 I think you have to if Giannis will extend for a couple of years. We become the favorites immediately when Tatum is ready.

Queta
Giannis
Tatum
Brown
Prichard

 Obviously can start Giannis at Center . But that team is scary big and athletic. Need PG help bad, but still have plenty of depth and defensive wings. Hauser, Walsh, Minot, Baylor,

I would do this trade.

Assuming this new injury is not serious of course.

Not that bad of a return for Milwaukee. They can shift D White elsewhere and pick up another 2 first rounders for him. 6 first rounders for Giannis.

It is not going to happen (I am fairly sure we do not have the ability to send out four firsts, for one thing), but I have seen far more ridiculous trade proposals for superstars on this board than this one.  Good job!

That's an all-in move for sure.  Yeah, I think I'd be in favor of it - definitely provides a 3-4 year window of championship level talent - health presumed.  Giannis turns 31 on Saturday which puts him age-wise right about with the Jays (close) but seems like he'll be less likely to play into his upper 30's.  But I'll take a short window run at banners.

Only hesitancy I have is his willingness to sign an extension here and what it will cost.  Him, Tatum and Brown will basically cripple any financial ability to fill in a team around them going forward. 

having said that, adding Giannis to who we'd have left should make the C's contenders for the next few years

What I was thinking, such as Houston.  Agree though that it is very unlikely.

How about this:

Celtics receive: Giannis

Warriors receive: White

Bucks receive: Kuminga, Simons, Hield (contract filler), 4 1sts from the Celtics, 2 1sts from the Warriors

Why for Celtics? Celtics start Pritchard-Brown-Tatum-Giannis-Queta with Hauser, Hugo, Minott, Walsh off the bench. Still need more depth, but that's a contender.

Why for the Warriors? They flip Kuminga and Hield into White, who they were rumored to want. He's a better fit and allows them to make 1-2 more championship runs.

Why for the Bucks: Getting 6 legit 1sts plus two young players like Simons and Kuminga sets them up for a rebuild.

If Kuzma has to be in any trade with Giannis, then it gets more complicated, but not impossible. He actually fits right into our trade exemption, but then we'd need to flip his salary for someone making less than 13m a year to get back under the 2nd apron again. We have Hauser also as an asset to make that trade happen. The Jazz and Nets both have room in their cap to facilitate something.

I'd think the Bucks would want Brown or Tatum if they were trading with Boston. 
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Starters - Luka, JB, Lebron, Wemby, Shaq
Rotation - D. Daniels, Mitchell, G. Wallace, Melo, Noah
Deep Bench - Korver, Turner

Paying Giannis, Brown & Tatum would cripple this team,  just gotta have D- leaguers as backups
C/PF-Horford, Baynes, Noel, Theis, Morris,
SF/SG- Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Smart, Semi, Clark
PG- Irving, Rozier, Larkin

Probably a non-starter then.

If the Rockets are willing to trade Sengun, or if the Hawks are willing to trade Young, then they should do that.

Just don't think the Celtics would trade their finals MVP in a trade like that.
