3 firsts with 2 swap rights is pretty steep. If this doesn’t work this season for Milwaukee and Giannis still leaves, this has all the makings of the Nets disastrous trade with us. This could absolutely decimate their foreseeable future.
Considering they aren’t a free agent destination, they really are pushing all in on their trio. Gutsy move, but something they probably have to do to retain Giannis.
Best part is that Jrue is going to be a free agent next year, too, and he's going to be looking for big money again for one last big contract. He could very well walk next year.
If Giannis signs the supermax, the Bucks won't really care if Holiday leaves after the year. I mean they will care obviously, but if they keep Giannis for 6 more years and have a better shot at the title this season, you make the trade every single time without a second thought. They have to keep Giannis though.
Sure but Giannis is not dumb. I can't see him re-signing if Jrue walks and they are left with an empty chest of draft picks on top of it. They would need a miracle to legitimately contend then even with Giannis.
Giannis will be offered the supermax in a week. He will either sign it or he won't. Holiday's free agent decision the following summer will be a thing in the past.
