Would you want the Nets to make a serious offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo? Do you think Michael Porter Jr. is traded before the deadline?
Only way I entertain that is if we keep our 2026 pick and we shut him down for the 2nd half of the season to prepare his body for next season. That way we get to pair him with a top pick like Dybansta or Peterson and we cooking we grease đĽ
No stay away. Giannis has had 3 coaches in 3 yrs. Giannis has gotten multiple players traded. Heâs 31 with tons of calls strains and relies on athleticism. Letâs stop doing what weâve always done. Stop taking shortcuts build it the right way for freaking once man
If the Brooklyn Nets made an offer for Giannis it would be this:
Nic Claxton Terrance Mann Haywood Highsmith Cam Thomas Noah Clowney and 4-5 firsts đ đ§.
Brooklyn has ideally the PERFECT draft capital package to get Giannis but the "blue chip prospects" Bucks want aren't great from Brooklyn but Noah Clowney is an interesting prospect who is playing at power forward and is extension eligible in a year and might intrigue Milwaukee đ§ đ.
Also Claxton Mann Haywood and Thomas are short term contracts that allow Milwaukee to create financial flexibility as well đ đ§….
If Brooklyn is playing a role as a third or fourth team facilitator in a Giannis blockbuster move Brooklyn could get involved đ đ§.
Kyle Kuzma is making $22 million and his trade value is horrible and if Milwaukee tries to move off of Kuzma Brooklyn could take on his contract and collect important draft capital like another unprotected first likely from the team trading for Giannis đ đ§.
Plus MPJ and Kuzma's expiring contracts in a year could open up a $60+ million max cap slot đ for Brooklyn to go after a big time star đ đ§ đĽ đ°…..
The only blue chip prospect Brooklyn could part with to get Giannis is Noah Clowney. Clowney is playing at power forward but being able to turn him into a top 3 superstar in Giannis at power forward is a move you do a 100/100 times đ đ§.
Clowney has gotten physically stronger, knocks down threes and offensively attacks the interior more and can make free throws đ đ§.
Clowney is also extension eligible in a year which could intrigue Milwaukee đ đ§…..
Given Houston lost Fred Vanvleet before the season started and just lost backup center Steven Adams to season ending ankle surgery đ¨ Houston needs to do something and should call up Brooklyn offering them their 2027 swap plus Clint Capella for Cam Thomas and Dayron Sharpe đŽđ đ§…..
It will be a very bad move for the Nets.They are the worst team in NBA. Maybe they will finally get top draft pick and get a young talent instead of 31 years old player.
