Except a team trading with a MN Team and becoming Champions :(

Things do happen not for us :(

You jest but the nba’s biggest market team just won a title for the first time in 50 years!!

I’m curious as to the salary you’d be getting. Garland?

If it’s not Garland or Kawhi, then it’s a poo poo platter of expiring contracts

I think the Clips could make it work

Honestly wouldn’t mind this if we just got return and no giannis. But I am in the small camp of trading JB for 2-3 rotation level players/picks and building again with Tatum

Former Mavs fan - Afseth the truth.

Kawhi and JB sounds fun though

You’d be very lucky to get a player of Brown’s quality with the 5th pick.

Ya that player could be anything.. could even be as good as Jaylen Brown

The Clippers are never going to rebuild.

They’re low key Miami west in terms of always trying to compete and be relevant.

Getting a former FMVP and multiple time allstar for the fifth pick would be a steal for the Clippers 

But what if they feel it might get taken away

It’s been considered as a four person draft and they pick at 5. It’s likely the franchise cornerstone isn’t at 5.

That kind of sounds like the exact reason the clippers would do this

Bill’s burner 👀

I don’t even think of this.

Thats why I want the blazers to do it 😅

Brown is incredibly good

I agree that brown is probably better than what you would get at 5, but he’s also going to be 30 at the start of the season and it’s not like the Bucks will be competing soon. You may as well go young at that point

yeah but you might rather have a cost controlled 19 year old for four years vs a guy who’s about to be 30 when next season starts

Objectively this is a very strange take.

I mean sure but that definitely doesn’t accurately show how many good players were picked fifth recently. guys like ausar thompson, jalen suggs, darius garland, deaaron fox, and trae young all were pick 5 in the last decade. brown is better than them sure but that’s still 3 all stars and two all defense level players out of the last 9 players drafted 5th

Ehhh if we’re going this route then we should probably be looking at the last 5th-10th pick, otherwise it’s just quite noisy. Nonetheless, there’s no way the Bucks do this deal if they’re only getting the 5th pick. Especially when this draft is so loaded in the top 4. Brown is really good and way more valuable than the 5th pick. Can’t do a three-team deal where you lose your best ever player and end up with the worst outcome of the bunch.

I hate when people bring up this argument. Even if the pick doesn’t end up being as good as him, the team would have that player for a lot longer and the player would be a lot cheaper so easier to get other players

I think i have to agree with u/TrumpFucksKids_

Wdym somehow lol

Dude was top5 in mvp race first season he played as option number 1. Ofc Giannis is a much better player but to act like JB is some scrub is crazy talk.

Only if Giannis plays >60 games

I would take solace on the idea that instant superteams are no longer viable in today’s NBA and that organic team building is the new gold standard.

But we’re talking about Giannis and the Celtics here so we all might be cooked.

Except Norman Powell, Reggie Jackson, Zubac, Harden, Derrick Jones Jr, PG had his best playoff run since Indy with us, Kawhi just had his best scoring season of his career, Dunn is a real rotation player, etc , etc, etc

I’d say the Kings are becoming a better version of that.

Pick #5 overall blows pretty much anything Miami is offering as an individual asset out of the water.

Like #5 is better than a large number of picks 18 - 25 + guys who have a pretty hard ceiling like Herro and Jaime.

Its a quantity vs quality situation. 

It’s not the clippers pick anyways. It was Indianas, I highly doubt the league would strip picks that they traded for. Would most likely be future clippers picks if any punishment which I dont think Silver has the balls to punish Balmer

Hence why they are alright trading it away

It’s not happening at this point, they aren’t getting any punishment. Silver is a coward and boot licker

Yes? lol, any player picked at #5 would love to have a career as good as Jaylen’s

Is this a serious question?

yes because on average the chance a 5th pick ends up as an all nba level player is very low only ones in the last 10 years have been trae and fox with 1 each

Ummm what? He was 6th in mvp voting.

Yes

Finals MVP mf

He’s only two years removed from being the finals MVP. I would say yes.

The guy has multiple all nba and fmvp already

Giannis is worth way more than the #5 pick so obviously that’s not even an option with their assets

It would surely be pick 5 plus a lot more….for instance, pick 5 + two additional 1st round picks, and possibly a young (2nd or 3rd year during 2026-7) starting/starting level player (depending upon the perceived value of those additional first round picks).

I mean they are just trade talks and are just listing what the cornerstones of the deal would be. There’s probably some other pieces that would have to be included for salary and some extra draft capital.

He won’t be

There’s no way Caleb falls to 5, if hes there at 4 the Bulls take him. Only way the Bulls don’t take him is if he goes higher than 4
