Giannis says he is locked in and ready to lead the Bucks but admits it is going to be hard, adding that he could change his mind,
I have said this many times, I want to be in a situation that I can win and now I am here. I believe in this team. I believe in my teammates. I am here to lead this team to wherever we can go and it is definitely going to be hard. Now, if in six, seven months, I change my mind I think that is human too
Boston Celtics:
Incoming: Giannis
Outgoing: Brown, Hauser, Prichard, Scheierman, Hugo Gonzales, multiple first round picks & first round swaps.
The only way I could see the Bucks doing this is if they flip Brown, Hauser, Pritchard to other teams. Jaylen is going to be 30. Pritchard is 28. If I?m Milwaukee I?d want young players with high upside for Giannis like Evan Mobley, Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, Evan Mobley, etc.
The reality is the Bucks are not getting those calibre of players, like Mobley or Thompson in a trade. Castle & Harper (especially Harper) are unknown qualities, they may never improve or become complete busts.
Hypothetically if the Bucks trade for a young star with potential, who are you surrounding them with? The Bucks do not have control of their first round pick until 2031. Milwaukee would get killed every season then hand over their lottery pick to other teams like Brooklyn did.
Like I said in an earlier post, Houston is probably the only team that can beat a Celtics trade package, with Sengun (like you suggested) and a stronger picks package. But The Rockets may not want Giannis. They have just traded for Durant and already have their own young (cost controlled) stars.
