    Hear me out cry babies.

    I don’t think this team is built around Sengun properly. We’re missing a legit go 2 scorer who can dominate late. After KD leaves, are we seriously sticking with the same squad?

    Sengun isn’t going to turn into Jokic. You trade guys when their value is highest.

    Giannis is the answer.

    There’s a random trade thread for dumb trade ideas.

    Yeah let’s trade for 32 year old Giannis who isn’t even carrying the Bucks to a play-in spot in the East.

    And then pair him up with Amen. We’ll be rebuilding again in 2 years.

    I hate this fan base sometimes.

    Trade amen reed & Jabari as well for another 30 something star. It’s worked so many other times in the past.

    What does that have to do with your thread topic, Sengun only played 1 minute in the game lol

    Giannis isn't the answer anymore than Anthony Davis would be. Wrong side of thirty, injuries keep piling up, defensive decline has dropped him below true MVP status.

    We're not going to be able to trade Sengun for a better player anywhere near young enough for it to make sense. Close it up

    How long do you think Giannis is going to be a top 5 player in the league? Like how many more years? Also keep in mind he's already missed 14 games this year. How long do you think he'll be healthy and available?

    I'm against trading for him but he will be top 5 much longer than sengun's 0 years

    You've been saying this in every thread. Why do you need to start a thread to say this again, Giannis?

    Based on how he's aged so far my guess is he'll be around a top 5 level for 3 years after this one, and then top 10 for 2-3 more. He's aging better than KD did (mainly because of the achillies) so barring a major injury he looks like a good bet for about 5 years.

    No, hard pass. I really think we should keep the 2027 picks (atleast the nets one).

    If so, it wont happen until next offseason so we can unload that scrub Jabari Smith contract -> will be making $23M next season
    Sengun ($35M) + Jabari ($23M) will equal Giannis ($58M)
    The Bucks can have our less desirable first picks at our discretion...

    Sengun will never be a top 5. I’ll take 66 games a year.
