This a joke?

  1. Absolutely not lmao
    So if ANYTHING happens to Giannis in this deal the hawks will be screwed through 2031…

  2. Take away the 2031 and maybe. I don’t like give up picks that far into the future- it generally doesn’t work out for franchises

  3. This sub needs to realize we aren’t getting Giannis for Kennard, KP and Risacher. He’s going to be way more expensive then you guys seem to think.

    I’m not saying you have to agree with giving up a lot, but just know it would be a lot lol

  4. I don’t see how Jalen and Giannis play together well. Jalen is legit a baby Giannis.

  5. ![gif](giphy|hlfXIRjozpvTvYFfOt)

    Jk, I feel like the whole point is to pair Trae and Giannis. They’re going to ask for far too much and bleed us for years. Giannis wouldn’t re-sign. It’s not happening lol

  6. The ol’ “all in” strategy for a 5% chance at losing to the Thunder in the Finals. I guess since the Raptors pulled it off for one title, anything is possible

  7. Giving up 7 years of future for a 30y/o? When he leaves you’re left with what exactly? A rebuild that can’t start until 2032? Ok

  8. Legit don’t see the point of gutting our team to get Giannis. Ruin our future for a team that would essentially be worse than the roster constructed around giannis in Milwaukee now?

  9. Yeah…no. Who initiates the offence, spaces the floor? Bucks also get a likely Top 5 (and quite easily top 3) pick in an insane draft this year? Thats a bit rich for my blood. I LOVE Giannis but he being 31 and relying on athleticism (also getting banged up alot more now) scares me to death. Not great outside shooting with a Daniels, NAW, JJ, Giannis, OO lineup.

  10. No, this is the going rate to get one of the best players of all time who’s still averaging 30/11/6 lmaooo. Unless he says Hawks or nothing we’re not gonna be in the trade market for him. We’d have to give up everything

  11. Jalen and multiple firsts is the floor here gang. If you can’t handle that then you can’t trade for a top 20 all time player in his prime

  12. Giannis to ATL doesn’t work with having Trae or a player like Trae around so, all of this is just huff.

  13. Trae, Zac & 4 1sts? That’s it? Yes, yes, yes, OMG YES! And I’m the biggest Trae fan in the world.

  14. How close could you get to Giannis trade with KP, OO, and Risacher plus all those picks, especially this year’s pick likely top 6? The numbers work with salary.

    Will there be a better offer than that from other teams?

    It’s better than NYK offer with KAT or OG

    It’s better than Houston offer unless they’re giving Sengen which they will not do

    Castle and picks from SA is a good offer but I’m not sure he makes sense with Wemby at all

    Not sure why the Bucks would want Kuminga and Draymond but if they do we can be a third team for Draymond.

    I could see the Raptors giving a haul but that’s about it.

    Hawks would have to pay the tax but I don’t see why not with that roster

    Onsi doesn’t seem like an overpay kind of guy and trading all those picks plus Trae seems like overpay tbh even though it might be “fair value” for Giannis

  15. If Giannis was about 5 years younger I make this move, but hes a guy on the wrong side of 30 that is extremely reliant on this athletic ability and just went to the floor with a calf problem.

    He’s just not worth it because I don’t think he moves the needle enough with this team to beat the Thunder.

  16. As much as I’d love to see Giannis in a Hawks jersey, let’s take a step back and remember that basically none of the teams that have made a big move like this in the last decade have wound up winning a ring. The Raptors pulled it off with Kawhi, and the Lakers got their bubble championship after signing LeBron and making a big deal for AD, but besides that? Every team that’s won in the last decade did it almost entirely via homegrown draft picks and savvy FA signings.

    OKC is probably the best example of this. They tried to win now by bringing in PG13 and Melo to play with Russ. They got exactly nowhere with that, nuked the whole thing, hoarded draft picks, developed their young talent, and brought in solid, but not elite veterans. They sucked for a couple years, now they’re champions coming off back to back years as the 1 seed.

    Meanwhile, the Clippers forked over 5 first round picks, a couple of pick swaps, and SGA in exchange for PG13. Even pairing him with Kawhi, they never got past the WCF, now they’re complete ass with a very real chance of having the #1 pick this year – which will go straight to OKC.

    You also didn’t see Boston, Denver, or Milwaukee ship off piles of picks for a star to win, either. I’m not saying there’s no way a Giannis trade doesn’t work out, but I don’t like the odds. The Hawks have a bright young core and I’m worried they’ll screw it all up by trying to take a shortcut like that.

  17. I was hoping this was here. Smoking good crack over at ESPN because this is beyond nuts. The story goes that Giannis is going to pick his destination and Milwaukee will try to accommodate. We can just say no to all the wild offers and let them figure it out up there
