Giannis Trade Ideas and Trade Machines 2026

[sharp leaf]

Time to start watching Kelel Ware clips

[trail wind]

its the quiet before the storm of horst doing a trade out of nowhere to get giannis help #standpat

[mystic dagger]

Is Jaden McDaniels a good enough player for us to justify this?

[idle urchin]

If he was, the Wolves would not be open to trading him

[mystic dagger]

I think I've said this before, but the trickiest thing about a TWolves trade is the fact that they'd probably want to get rid of Julius Randle since having both him and Giannis would be very redundant, but any team that would want Randle would probably just want Giannis in the first place. Why would they help facilitate Giannis going to the TWolves by taking Julius Randle, when that same team could probably just make a push for Giannis themselves?

In that case, then Randle would probably just come to Milwaukee, recoup some trade value, and then we could ship him out to another contender maybe?

[trail fiber]

randal costs about 6 frps less that giannis which is why they would want him over giannis

randal probably comes with a FRP to get off of that contract

[mystic dagger]

The issue is that MIN doesn't really have too many FRPs to give

[trail fiber]

which is why they are going to eat randals deal or trade it for another bum on a big deal

jerami grant you are a twolf

[mystic dagger]

Wait, so the Blazers would get Randle, the TWolves are getting Giannis and Grant, and the Bucks get Jaden McDaniels?

I'm not sure how salary would work with that.

[trail fiber]

no, minnesota doesnt have close to enough to get giannis

wolves and blazers just trade the bums for each other

and we point and laugh

[mystic dagger]

Yeah, the only way that really happens is if Giannis specifically requests MIN as his destination of choice, and the FO respects that decision to the detriment of the organization.

[trail fiber]

gimme giannis for ant

[mystic dagger]

I mean...throw as many FRPs as we can get from both of those teams and maybe another young player or two and that's not a bad deal I would say.

this isn't a final trade idea, just the bones of one

but again, why wouldn't the Blazers just make a push for Giannis themselves?

[trail fiber]

we get one of our picks back from portland and get to take a risk on scoot for myles, get a young upside C in Beringer

[urban jacinth]

Any chance we have enough to get Ant from the Twolves?
Fans would burn that stadium down? 😆

[trail fiber]

if you manifest hard enough

[mystic dagger]

Minnesotans would bring their hunting rifles to the stadium. Rightfully so I might add.

[unreal ravine]

What is it with you and hunting

[urban jacinth]

N10 for n12+n17 from okc.

N12+N17 + Bogo + Rollins + players + 2031 FRP + 2033 FRP + any swaps + any remaining SRPs until 2033
For
ANT

[urban jacinth]

YES

[mystic dagger]

Minnesota is a big hunting state. I'm actually not really an avid hunter. To be honest, when I do actually go up north hunting with my uncle, the thing I look forward too the most is just sitting up there in the woods for a few hours each day. It's very peaceful.

[modest sequoia]

nah we just need to give them gary harris

maybe throw in a frp for their troubles

[urban jacinth]

I was extra nice and gave them Rollins and Bogo

[mystic dagger]

that may be an overpay

[urban jacinth]

Haha, no

[mystic dagger]

Bogo is gonna run the league when he gets over here

Gonna make everyone say "Wemby? Who's that?"

[trail fiber]

we also technically have the ous S+T to throw into deals as well

[trail fiber]

Fox Harper and picks

🤝

Flip Fox

[sharp leaf]

That's just not happening

[trail fiber]

🧹 🧹 🧹

Sweeps do funny things

If I have to see trades centered around Podz I get to post this

[idle urchin]

It would be Castle not Harper tbh

[trail wind]

get a all nba player for free 😎

[dusky cypress]

Id just run it back ngl

[trail fiber]

Fox is def a piece they consider moving

[dusky cypress]

And they should, they have about 2-3 years before those contracts become to much. They should trade for depth

[urban jacinth]

for the regular season, Sabonis helps a lot

playoffs, TBD.
i think he has defensive issues.
and moderns style of play now, is super athletic and mobile

[trail wind]

I saw a post on twitter asking who has a similar negative reputation like KAT used to and could eventually turn that perception around. I think sabonis is a good answer. having giannis next to him as a help defender would hide alot of the bad stuff

plus it would single handily fix our rebounding issue

[urban jacinth]

rebounding, screens.
a good bball iq

regular season, with G missing 20 games, and lowering his mins a bit.
Sabonis would b a huge help

[trail wind]

yup he has decent 3 ball too but its low volume

[dark sundial]

is it possible we trade 10 and 13 to move up

if we trade giannis

[urban jacinth]

who is giving up their pick ?

[dark sundial]

maybe atlanta, you could still get philon and mara in some mocks or steinbach or lendeborg

[trail fiber]

could be hard while okc is there to offer 12/17 and dort or ihart

[idle urchin]

The Nets. My theory is they are floating their Ament interest in hopes the Bucks would trade up with them to take him

[dark sundial]

woulda nets deal to do this just be our two picks 10 and 13 for 6?

[idle urchin]

10 and 13 is probably enough

[trail fiber]

the we just take wagler/acuff/flemings? who ever is there? gimme philon and carr instead

[idle urchin]

I would also rather have the two prospects than just one. Feels like there isn't that big of a difference between who will be available at 6 to 10

Unless you are in love with Acuff or something

[dark sundial]

i dont really like flemings or philon we already have rylo they are the most similar to him compared to the other guards

i like mikel brown tho

hes a future all nba level player i know it

so are the other top guards they can definetly reach that level

but its mainly fit and the assets we get from the giannis trade from the heat is the reason i like mbj

[trail fiber]

Personally I am all in on having two rylos

[dark sundial]

philo and rylo 🔥

[urban jacinth]

I don't like philon or acuff.
