Giannis

[aefgogreen]

With Giannis complimenting Joe Mazz, there are bound to be rumors. If the C's could get him without giving up either of the Jays (I would keep them off the table) would you do it? He's the same age as White. Discuss.

If you can pull it off for White, Hauser/Pritchard, Baylor and Hugo you do it. I just don't know why the Bucks would lol. And no, I'm not even giving up Queta in a deal for him. Queta is still 26 and growing while Giannis is entering his age 32 season.

I'm no cap expert but maybe someone can also explain if something can be done involving Vucevic with a S&T to Milwaukee as part of it, like is that possible too to help with salary-matching?

Ultimately though, I do expect MIL trades him this offseason and I also don't think it'll be for a fortune, BUT it'll still be better packages than what Boston can offer if they don't offer up the Jays, and even if White is dangled.

Idk if it's updated but the trade machine says White, Hauser, Baylor and basically any 2 of Pritchard/Hugo/Walsh/Queta works. But then you still have the question of if the depth on the team is good enough post-trade. Personally, I'd prefer to keep it mostly status quo and see if you can add someone with the Porzingis TPE.

Things to keep in mind:

* We'd be hard-capped at the first apron if we took on more salary than we sent out;

* Salaries must "match" within 125% + $250k

So, we'd have to send out at least $46,565,252.80 based upon next year's salaries. 

Even if we sent White + Hauser + Hugo, that's not enough.

It would take White + Hauser + three of Hugo / Walsh / Scheirmann / Harper / Williams / Shulga (or two of those guys plus our signed #1 pick)

So, let's say the Bucks take our offer of White + Hauser + Hugo + Shulga + signed #27 + future #1

That would leave us at:

Queta / Williams
Giannis / Garza
Tatum / Walsh
Brown / Scheiermann
Pritchard / Harper

We would be hard-capped at the first apron.  We'd basically have a maximum of $7m to $8m to fill out the roster (a minimum of four spots).  Without doing the specific math, I think that would allow us to sign a 4 minimum contracts, so long as at least one is a rookie.  It would be very tight.

It doesn't really seem practical to me.

You can be pretty impractical if you have a trio of Brown-Tatum-Giannis.

I can't imagine we'd give up both White and Pritchard.  I'm guessing if we made this deal, we'd say goodbye to at least two of Baylor, Walsh, and Hugo.
