I don’t think they would be favorites or anything but Giannis can be the best player in the world at any given day, so it automatically means something. The arbitrary rankings and supporting casts made people put him to 4, 5, 6, 7 etc. But the difference between the top 4-5 is pretty much nonexistent, it probably changes every month. I don’t know the exact package that they would be sending out but they could have a really good squad around Giannis compared to what he had in recent years, and that might just be enough, especially with the coach they have.

Though I agree that its annoying and at this point I won’t care that much until I see the official tweet

Until it does. Nobody was panicking when they traded Kat to NY, now y’all are balling, same thing. The first season the hypothetical team of Bam and Giannis and nobodies would strike fear into exactly no one. Different thing once they get complementary pieces around em.

Herro to the Pistons matters to me though in fairness, I’ve been stressed out because some people are saying Stew, Holland and #21 which is an insane overpay unless someone like JJJ comes with him in the deal

You don’t? Clippers have Garland and the best players 5-9 are all small guards. Brown is squarely in his prime, why tf wouldn’t the Clippers want him? The Clippers don’t have the assets to do a tear-down rebuild correctly.

Atlanta I definitely see the argument that they would rather build slowly than star hunt, though I wouldn’t rule it out completely

Yea lol. The Bucks want Boston to get into a bidding war against themselves. The 13th pick means cause Jaylen nets better than that. Stein purposefully left out that one team is trying to ship Herro

Do you guys (Celtics fans) want to break up Brown and Tatum for Giannis? Am I crazy for thinking that I’d keep Brown/Tatum? I know Giannis is incredible but it’s def a gamble, right?

If i was LAC id absolutely trade that for brown

Can have 8 and 13 if they reroute Ware to us

Price of picks went up after the CBA rules changed, and now again with the draft rules

The hypothetical Miami offer would be 13 + unprotected 2030 and 2032 1st round picks.

Thus far, the Gobert trade has been the rights to Walker Kessler (number 22 in 2022), 16 in 2023, and 21 in 2025, with 2027 unprotected outstanding and top-5 protected 2029.

Because leverage is a bitch

then why is luka trade so cheap ? he is millions better then gobert

Multiple frp

Just because someone overpayed doesn’t mean Celtics/Miami has to

Minnesota didn’t set the baseline price for stars, they’re the outlier

Dude, he has one year in his deal…. Dumb comment.

If OKC FO was ran by redditors, yeah

Injuries were the main reason OKC didn’t repeat despite their formidable depth. It wouldn’t make sense for OKC to trade away what I presume will be multiple players and draft picks in return for injury-plagued Giannis.

They are likely to be part of any Giannis blockbuster, but not to get Giannis.

They can’t. They basically have to trade out the entire roster besides Kawhi and Garland to make that work, salary wise

That would be the funniest shit 🤣 though I will say heat fans aren’t acting as if he’s on the heat or headed this way. Guess the ones that would have been acting that way learned from the Dame saga.

The Kings need an entire overhaul… again
