Poll: Trade Tatum and Brown for Giannis

[KG Living Legend]

 The Bucks wouldn't do this.  It's just got fun. This all came up from.a video game. I asked the Bucks what they wanted for Giannis..

 They said Tatum, Brown, and Kanter. I said Kanter is a seal breaker lol. Seriously tho, if we could would you? Do we become serious contenders overnight?


 Edit: trade includes brook Lopez for salary

The Bucks win another one with Brown, Tatum, Lopez, Middleton, Holiday! The Celtics no so much...

Personally, I want to win with as many home-grown players as possible. If we traded our entire team tomorrow and won a title next year, it would be nice and all, but nothing compares to drafting players, watching them get better, and winning a title with them. Winning on the backs of traded players simply isn't as satisfying.

[Roy H.]

Horford / Timelord
Giannis
Richardson
Smart
Schroder / Pritchard

If we still had Fournier, I might consider it.

The spacing on that team makes me unwell (without a Fournier-type)

[Moranis]

Absolutely 100% of the time without question.  You trade the entire team for Giannis if that is what it takes.

I might do it for Zion assuming we could clear the deck cap wise while he was still on his rookie scale.

I am the same way - Love to win with our drafted guys.

60's Russell, Cousy, Heinsohn, Havlicek, Sam & KC, on and on.
70's Cowens, Havlicek, JoJo, Chaney & Westphal (74 only)
80's Bird, McHale, Max, Ainge, Henderson (?), Robey (81)
00's Pierce, T. Allen, Perk, Baby Davis, Powe, Rondo

Red always had a way with making that one trade to get a very good team over the top into a champion, but his teams were mostly home grown.

my thinking too.  they'd make noise in the East but unless Pritchard, Nesmith and Romeo all develop significantly going into the season where they're hitting outside shots consistently, they're not winning it all.

So you have a down year where you only win a round or two in the playoffs and then you regroup in the summer with the best player in the sport who is signed long term.  Not a bad place to be.

And I do think they'd have a shot (the trade with the enough salary that is the simplest to do is Giannis/Connaughton for Tatum/Brown).

PG - Schroder, Pritchard, Dunn
SG - Smart, Connaughton, Langford
SF - Richardson, Nesmith
PF - Giannis, Parker, Williams
C - Horford, Williams, Kanter, Fernando

cut Edwards

I think that team would have a real shot this year, but would be in pretty good shape next summer with Horford and draft picks available to acquire a better running mate for Giannis. 

If you can acquire the best player in the world, you have to.  Every time, without question.

How would that Celtics team get past that stacked Bucks squad, not to mention the Nets?

That Bucks 5 of Holiday-Brown-Middleton-Tatum-Lopez would be insane!

That's a high-scoring/defensive monster of a team.

Home grown talent is great and all, but I personally had a blast watching that 2007-08 Celtics team with players like Garnett, Ray Allen, Eddie House, PJ Brown, Sam Cassell, James Posey, Scot Pollard, and Scal (who were all drafted by other teams).
