i saw that the Wolves were offered Coby White but declined so they could have cap space for Giannis. Would be incredibly dumb to do unless it was close to a done deal

Enjoy the ride man. We’re gonna miss this when it’s over.

i wish they just didnt tweet things until the parts are together. this shit just ruins two days cuz now im gonna be constantly looking at my phone for answers

As a wolves fan I’m so torn over this trade.

On the one hand it’s a no-brainer. Giannis is still one of the 10 best players on the planet and instantly becomes our best playmaker, and probably scorer. He’s a guy who can get his own offense in the post season, which is vital to our hopes of winning a title.

But he’s also 31 and assuming we sign him to an extension we’re going to own his declining years; we’re going to presumably have to annihilate our bench depth, and push ourselves into a cap situation where there will be no hope of help or adding depth. If anything, we’ll probably lose an important piece every season by trade or free agency. That means we’ll have a one or two year window to win a title.

I suppose as a wolves fan I should take that, because FFS, when has winning a title ever been a remotely realistic thing in our history? But man… it really means it’s now or never, you’re going all-in on this being the one big chance with ANT before we’re forced to trade him.

We probably have to suffer through 48 more hours of this…

“Giannis we’re good now, we have Yabusele”

That’s a weird way to spell Domantas Sabonis

It’s free real estate

Don’t kill my vibe man

I mean they reject coby white so they are kinda banking on giannis

Wolves would go from maybe 2nd round exit to maybe a WCF and get killed on depth. If they could hold onto their seeding while Giannis is still out for February

You’re seeing so many teams randomly pop-up last second in the Giannis sweepstakes. Imagine if Nico had done the same with Luka last year.

He’s listed as questionable with a thumb injury on ESPN, and was listed the same way on Monday before he played.

True I bet we just land a PG of sorts and enjoy getting off Conley

I just think we’d have to give up too much. Jaden and Naz are excellent value contracts and a huge part of the success of our system and I think both would be included in that trade. Then we’d have zero bench and horrible spacing.

Difference is Minnesota’s GM isn’t a senile 80 year old.

Our GM has a track record of big swings unlike the Heat recently. Although, usually the big moves are done in silence. We haven’t had to compete for a big time player besides KD who didn’t want to be here which makes sense because it’s Minnesota. Giannis wanting to play with Ant means we get to face off with the big dawgs.

Let’s see. I’m hoping Ant has the kinda pull LeBron has. I need Adam Silver to step in and gift us Giannis for the low. Our city needs good news rn.

Listen when you get the chance to gut your depth in February as the 5 seed to get a guy that’ll be back mid-March you gotta take it

Only if he comes here to battle ICE

Ill take it

I mean yeah the raptors traded away Kyle lowry’s best friend and won a championship 

I’ll gladly trade away my favorite coworker for Giannis Antetokounmpo

here’s your new friend Giannis

Ant was very close with Mike Conley too. They played Call of Duty together quite a bit.

I don’t think our GM is scared to do anything.

I know I’m being a homer but I’m going to be shattered if they trade Jaden. His versatility is the glue of our starters and is what allows us to play multiple coverages. He’s so important to us :(

If he does get traded I’m kinda hoping Spurs will make a move for him.

Edwards can just put him in the next adidas commercial as an apology.

They already traded away Ant’s favorite player today Bite Bite.

At least a lot of chest puffing and insider leaks for X views…

Jrue is too important to that Portland team rn and they can still make playoffs with him leading

Gotta imagine they either have contingencies lined up using their TPE, or they’re happy to just cut cost of Conley and try to avoid the tax altogether.

Because the trade brings them below the apron. It gives them flexibility to make future moves.

They can probably just get Coby White anyway added to the trade.

Don’t forget, they also have Naz Reid. There is their stretch 5.

You can stagger Giannis and Gobert with a lot of Naz Reid. Also on the Giannis-Rudy minutes you probably try to win by just shutting down the opponent instead of going crazy on offense.

I’ve seen a lot of dumb comments on Reddit…

This is one of them
