I'm not saying trading for Giannis would be the right move, but it'd be a fun one

Z and Herb with filler works salary wise, add the 1sts and crippling us would be terrible, but...
If we somehow found a way to pair Giannis with Trey and kept Fears and Queen, how far do you think we could make it in the playoffs?

We’d become a scary 7 seed

No idea how good we'd be just, just do it. I will take anything to get me excited about this team again. Running it back will be painful. This was the least amount of Pels basketball I've watched in my entre life and I will watch zero Pels basketball next year if it's the same lineup.

I’d try to get Myles Turner too something like
Pels- Giannis, Turner
bucks- Their Pick rights, Zion, Poole, Looney, Hawk (Add more picks)
PG- Dejounte/ Fears
SG-Bey(Shooting)/ Mcgowens
SF- Trey/ Herb/Peavy
PF- Giannis/ Queen / Matkovic
C- Turner/ Missi/ Jordan

He’s not leaving Milwaukee to come to the Pelicans. We could probably offer more but as much as he has done for that franchise I’m sure they will send him somewhere that he can win. A big market team I’m sure

A Hard Pass!!!
Milwaukee gets our best player and Williamson along with draft capital. In return, we get a ball dominant, oft-injured 31-year-old All-Star who has played as many as 70 games only once since the '18-'19 season. And we are going to team that up with our 'Kiddie Corps'. No Thanks!!
Trading for Davonte' Graham by using draft capital and then trading Davonte' Graham by attaching draft capital should have taught us something.
- and if not -
Trading for Derik "Two-fer" Queen should have.
DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!!

Why would the Bucks do this?
"You could become the 25-26 Pelicans and all you'd have to do is give us Giannis and Tuner."

I’m guessing b/c they’d control their pick then.
It’s why it was borderline retarded trading the Pacers pick so early. We could have extracted much more from then had we waited…

I think he narrowed he destination to the two NY teams. Just FYI .

I believe that is just speculation tied to being the shortest flights to Greece while staying in the East (easiest path to Finals).
Giannis wants more rings. So whatever gets him there, is what he wants. Even if that means joining a super team.
I actually think the Pelicans have some potential if they really wanted to go all in for Giannis. But it's nothing like the packages suggested here. If I'm the Bucks, I want Poole (expiring), Missi, Queen, Fears, my picks/swaps back, plus all the picks/swaps the Pelicans can include. The only teams beating that kind of package are the Thunder and Spurs (maybe the Rockets). I don't think we'd do that. But it's a pretty solid starting 5 (Murphy, Bey, Murray, Williamson, Giannis)..

thats the kind of trade I can see Dumars making and me melting down over for sure

He'd refuse to come here and everyone knows it.

Nothing would surprise me. When you trade up for Queen with an unprotected pick - going forward anything can happen.
Dumars was super aggressive with the Pistons 20+ years ago with trades and free agency (and he won). Unfortunately he will do it again.

Bucks not interested in Zion and that ludicrous contract but they would be interested in Queen and Fears. Trading our young talent for an aging player would not be fun! As previous poster pointed out you never know with Dumars . He can get aggressively stupid.
