Giannis is 31.  Sure, he has some miles on him and there is some durability risk, but he put up 28 / 10 / 5 last season on a struggling team where he was supposedly hampered by injury.  He is also 6'-11" and would address the team biggest weakness.

Loosing Brown would mean giving up some wing scoring and wing defense.  Brown is a top player in the game but I view Giannis as better and better at a position that adds more overall value.

Not if he?s hurt he doesn?t. Mark it now. He will tear his Achilles next year where ever he is. All those miles and a calf injury? Hard pass

Do you think his calf strain is not going to be healed by next season. Why haven't LeBron or Steph Curry torn their Achilles? All those miles..

No doubt we?ll be crossing our fingers for as long as he?s here but I also can?t see another way to compete with the Western Conference champs over the next few years.  It?s an extreme risk reward situation. If the bottom line is #19 my guess is it doesn?t play out well, but again, what gives them a better chance?

I don?t know what does. Make a proposal. I don?t know what else is on the table. But i dont like this idea at all. I?m not doing it.

Guess they should trade Tatum away then. I mean, he already tore his. Could happen to the other leg. Too much of a risk.

We don?t have to give up assets for Tatum. He?s already on the team.

Sure, but if he gets injured again he won?t have the same value. I mean, JB has had knee and wrist injuries in the past that required surgery. That?s a risk too.
