    Basically all of our picks + Jabari + Reed + Tari + FVV (if he waive no trade) to make it happens. I don’t think it’s worth all that to bring Giannis who’s gonna age like Westbrook when he loose first step. We already tried with Westbrook and seen how fast he fallen off when he’s not playing for the team tailor made for him self

    We’re winning and we haven’t been healthy all season. When we get DFS and Tari back this is going to get nasty. Goodnight gentlemen!

    non-contact too. I imagine he might have torn achilles if he actually was trying to sprint on defense instead of loafing around.

    been playing around with the trade machine and this definitely works (post Dec 15th):

    FVV+Reed+Tari+DFS+picks

    FVV and DFS hasn't play all year so we won't really miss what we didn't see. Reed is promising in the future but Holiday has been taking his minutes whenever he plays bad. Tari has been injured and we definitely miss him but he's still going to be asking for a big payday in the off-season when we already have to pay Amen. Reed is definitely the biggest piece in this trade and he has showcased his potential so that may entice the Bucks.

    The issue is spacing if we make this trade. Starting lineup of Amen, KD, Jabari, Giannis, Sengun. With Holiday, JD, Okogie, Tate, Adams off the bench.

    Personally, I'd say we do it since we're already all-in for KD anyways and the landscape of the NBA does not look good for us when you consider OKC is 20-1 with odds of winning the #1 overall pick the next two years because of the Clippers. I don't think our team currently takes OKC in 7, we probably even struggle against the Nuggets.

    Is Don Corleone part of Rockets front office nowadays? I don't see why Bucks would accept such an offer otherwise.

    1. FVV has a no trade clause. How you even play that on the trade machine?
    2. We cant afford the salary of Sengun, Jabari, Adams, KD, Amen post extension and Giannis. Just run the maths thats already over the 2nd apron.
    3. Thats a garbage haul for Bucks they dont want old players like DFS and FVV and they have Ryan Rollins who is like their Reed Sheppard.

    How dare you speak of trading Reed Sheppard? You must be a Reed hater! The Sheppard anti free speech mob will pay you a visit soon. :D

    We don’t need him to shoot well against the scrubs. He needs to show up against the contenders.

    KD is just for salary. Obviously it’d be 7 first round picks and KD can get routed to a third team. But it would never happen cuz Rockets could never trade KD after he chose us bad look.

    It's all about picks for Milwaukee, they don't own their own and they need to do a full rebuild.

    No one is going to offer them a 1A player in their prime or before their prime and neither should we.

    Giannis is a 6’11 version of Westbrook. His game will not age well into his 30’s. Hes probably got 1-2 more years at this plateau with a slow decline each year that shows up more on advanced stats than box score. But after that it’s a cliff. No shooting ability will do that to you.

    Don’t touch the current roster. We just need more reps to build chemistry.
