Didn’t we give up five first round pics for Rudy and we’re gonna get Giannis without giving up one?

Yeah, our cupboard is empty. No way are we landing Giannis even if Randle and Jaden were offered up.

The ONLY real shot the Wolves have is if Giannis chooses the Wolves. He is said to be an Ant fan.

I could see Giannis providing a list of desired destinations to Milwuakee. But even if Minnesota is on that list, we probably don't have as much to offer as others, especially with our latest draft picks either flailing or super unproven. But never say never I guess. One thing we know about Tim Connelly is that he will explore a deal even if we're a long shot.

Giannis out with a right calf strain. Seemed like he couldn't even get up.

Put your trades on hold for awhile...

I love Giannis but I think his body is breaking down. The assets it would take to get him, which would likely include Jaden, would be too much for Giannis at this point in his career. Teams that chase stars on the backside of their careers almost never succeed.

You know you has what it takes to get Giannis? OKC. They got all the draft capital and they’re not their own. So they wouldn’t all be late firsts.

He's hurt all the time. He's going to miss a lot of games on the back end of his career.

It might sound crazy but if you're OKC, why do this? They're on a historic pace and at this point Gannis isn't without question marks.

I agree, they are historically great and I wouldn't do anything to mess with that if I was Presti.

That being said, they are going to have a dilemma (a good problem so to speak) with all the incoming draft picks, including lottery picks. Then you have Sorber and Topic, two guys that are basically the equivalent of lottery picks that will probably be healthy and ready to play next season as well. Where will the minutes come from!?

OKC is so good they could literally spin off another franchise with a small portion of their current roster and additional draft capital while still being the best team in the NBA and their spinoff probably would be on a better trajectory than nearly 50% of the NBA. It's absolutely nuts.

And where the hell did Ajay Mitchell come from!?! How does Presti keep finding these gems?
