it’s me, i’m the media

Shit, I want it to happen too. He’s gone anyway, and the Ant option seems the most fun.

genuine question - how would that work? would it not just be dame and giannis again but if dame was better? if they’re keeping randle or rudy (or both), how would they play alongside giannis?

im not even a wolves fan and i would love to see ant/giannis/rudy

It will be a disaster.

I just don’t see how any of these teams actually get Giannis without bankrupting themselves. Warriors have picks but nobody the bucks would want back. Minnesota and New York can’t trade their picks and Miami’s just kinda there.

Feel like it’s the opposite. Everything is being used to make Miami give everything

Miami thanks to their rumor policy are always being used.

Always the bridestrade, never the bride

If teams in the East can’t be competent, the conference seeding needs to go. Honestly, this would probably be good for fans of teams like Chicago because their front office can’t just try to back into the 8 seed with mediocrity every year.

Do we really care though if he’s gone? This team isn’t competitive for 5 years anyways if they trade him

You’re going to be bad for a while so does it really matter lol

Your ass is getting kicked enough with Giannis, I’m pretty sure without him even the Wizards will beat you belt to ass.

agreed send him to the west please.

Tatum is arguably top 15

Can’t split up the Texas teams, It should be Minnesota if anyone

Should be Minnesota imo.

All 15 teams in the Eastern Conference are east of the Mississippi.

New Orleans and Memphis are in the Western conference and sit on the Mississippi with Memphis being east of it and New Orleans mostly east but also on the west of it.

The NBA makes surprising geographical sense in that regard.

Houston should be in the east now. Change my view.

Memphis hasn’t been relocated, and New Orleans hasn’t been folded, yet.

Slightly more seriously, if anyone other than those two should be re-aligned, its Minnesota, who would then have regional rivals in Wisconsin and Chicago, like they do in other sports.

culturally speaking Houston is more “west” than “east”

If we were gonna pull a western team to the East it would probably be the Wolves.

That would be the funniest timeline

Don’t forget Nico not demanding Austin Reaves be included. Even if you don’t think he’s a fit in Dallas you get the asset and flip it later. Nico was such a moron

Nico and Rob Pelinka are secretly hooking up. The deal was done post-coital. Either that or it was orchestrated by the league. Nico literally said, “We were having coffee and started playing “What if…?”

GTFOH. In what world is that the likely truth? Two GMs of major franchises just meeting up like buds, in the middle of the season, and playing what if?

Imagine a world where the spurs get to pair Luka with Wemby and the Mavs end up with Flagg AND Harper 

I think he’s in make money mode right now.

He might join a contender on a vet minimum when he’s 38.

Well, he wouldn’t be asked to try and score 25 a game, so I am not sure how that’s relevant

It’s you that dosent know what they are talking about

The stupid bucks fans keep saying this and it’s bullshit

Nobody was expecting a Giannis trade in the summer or deadline of 2020,2021,2022. I don’t know what fucking planet you guys were on but the bucks were competing for titles at this point, the discourse was about Giannis and the bucks quest for a ring not a trade

Rumors went around of course between talking heads in 2023 before his extension because the bucks future was already looking bleak and then once the extension was signed and they traded for Lillard trade talks once again stopped until the last year and especially a few months ago where the rumors have gotten real.

Who in their right mind is giving up a first for Wiggins?

Obv I get why you would do it but I think Bam Norm Wiggs and Davion the four guys you should try to keep in a Giannis trade. If you can then you’d have an elite two way starting lineup that legitimately could get out the east.

Warriors have zero good young talent, and the bucks are prioritizing that over picks and nothing else. Miami has the best package. Turner can be traded in a separate deal.

Contract dumping isn’t what Bucks need.

We need tons of young guys and picks. Salary will be irrelevant for years to come. We have to pay somebody no point in dumping.

like who?

He’ll be going to his new team for sure.

He’ll be included in any deal
