If Giannis is prioritizing winning longterm, why would he want GSW? Steph is 38 come March and theyβd deplete resources in trade. Wouldnβt be favored this year either

Its better to trade KD to Milwaukee and receive giannes to Rockets

Tatum should take this year off and seriously just recover and come back 2027 100%

I guess it’s high time for warriors to have giannis for their center play .Curry deserve a good superstar duo.

What’s failed to be mentioned is Giannis will still have the last say so where he wants to go with his no trade clause. He’s already stated he wants to be a Knick, and so for that reason it makes perfectly good sense that he’ll up in New York.

So Houston HAS to include Amen and Sengun but GSW can get him for an injured jimmy butler and picks ??
Mil are getting way better offers than what GSW can give

Doc Rivers once again ruined a stable franchise team. Clippers, Sixers, and Bucks. The most overrated coach of all time.

Perk’ takes make the most sense. The other teams cant offer a competitive package than the Rockets. Wendy want Giannis in the East for an easy path but doesnt realize, whoever that East team is have to give up a haul to get Giannis and then have no supporting pieces to put around Giannis.
In the Rockets’ case, they can move 2 starters and still have enough supporting pieces to put around Giannis and KD.
With the Warriors, Im like Perk, I dont want no Jimmy, Kiminga and Pod. What that hell thats gonna do for the Bucks? Nothing.
The Rockets make the most sense of all the teams except the Thunders.

The bucks don’t owe Giannis nothing. They literally did everything they could to accommodate him the last 10 years

Giannis going to Houston might be the stupidest thing ever our team is already a slashing first team thereβs gonna be no spacing there for we are gonna be predictable and this coming from a rockets fan we donβt want giannis

Bucks dont want pkayers they want to tank, cap and draft picks
@AD_TOP5
January 30, 2026 at 2:37 am
So Steven A u mean to tell me u think Milwaukee wants Pogemski over Segun you must be fn crazy Alphren is no doubt one of the best young players they could get back thatβs a no brainer along with some picks and Eason maybe one more player to sweeten the deal thatβs a done deal .
