Depends on if they want to retool or completely rebuild. Problem is if they want a total rebuild they might ask for Flagg. I’d be very fine giving them Lauri for Giannis
Just looking at the Bucks outgoing assets a little bit, they have traded or swapped each of their firsts through 2030 with no protections as far as I can tell, so they're in a tricky spot. I guess maybe take the best package you can get from Houston including all the phoenix picks, then just try to cobble together a team that can sell tickets? Yeesh.
No. Certainly not one that can’t be beat by OKC who has assets coming out of their ears.
OKC can offer better players and more picks. They’ve been hoarding for this exact scenario.
I think the second line is the key. I suspect more than one team would be willing to give up blue chip prospects to get him. OKC could give up Jalen or Chet with the logic that they cant afford their team in the long term with Giannis, SGA and both of those two in the roster.
No doubt you are right, but I could see a world where OKC just wants to roll with what they have (especially if they win it all this year) and use their assets to help them retool the roster as it gets more expensive rather than go all in on two super-max players who take up most of their cap.
Lmao. If you can grab a top 3 player in the NBA while keeping Lauri (top 30) and Cooper (potentially top 20 player within 4 years) then you do it and it's the "right way".
