually be even better for our picks if they hold out a few more years. If Giannis has a decline all the sudden Giannis well into his 30s on a supermax with little shooting could have his trade value plummet. Today they could get a haul to rebuild with him. In a number of years similar to an aging Kobe they might just be stuck with him.

 

Let's say Bucks season is terrible and they pivot to trade Giannis during the season. What would be the offer we'd make?

With Jrue here and Dame interested in signing would we send out Scoot?

Grant, Scoot, Murray

Picks we can send out is potentially a massive haul
5 FRP unprotected
4 unprotected swaps built in to picks
2 unprotected swaps

2028 unprotected Orlando
2028 unprotected Blazers(with swap)*
2029 unprotected (with 2x swaps)
2030 unprotected (with swap)
2032 unprotected
2027 unprotected swap
2031 unprotected swap

*conditional on making 2026 playoffs

Clingan Yang
Giannis Timelord
Deni Thybulle
Camara Sharpe
Jrue Dame

 

Thats an amazing offer for the Bucks. Returns all their FRP except for 2026 (sunk cost) and 2027 swap (not costly as NOP are horrible too). Gets them a great young player to build around in Scoot.

Zero chance they look at this today but if they're season goes horrible or more likely next summer - I guess you never know.



Still I ultimately expect they play out this year - try to flip their 2030+2032 picks to bring in a Giannis sidekick instead.

Never know from the Blazers end. While its salivating to daydream of adding Giannis now when he just finished 3rd in MVP - he might have a rapid decline in effectiveness very soon. This trade idea might look more like a Paul George to the Clippers disaster in a half decade. The Blazers may be far better off to just continue with all the assets they have.

Seems like stars well into their 30's almost never live up to the hype. For every LeBron and CP3 theres 5x as many Wade and Melo's.

 

It’d for sure have to start with:

Scoot
Clingan
Trove of 1RP

Deni or Camara will likely have to be tossed in as
well.

The premium that the Bucks would demand will be
mind boggling.

 

So what do we call it when we just come up with trade ideas for the sake of making up trade ideas?

Etradejulation?

 

That's too steep man.

 

I personally would want to keep Clingan at C. We need a screen setting defensive big. Sabonis is a liability on that end.

This post is pretty wild. There is no scenario where we get Giannis while keeping Scoot and Shae. They would BOTH go and I would be all for it. This, of course, hinges on Dame returning to form.

 

I think we can keep both Deni and Camara in a trade for Giannis. Scoot and Shae would go though.

 

would you trade Giannis for Scoot and Shae?

Would you trade Scoot and Shae for Sabonis?

 

I think the Bucks would ask for Camara or Clingan, Scoot and picks.

 

Giannis ain't on my team demanding a trade. He hasn't said what his preferred destination is.

If he was and said he wanted to be traded to a specific team (Blazers) I would do my best to honor the wish of a guy who brought us a championship.

I would want young players with potential and 1st round draft picks. Blazers have just that.

 

How about we also raise Walton from the dead and have OHS give Zombie Bill bionic knees and feets to play beside Giannis? I'm on board with that. I haven't figured out that trade machine thing yet but I think trading Khris Murray for Flagg would be smart. If Cronin doesn't do this he's an idiot

We might have to throw in a pick swap and some salary flexibility?

 

If we didn’t win immediately, I think you’d regret that trade. In 5 years, Scoot and Sharpe are much better than Giannis. Like trading SGA for Paul George.

 

Somebody explain this please.

 

It needs no explanation. It won't happen.

 

Kinda meant "explain it to him". Somebody who might not be blocked.
