I would do Thompson, Sengun, and Adams along with a pick. I would play a Giannis, KD,Smith,Reed, and Eason are my 5. Giannis is the bully, KD and Reed the snipers, Eason and Jabari fill in the boxes. Sign a couple of wings, keep Okogie, and a couple of bigs and run it for 3 yrs. After that, re evaluate. Other than that, we're wasting our time.
I would give up three 1sts. Gotta sign shooters in FA. I probably would try to trade Amen for a top 10 pick and draft a PG then sign a vet shooter in FA.
This would still fail because in this case we don't have a starting caliber stretch 5, which Giannis absolutely requires. He is not a center and does not want to be a center. It does make some sense to just do Sengun and Amen if we're going down this stupid path (I would NOT add any draft picks if they're getting both players) but we absolutely would need a follow-up trade for a stretch 5, or maybe Myles Turner in the deal. I think this trade would promptly blow up in our faces though. I think Giannis and/or KD would get hurt and we would be a first round exit next season, and I think after that the window would basically be closed. I guess if we're sending both Amen and Sengun we would retain our draft hoard and would at least be able to rebuild again right away. I'd still rather not though, if we're that out on our best two young players we should just go get draft picks for them.
Kings & Hornets supposedly have had talks on a Sabonis trade. Get Sengun in there and get the 14 & 18 picks this year
No matter what Stone does, it will likely not lead to a championship as the Rockets are depending on an unlikely breakout from at least one of the young guys as it is. I'm not opposed to a Sengun for Giannis trade. I would not send Milwaukee both of Amen and Sengun. The media was wrong by essentially 2 FRPs (or equivalent) last season for Durant (JSJ, Reed were basically worth a FRP in my book and the speculation was 3 of Reed, JSJ, and/or picks). I was over by one. Media is speculating Herro, Ware, 3 FRPs and matching salary for Miami. If Houston trades for Giannis, I'm expecting Sengun and 1-2 FRPs (or equivalent). That would allow the Rockets to still have the juice to build a roster to work with Giannis. Odds are, that roster doesn't win, but it is better than the trade KD, but not actually a rebuild plan. If Bucks want more, they will have to go elsewhere. Correct. If the Rockets are not willing to consider trying to win with Amen and Sengun, they should bust it up. Getting rid of vets for picks unitl Amen's 6th and Sengun's 8th is not trying to me. Going for a rebuild is not a bad plan. I'd still prefer to see what the young guys do this season as I don't think the pick(s) that could be acquired for Durant are worth enough not to see another season of the young guys.
Lol, what are the Knicks gonna offer? Towns How many picks do they even have atm? this Giannis trade saga has been the most dragged out sh*t in recent memory
Put this under just as believable as Durant getting injured and totally rehabbing during Game 3 behind a curtain just out of view.
??? Giannis is in the last year of his deal. I think it is perfectly believable that the Bucks are crapping their pants because the offers are not close to what the media thinks Giannis is worth, and are hoping New York can be used to scare up better offers.
That isn't what the tweet said. The tweet is focused on what the Bucks will do. There is absolutely no reason for the Bucks not to wait until after the Finals.
