They don't have anything to trade.

Timberwolves trying to get a four team deal going to get Giannis.

 

[Chris Craig]

What the hell do the Heat have to offer for Giannis?

 

[Chris Craig]

Sounds like Minnesota is Giannis's #1 desired destination. He wants to play with Edwards. The Timberwolves don't want to give up Jaden McDaniels which has been a sticking point and are trying to get a four team deal going to get Giannis without having to move Daniels.

If that’s the case you’d think Portland would still be involved. I wonder who the 4th team would be? Utah? Would we get Markkanen?

Their offer is so bad! 26 swap is dumb, since they're better than the Bucks. Bucks don't even have a pick in '29 to swap. It's so light compared to any others, unless the Bucks are enamored with Ware, who has been getting benched in Miami. Great centerpiece for your star, Christian Wood 2.0

The Bucks sent counter offers, so they probably want other players. Wiggins or Jaquez Jr. Miami not going to give up Bam.

This forum: "WTF does Dame know? We have to keep those Milwaukee picks! They will be so much more valuable than getting one of the greatest players in the history of the game!"

I don't know. I don't really like Giannis coming west.

If Dame is “recruiting,” it must mean Bucks/Blazers have a deal in place.

I'm sure he has called Giannis. Doesn't mean a deal is in place at all. Looks like all interested teams put in offers and the Bucks countered. Now, its waiting to see what teams bite. There will probably be counter counter offers and counter counter counter offers until the Bucks decide which is the best offer.

Dude. Giannis is an all time great in his prime.

To other teams. The west is already strong enough.

We call it the Dame Deal Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

The top 5 players in the NBA would all be in Western Conference. And all international players.

Thats insane

These two images came up on my newsfeed. I thought they told a pretty good story all on their own.



However this plays out, I'm enjoying the minute-by-minute updates telling me that Giannis is 100% now going to team X....

 

[KingSpeed]

I had no idea they were shopping him. Blazers interested?

Dame/Harden/Deni/Giannis/Clingan

Let’s go!

It feels great to have leverage over the Bucks right now. Dame is lobbying hard for Giannis and seems to me we have more assets to trade the Bucks than the other teams involved. They are going to want Deni probably. It's a bidding war for the next couple of days and as it is they are paying Dame's salary. We can go a lot of directions with vets and expiring's or draft capital and projects.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Did Donavan Mitchell want to go to Cleveland when he got traded? I remember he was pushing really hard for NY.

I don't want to trade Deni.

Dame, Jrue, Deni, Giannis, Clingan, Camara Sharpe

When healthy this is a contenter. Assuming Dame and Jrue aren't washed and CCS get better

I seriously just wish that we would send all of our vets out and bring more young guys in. Really commit to the core of Scoot, Shaedon, Deni, Toumani and maybe Clingan. I wouldn't mind if he was dealt for a more mobile C that fits what the rest of the team is doing.

Other than that, just better shooting, more athletic and even younger... then let that cake bake.

Heat - the package, even with the endless picks, isn't great. Miami is almost always at least a decent team and those picks won't be worth a lot. The players are mid at best.

Warriors - G not thrilled about going there as even if he won, it will still be Steph's team and his ring. Also got some not so great feedback from Durant. Warriors have very little to offer the Bucks as well although their future picks might be valuable as this team would be so old.

Timberwolves - the most (current) interest because the T-Wolves have never won a title and he would be key to bringing that city it's first ring. They don't have the best picks having sent to many to the Jazz, and not great young players with upside still to go, but that seems to be his preferred place.

Blazers - Not G's preferred place but perhaps the Bucks because of the possibility of recouping their own picks which are the most valuable picks they would get. I maintain, Portland should keep at least one and swap in one or more of their own picks. Scoot still is in the 'potential' phase even if he has struggled with injury. Shae and Tou are PPP so tough to include now but this summer might be a different thing. I don't the the Blazers are anywhere near the favorites now, but this summer might change, especially if they make the Playoffs. That is a post for another time, but it would actually help them make the deal.
