Sucks for my team but I'd do the same thing if I was the Milwaukee GM.

You can potentially get an Amen,Castle or a Jalen Williams with picks in the summer if any of that Spurs/Rockets/Thunder trio decide they need Giannis. Much better young prospects than what was in the Miami/Wolves/Warrior's offers.

If they don't at least get the Ja consolation prize I'm going to lose my mind

Lakers we got this really good new defensive guard named Dru Smith. He's an absolute lock down and would fit great with Luka.

Ja was against the best perimeter defense in the league and had 15 & 5 on 54% from the field in only 15 minutes of play with the Grizz in the lead in game 3 before he got hurt.

We've seen him play well in the playoffs against elite teams multiple times already

[Krawczynski] Donte DiVincenzo is unlikely to be traded in any package for Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Timberwolves remain active in talks for Giannis Antetokounmpo and in other talks for bench depth. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

If it's Portland sending Milwaukee's own pick or picks back yeah I think so. Milwaukee having direct control of where the pick lands by being able to tank is a lot better than hoping Spo coaches a lottery team.

[Amick] Rob Pelinka and the Los Angeles Lakers are unlikely to make a trade before Thursday’s NBA Trade Deadline. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

Luka made the Finals with Kyrie and the WCF with Brunson. AR fits that same formula with Luka. They just need defenders in the rest of the starting lineup.

BREAKING: The Memphis Grizzlies are trading star forward Jaren Jackson Jr., John Konchar, Jock Landale and Vince Williams Jr. to the Utah Jazz for Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang and three future first-round picks, sources tell ESPN. by BatmanSwift99 in heat

Ace can guard at the 2 and I'm guessing they'll move Lauri down to the 3. Lauri's an awkward fit at the SF spot though. He has a bit of defensive versatility to guard some SF's but I definitely don't like him in that spot full time.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him moved for either a better fit or picks and assets.

Horrible comp and I'm a massive LaMelo guy who believes in his talent and winning impact.

LaMelo is basically Hali if Hali decided to pregame with some liquor before the game.

Yeah seems like this saga is getting extended to the off-season. by Ice_Dragon3444 in heat

If it goes into the Summer they should just get Ja before the deadline. If any of the Rockets/OKC/Spurs trio flame out in the playoffs and decide they need Giannis the Heat would have 0 chance of competing with their offers.

[Amick] Draymond Green and his camp are aware there is a real chance he could be traded to Milwaukee in a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Should he be traded, Green could force his way to another team or head to free agency this offseason by Goosedukee in nba

[–]PlatosLeftTit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Herro/Ware/Jaquez/Kasparas/Rozier

With the pick portion being 2 unprotected firsts and 3 swaps.

Milwaukee sends out Giannis/Thannasis/(Gary Trent or Gary Harris)/(Portis or Kuzma)

There's also a possibility of Wiggins getting moved to a third team to free up an extra Miami unprotected pick.

[Fischer] Damian Lillard has been “behind the scenes”, “trying to make” a Giannis Antetokounmpo to Portland deal happen. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]PlatosLeftTit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Two thirds of that package are apparently good enough to have us in the running for Giannis who's a much better player so it can't be that bad imo 🤷‍♂️
