If it's Atlanta and Milwaukee in a 3 team trade. What role player would you want to get along with Giannis if possible?

NAW
Held
Kuzma
Portis


To me it's NAW then Portis

Big man rotation with Portis

Pf :Tatum, Giannis,  Portis
C : Queta, Giannis, Portis

Thoughts?

Ive loved the idea of Bobby Portis on the Celtics for a while now - not only does he space the floor but also brings much needed toughness.

But I have zero interest in Giannis for what Brad would have to give up.

I'd like to sign T. Prince to the vet minimum from Milwaukee.

Portis or NAW would both be great, but I wonder about the cost.

I would do Hauser + A. Williams + 2nd rounder for Portis trade.

Portis checks a lot of good role player boxes. Good size, energy, tough, can shoot and play D. 14 points in 25 minutes is great.   Fan favorite in Milwaukee would undoubtedly be one in Boston.

I don't think that that would be enough. He is going to have a wide market if Milwaukee trades him, because he makes below the MLE.  That means that any team that has their full MLE could acquire him without sending salary back.

I don't see any scenario where we end up with Portis and Giannis both on our team happening.

What if you add Shiermen to the trade?

You guys like Portis a lot more than I do. His defensive numbers are a lot worse than you?d imagine for a player of his length and athleticism.

I do not like Queta & Giannis together. I don't think Giannis can be effective enough next to a paint dweller at center.
