Does Timberwolves Mike Conley trade mean they’re getting Giannis Antetokounmpo from Bucks?
Jason reacts to the odd three team deal between the Minnesota Timberwolves, Chicago Bulls, and Detroit Pistons featuring Mike Conley, Jaden Ivey, Kevin Huerter, and Dario Saric—and wonders whether the Wolves are gearing up to get Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks after trading Conley away for nothing.

As a Denver fan, please no
Jason still sneakily advocating for his guy Steph. 🤣🤣🤣
Why would Giannis go to the warriors. Even if he wins a ring and finals MVP, curry will take the credit, just because he's been there forever.
Definitely going to Miami before the trade deadline if not Miami he’s getting traded in the summer
Conley is worth exactly nothing at this point. So not so odd. I don't believe the Bucks would be so stupid as to make a move now. They'll get a much better haul if they wait until the summer. More bidders in a bidding war is always the better path. Always. Yeah, Giannis won't get a chance to compete for a title this year if the Bucks wait. IMO they owe him nothing. They've made him 10 generations wealthy. And put a team around him that won a chip.
Jaden won't be going anywhere naz amd Julius will be out though Jaden is ants best friend and fav player
im a dubs fan but the Ant + Giannis combo would be nuts
Conley only provided a locker room presence. On the floor though, he was a major liability offensively and defensively. I'm not saying trade everyone for Giannis, but if you get the chance to get a top 5 player, you do it.
If the Wolves weren’t sure about getting Giannis before the trade deadline, why’d they dump Mike and not just let him play out the year. He’s been useful in small moments at a position we’re lacking. It only makes sense if they know something’s coming down the line… now it could be Giannis or maybe a guard. But I’m guessing it’s gotta be Giannis🤷♂️
Not on the same level (cant predict it yet)… but the Ivey move feeli like SGA to Thunder years ago. A young talent beaming with promise, and just let go off becuz the team couldnt see the superstardom potential.
Conley was been awful all year since the beginning of December he’s shot 25% from the field and 24% from 3 and finch plays him 20 minutes a night it’s not really much of a loss yes he’s a cool vet and people respect him but this wolves team doesn’t need vets to stay focused they’ve been in the final 4 last 2 years they need production and talent more than leadership now the wolves currently constructed isn’t good enough they have 6 good players in rotation rest of the roster isn’t good or the case of beringer finch doesn’t like to play him the wolves aren’t a championship team without a move
Ant and Giannis would be so fun to watch.
Conley's best days are behind him, and the Wolves were going nowhere with him.
The Wolves don't have the picks to appease the Bucks.
Does Giannis stay healthy though? The current team stays pretty healthy and if we get Giannis and he's hurt a lot then what's the point
Wolves need JA
Wait Gianni’s doesn’t want to be the next kd villain, but is joining a star in his prime in Ant rather than being the hero in what might be the most epic last dance with a warriors team trying to rebuild after devastating jimmy injury?? Bro is doing the exact opposite of everything he claimed.😂
You can’t win a championship with Rudy Gobert on your team making over 35 million dollars a season. In playoffs he’s just to big of a liability on both ends of the floor but more specifically, offense. Obviously he’s a good defender but he’s no where near elite switch defenders which gives offenses big opportunities to attack him
Wolves fan, I agree with your assessment. It really shortens the window, but the upside would be super exciting if they get Giannis.
No one knows.
Giannis will age very well i disagree with you
Mike conley needed to go regardless of anything else. He has completely fallen off the cliff and Finch was living in denial and forcing him on the court
Biggest thing with the wolves is if they can keep Jaden and still get Giannis. I’d also like to keep Beringer. So that makes a trade tough. I worry about Giannis calf, pushing through something like that can lead to an Achilles— which would be catastrophic
Wolves were a second apron team and dropping Conley puts them into the first.
No mcdaniels is very inconsistent.I don't know what you're talking about. I have not missed a wolves game in years. He gets into foul trouble every single game
Why did tim connely leave denver? Is he a guy who uses all assests for the now and then bails when the bill comes due? Now I couldn't complain if that means the 1st championship in 50 years between the vikes and wolves.
