    would milwaukee turn down jimmy butler plus every single pick and swap the warriors have?

    i'd take it if i'm the bucks. i'd push for an expanded deal, though:

    Will a team pull a Toronto with Kawhii and say f*** it let's get him and go for the title?

    Giannis is in a very similar boat to Kawhii with his contract situation he can say no to any extension and become a FA

    Is be interested is I was the Bucks: Gianni's is past 30 been injured a bunch, Green looks old, and Curry is 37. Real chance you can pull Celics/Nets type.draft haul if one or both go down

    that's what i'm saying. and gs gets a legit title shot this year and probably next. after that, they're kinda screwed, anyway, as curry will eventually retire.

    Last year we traded for Luka the night we won @NY. We're @NY on Sunday, would be crazy if they get Giannis around then this year.

    I have a feeling Miami gets him before the deadline.

    I got it to work with Giannis to MIA, Rozier/Gabe/Maxi/Dalton/Thiero to MIL and Wiggins to us, but that's a 1 for 5 trade for Milwaukee that seems very unrealistic.

    That's a good question. I wonder if the rest of the league is as down on Kat as the Knicks seem to be. I'd probably prefer OG if I were looking to make a deal but it really comes down to what kind of draft capital the Knicks can package along with a player.

    I don't think they have much after the bridges and OG trades. Knicks kind of suck as trade partners if you're going to rebuild mode unless 3rd or even 4th teams starts giving assets for those Knicks roleplayers
