NBA 2026-27 offseason trades, signings & rumors

[SparzWizard]

Yeah Milwaukee has zero leverage. You want a King's ransom? Too late, Giannis and/or outside teams have that leverage now.

You can still get something out of Giannis if you trade him now. But if you wait until he becomes FA, you get absolutely nothing. Perfect way to gut your franchise for many years.

That said, hope Brad is also looking into other teams like New Orleans or OKC etc to pry guys over like Murphy III or Hartenstein while they wait for the Giannis saga to unfold.

I'm still in the belief it's Miami because when you look at Giannis Antetokounmpo, it's the superstar checklist of three things that Miami has here:

It's the win-now player. When you look at a player like Tyler Herro, remember you've got to get to $47-48 million in salary just to send out. Herro makes $33 million as an expiring contract.

Then you look at young players like Kel'el Ware Ware and Jaime Jaquez, two players on rookie deals.

And then it's the draft picks. Remember, Milwaukeee's got the 10th pick in the draft. Miami's got the 13th pick in the draft. They can send two future picks in 30 and 32. They've got some swap rights here.

So, I do think Miami's got right now the best package out there

So a three item checklist:

(1) Win now player = Herro
(2) Controllable contracts = K Ware, Jaquez
(3) Multiple draft picks = this year's pick, two future 1sts, swaps

Zach Lowe on Giannis Antetokounmpo:

Miami is the frontrunner to me until I hear like concrete evidence that anyone has beaten the offer that has been sitting there for a long time.

I was told a short time ago the Celtics have intensified their efforts to land Antetokounmpo. The source declined to get into the details.

Another league source said he was told the Celtics were more receptive to moving star Jaylen Brown, although it?s unlikely he wound wind up in Milwaukee but rather with a third team.

While the Celtics appear focused on landing Antetokounmpo, it is generally believed Miami remains the frontrunner for the two-time MVP.
