I really don't think he leaves, but if he does it will be about fit and feel.  So I think Toronto is probably where I'd lean.

Also, if he turns down the supermax, I do think Milwaukee would listen to offers on him.  I don't think they trade him, but if they are absolutely blown away I could see them doing it.  I don't know what that trade offer would look like, but whatever you think is good value, just double.  That type of trade.

I honestly think if Giannis turns down the supermax, Milwaukee may need to cash in on him and honestly the Celtics are the only trade partner the Bucks have.

Tatum, Smart, Kanter, picks, choice of young players works and for Giannis a core of him, Hayward, Brown and Kemba is an instant favorite and is amazingly balanced.

I just hope he stays in Milwaukee.  The last thing the league needs is another super star wanting to go to LA or NY.

Luckily most international players can care less where they play.  I hope Gianis stays.

...and yes, of course I would love him as a Celtic.

If the Bucks win it all this year then Giannis is going nowhere....

There is almost no chance that Giannis leaves the Bucks. Even if they don’t win he is staying. Teams should of course do their due diligence and make inquiries but this is not really a serious question.

I wish there was a way to create cap space for 2021, maybe to make a run at him.

He ain't goin anywhere.

And why is Boston even on the list when we have no max slot for him.

I'd say Dallas, Toronto both have excellent cases due to the presence of another all NBA level guy his age or younger on the roster as well as other cultural selling points. Toronto is a very multi cultural city wit an international flavor, Dallas is built around fellow European guys.

MIA meanwhile has Pat Riley, a slew of young guys (with maybe a future A level star in Bam), and of course MIA. 

I Don't see how we'll have cap space so I kind of rule out Boston, but stranger things have happened.

Feeling Dallas on this one.

Can you imagine? Doncic, Giannis, and Kristaps ... wow.

Pretty sure they’d have the max slot for Giannis’ free agency if they don’t trade Hardaway or Lee for someone with a longer contract... could be scary

Would be like Shaq and Kobe, but with another matchup nightmare
