Ja on a hopeless Milwaukee team is not gonna go well whatsoever.

If we don’t have to give up real draft capital, it’s a very low risk, high reward move.

No matter what happens, Ja won’t decrease his value by this offseason. So his contract would be, at worst, a neutral asset that could be packaged with this years likely lottery pick, the 2031, 2033, and 2032 swap to try to improve the team around Giannis.

Or maybe he just needs a change of scenery and has a great second half of the year. Then if he shows he fits with Giannis better than expected we keep him, or he is a positive trade piece that we can use to improve the team around Giannis.

Or he’s an exciting tank commander.

I’d be fine with 28 and 30 swaps of our swaps. Where we get the least favorable of POR, MIL, MEM and MEM gets the 2nd most favorable.

Yeah for you guys because then Giannis this Summer says “I’m only signing an extension if I’m traded to NY” bye bye value

I’m kind of curious what the back half of the season is going to look like for him though

They’re already 8.5 games back from the 6 seed, by the time he returns it might be even worse.

If he doesn’t get hurt*

But I agree it was the best move by the bucks too

Are they gonna get more? He’s only gonna have 1 year left on his contract

Teams that want to blow it up for Giannis are not the same teams Giannis wants to go to.

And Warriors fans with Broken Jimmy, the Kuminga no one wants and thirty years worth of draft picks.

I promise u i had zero thought of landing giannis lol

It’s obviously gonna be miami or minny

Nice hiding behind a france flair lmao

Dalton is not a core piece

it’s fuckin hilarious

there’s been almost a decade of this shit and fans of other teams act like we don’t get to laugh at them for being wrong

fuck offffff

It’s been a very slow process but like…what signs are there that he’s staying long term? Traded today or traded in June idk what difference it makes for Bucks fans unless the packages are significantly better.

Is he even going to play again this year?? This feels A LOT like Dame in Portland, where he was always angling to leave it just took a lot longer than traditional stars.

But beyond getting to watch him play in a bucks jersey a little longer (which he’s still not going to do for a few more weeks at most) what exactly are you gaining here?

The Bucks very obviously tried to engage teams in Giannis trades, it’s not like there’s an argument here about how the org actually wants to keep him. They want to trade him. They engaged teams to try and trade him lol. I just don’t understand the celebratory “told you so!” with all that context. Sure he wasn’t traded today, but how does that materially change the situation??

Because he does this every year all throughout the year

Giannis is obviously good but when you’ve put yourself into such a shitty hole with picks cap and your star upset, you’ve lost all leverage. You need to move Giannis, bottom line

Post curry…. With Giannis. Like come on

With Giannis picks are still mid as fuck.

Kum bucket and podz suck. They have no value. 2 late steph picks are useless because fucking giannis is gonna be on the team. Essentially the bucks would’ve been trading giannis for two good picks 6 years from now.

Kum bucket and Podz? Will they throw in some garbage bags too?

Delusional take

They’ll get 5 offers better than that

They more than likely got two offers better than that from Minnesota and Miami in the last few days. No player on the warriors roster besides jimmy has value and any first in the next 4-6 years have no value because Giannis and steph will be on the team together. This is the third best player in the world on the open market when teams have more picks and are more hungry to make a move after seeing how their season ends.

How was it a good offer? Late firsts and a mess of players no one wants

4 Post-Steph Warriors picks is about as good of a future offer you can get. No guarantee Giannis stays after Steph is gone, in fact I’d argue he’s likely to turn into more of a ring-hunter after leaving Milwaukee and might even come back

Warriors offered straight trash.

These kinds of comments are ridiculous lol.

Look, I don’t think our offer was super great or anything, and I would hold off on it too if I were the Bucks.

But acting like the offer was “trash” is completely idiotic lol. The picks we were offering are genuinely valuable. 4 FRP post-Steph, especially considering that Giannis very well may move on once Steph retires too, are very meaningful assets.

They’re meaningful enough that even though I’d give them all up for Giannis in a heartbeat, it simultaneously makes me very uncomfortable bc our post-Steph rebuild could be completely wrecked by that. Those picks would instead all be yours.

So these aren’t useless assets that we’re talking about.

victory lapping like you weren’t probably pissing yourself for weeks that he was gonna get traded is hilarious lol

They could have said they weren’t trading him weeks ago but were listening to offers, so they obviously had interest in trading him

Nah this gaslighting is INSANE. Bucks fans acting like it’s all ESPN propaganda and not the words that Giannis says directly into microphones

The guy who reports all trades and rumors is from espn so yeah of course we were listening to espn the most wdym lmao
