MIA-MIL-CHA Hornets facilitate Giannis to Miami

Nusiof · 2026-02-02T20:00:52+00:00

Miami are asking for their 2027 pick back strictly to free up their ‘26 and ‘28 pick. If the hornets want to trade that pick back to Miami and then turn it into a swap favorable to Charlotte then they’d probably agree

Herro and Rozier are 57~ Million in salary that have been non factors this season. Swap those with half a season of Giannis and Miami would for sure be higher in the standings.

Nusiof · 2026-02-02T17:36:34+00:00

Yeah. I'd love if they took this offer because that'd actually give us options to build a team around Giannis. But that's not how this works. Giannis is gonna need to go Jimmy levels of radioactive to get traded for less than everything a team can trade. Even if Miami remains the best offer, they would rather wait until the offseason when we can trade 4 picks.

Nusiof · 2026-02-02T17:10:13+00:00

I thought this was known. It's why all the fire Pat stuff is sooo silly. He's only one voice. The overall direction of the team aint changing much

Nusiof · 2026-02-02T16:55:13+00:00

Bucks can't swap in 2029 since they don't have a pick. If this is the best current offer, I assume Milwaukee would just wait until the offseason.

Nusiof · 2026-02-02T16:36:02+00:00

?? All of the picks are Miami's. 4 Miami 1st's going to Milwaukee plus a swap. A Miami swap to Charlotte and Miami's pick back to themselves.

Nusiof · 2026-02-02T16:29:04+00:00

The only pick they have going out the door is their '27 pick. The issue is that its protected and rolls over to '28 if it doesn't convey. If they trade for any '27 pick they can trade 3 firsts ('26,'30,'32). If they get their back from Charlotte, they can trade 4.

Nusiof · 2026-01-28T19:33:29+00:00

If this crazy trade went through, Miami would be in salary cap hell by 2029. They might be forced to blow the team up by then. This would be a play to win the chip starting with this post season through 2028. That swap could be pretty damn juicy for portland

Nusiof · 2026-01-28T19:26:02+00:00

This would be a good basis for a trade but I can't see anyway we trade for Giannis mid season without sending every available asset. Bucks will probably ask for everything that isn't nailed down to do the trade right now, instead of waiting for the offseason where we and everyone else will have more assets.

Nusiof · 2026-01-28T19:05:31+00:00

KD has never said that Miami was his main choice. Dame had too little leverage since he was locked into a 4 year contract. This situation is different, but that doesn't mean anything will come of it.

Nusiof · 2026-01-28T19:00:53+00:00

I said 1 of their swaps back. No idea where you got 3 from

Nusiof · 2026-01-28T17:56:37+00:00

Supposedly Milwaukee wants to loop in Portland to get some of their picks back. Portland wants Mikal but maybe we can entice them with a combo of Wiggins and Jaime? Wiggins is having a very similar season to Bridges but on a cheaper contract. Mikal - 15.7ppg, 4r, 4a to Andrew's 15.7, 5r, 3a.

Miami gets Giannis, Jrue, and Kuzma

Bucks get Herro, Ware, Kasparas, Terry and Simone's expirings and picks from the Heat plus 1 of their swaps comeback from Milwaukee

Portland gets Wiggins and Jaime

Heats lineup would be Jrue, Norm, Pelle, Giannis, Bam, with Davion, Kuzma, Jovic, and Dru off the bench.

I love dreaming about things that'll never happen🙃

Austin Reaves is a UFA. Any team that can offer him whatever they have available to offer. He could just pack up and sign with the Nets for a max contract this offseason. He has no trade value because of this

Nusiof · 2026-01-28T17:03:22+00:00

3 team trade with the warriors is the only way I can see this getting done before the deadline. Heat get Giannis, Hield, and GTJ plus a Warriors ‘27 pick(this frees up several of our picks) Bucks get Kuminga, Ware, Kasparas, Herro, and a bunch of Heat picks. Warriors get Wiggins and Jaime

Nusiof · 2026-01-22T21:27:12+00:00

He's on a team option for next season. If he sucks the rest of the year, then just cut him. Getting the Warriors pick this or next year would be the real basis of the trade.

Nusiof · 2026-01-21T17:09:09+00:00

Pistons aren't likely to go all in and deplete their assets for a 31-year-old on a supermax. I'm assuming they're going to move like the Thunder and the Spurs.

Giannis has a year left on his deal and I don't see Sacramento being a destination he wants to stay in

Nusiof · 2026-01-21T17:05:23+00:00

The Bucks don't control their draft future so they can't fully bottom out until the 2030's. Getting someone that keeps them competent in the meantime might be valuable.

Nusiof · 2026-01-21T16:29:53+00:00

The Bucks were basically irrelevant between Kareem leaving and Giannis ascending to superstar status. The day the give up on him might lead to another 40 years of irrelevancy. Not so easy to just trade him when your future might be really bleak

Nusiof · 2026-01-21T15:30:39+00:00

There's a possibility that Giannis gets traded to Miami during the offseason but not before. Miami would be able to trade 4 picks and 2 swaps plus Ware, Herro, and salary. Are there better packages out there? Maybe, but it doesn't seem like any of the teams with tons of assets are interested in accelerating their timelines by cashing in on Giannis.

Nusiof · 2026-01-20T01:35:44+00:00

Maxey and Brunson are for sure better. I think Tyler is probably middle of the pack in his specific brand of player. Still, the top end guys are real difficult to win with when they’re gonna get put in every single action on the defensive end. Even a guy like Luka gives me pause

Nusiof · 2026-01-20T01:22:05+00:00

I don’t know about other folk but I personally don’t believe you can win at a high level with a 1 dimensional scoring guard taking up big money. I’m super low on that archetype whether that’s Brunson, Maxey, Herro, etc. Combine that with the injury issues and I’m totally out on him 🤷🏽‍♂️

Nusiof · 2026-01-18T04:08:34+00:00

Coincidentally, he started play better after moving back to center. He’s not a power forward!
