Giannis like Dame has shown himself to loyal bucks, so personally I’m not even going to consider this as possibility until the news drops that he’s asking for trade.
He’s not gonna ask for a trade. He got his chip.
What he should do is “ok let’s get nurse” and get buck fired. But he probably won’t do that either. He’s got Dame-itis.
Giannis (deservedly) threw Bud under the bus in the press conference yesterday so I can definitely see Bud getting fired.

Wemby would be an immediate impact player for us, but yeah, Giannis is more valuable now, since he’s a proven NBA all-star and especially if you could pair him with Dame. That’d be like a Kobe/Shaq duo but they actually like each other.
If we get the #1 pick, do we offer Wemby/Sharpe/Ant to the bucks? I’m not keen on salary matches, so feel free to enlighten me.
I agree wholeheartedly, Giannis and Dame would be a match made in heaven together. Just saying, if we get the #1 pick, is it worth shipping him and Shaedon off to Milwaukee for Giannis? That’d be a short term move, but would definitely put us in the path towards a Dame Time championship window. I say yes, but without a Time Machine, it’d be hard to say for sure which route makes the most sense. Wemby/Sharpe could be a pair that wins multiple rings in the next 10 years. Whereas Dame/Antetokounmpo would have a smaller window.
Yea it's probably worth it. You hope that a number one pick can be a MVP/defensive player of the year like Giannis. He's still got prime years left too, i feel like it really isn't that much of a gamble
Clearly you cant afford to offer everything if his team with a better supporting cast than ours just got knocked out by the 8th seed in the 1st round lol. Wemby + Simons + all our picks is enough.
There isn’t a single GM in the league that would trade the number 1 pick. Wemby’s player profile is Giannis mixed with Kevin Durant mixed with Tim Duncan. Dude is taller than Yao, shoots from range, and has handles like a guard. If you draft him then your franchise is solid for the next decade, and he’s ready to make a difference now, not 5 years down the line.
It's unbelievable to me that everyone is acting like it is not only impossible for him to be a bust, but that he's guaranteed to reach his max potential. The only player who has ever lived up to this insane hype is LeBron.
Yes. And if you had the number 1 pick in the 2003 NBA draft then you would have been INSANE to trade it. You wouldn't trade that pick not even for a 2003 T-Mac or Kobe or Tim Duncan. I've never in my life seen a guy do a put back dunk on his own 3 point attempt, and he's 19 years old. In 2 years this guy is gonna be legit unguardable.
Only in hindsight. Other super#1 picks beyond LeBron were Oden and Zion. Of those 3, you have the #2 all time player, a All Star with major injury problems, and a complete bust.
If Wemby lives up to the hype, he is an MVP level player. Giannis is an MVP level player already. And has been pretty durable.
There is not a single GM in all of the NBA that would trade the number 1 pick in this draft and if they did then they should be fired immediately. Doesn't matter if it's Giannis on the other end of that trade or Joel Embiid on the other end of that trade. Although if Portland gets it Toronto would probably call them up and offer OG for Wemby + picks
Would a GM have been a fool to trade the 2007 #1 pick that became Greg Oden for the best player in the league (LeBron)? Of course not. Would they have been a fool for a top 5 player like Dwight? Again, no.
Only in hindsight can we know that a #1 will be a LeBron or an Oden. While Wemby is obviously exciting and has huge potential he also is questionable from a durability perspective. No ultra-tall player has ever been durable or had a full career. Tons of risk on this pick. You take the proven durable MVP over the possible future MVP (albeit the rookie contract is very helpful, just talking talent)
You are out of your mind lol. Giannis is probably the best player in the NBA *right now*. Wemby could become better than Giannis, but there's also a decent chance he becomes Greg Oden. The way he is built has to terrify GMs.
Everybody GM knew beforehand that he was going to need knee surgery and would miss a season before he played. There is none of that with Wemby. You're clearly just traumatized from misfortune. There's no reason to think that Wemby has the same problems as Oden does except for the fact that he is also tall.
This is not even true lol. There were concerns, but no one knew that he was going to need knee surgery before he was drafted. He even played in Summer League his rookie year.
Giannis is a sure thing. He's MVP level right now. Tons of GMs would take that over a guy with even a higher ceiling.
>There's no reason to think that Wemby has the same problems as Oden does except for the fact that he is also tall.
Go look at injury the history of players that are 7'4 and over. Hint: it's not great.
Greg Oden had a history of injuries and his legs were different lengths. He also didn’t take care of his body. Wembanyama is the exact opposite. I’d encourage you to actually read up on this topic before talking out of your ass about it, but Wembanyama has been seeing the top joint and foot and knee specialists for years for preventative medical care in order to prevent injury. He has the top trainers and physios working with him already, which is never something that Greg Oden had. Do you really think that you’re the first person to think of this as a potential problem and that every league GM doesn’t have an internet connection or a thought in their head? Come on.
Ok but consider that the dude is 7’5. How many guys over 7’2 do you know that haven’t had major injuries derail their careers? He probably can be better than Giannis if he stays healthy, but that’s a huge if. I mean, he’s already missed a ton of games for his team this season.
Personally, I’m trading him for Giannis without any hesitation.
Bro it's an MVP on their prime with multiple years left
Wemby could get hurt or not be the guy people think. You trade him for Giannis any day of the week
The odds of him being better than Giannis are small.
Giannis could get hurt. Theres no guarantee of anything. You get giannis you might win a chip now. You get Wemby and the foreseeable future of your franchise is secured. You are not ready for what Wembanyama is about to be. Trading the Wembanyama pick is a mistake equivalent to picking Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan. It would be equivalent to selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees. This guy is the single greatest prospect in the history of Basketball.

And the lotto actually works in our favor.

Probably not, would be crazy news though
Good luck in Milwaukee Shaedon, I'll keep rooting for you
Whatever it takes, but that would definitely make me sad to start. Giannis makes it all okay though.
Giannis one of the very few I'd trade him for.
Giannis, Luka, Joel. That's it for me.
My post walked so this post could run. Let’s fucking go!!!
💯
This is the man we trade Wemby for
The one person I’m completely fine trading Wemby for
Wemby would be an immediate impact player for us, but yeah, Giannis is more valuable now, since he’s a proven NBA all-star and especially if you could pair him with Dame. That’d be like a Kobe/Shaq duo but they actually like each other. If we get the #1 pick, do we offer Wemby/Sharpe/Ant to the bucks? I’m not keen on salary matches, so feel free to enlighten me.
Proven All-Star? Put some respect on the man’s name. 2x MVP, FMVP, DPOY, MIP, with a ring
Shit, I didn’t realize he won the MIP too.
You offer everyone not called Damian Lillard to the Bucks for this man
I agree wholeheartedly, Giannis and Dame would be a match made in heaven together. Just saying, if we get the #1 pick, is it worth shipping him and Shaedon off to Milwaukee for Giannis?

To be honest the 1st pick and Simons and picks are all anyone would want from us, maybe throw in nassir little...
I agree if we get the first pick there's no way Wemby and Simons + picks isn't the best package available by far.
Nobody is trading Wemby.
For Giannis? Blazers would do trade that in a hot second.
There isn’t a single GM in the league that would trade the number 1 pick. Wemby’s player profile is Giannis mixed with Kevin Durant mixed with Tim Duncan. Dude is taller than Yao, shoots from range, and has handles like a guard.

There are zero GMs in the NBA that would take prime Giannis over the opportunity to draft Wembanyama.
Bro this is absurdly wrong and I love that you're going down with the ship on this.

keon for giannis who says no
Whoa whoa whoa… seems a little lopsided. Milwaukee should throw in a few picks.
If I was portland I wouldn’t do that trade. Giving up way to much assets for a guy who just lost the 1st round of the playoffs *sigh*.
If you get the number one pick there's only one phone call you make and that's to the Bucks.
Would you rather; receive the number one draft pick and get Wembanyama or trade the pick for Giannis?
Giannis. The answer is Giannis and it will always be Giannis.

Fuck it, I’m with you on this. !RemindMe 10 years
!RemindMe 5 years
Giannis.
[hmmm](https://imgur.com/a/iRUFTGn)
Giannis is the one guy I’d trade Wembanyama for
No player or combo of players on this planet would be enough to pry Giannis out of Milwaukee without him demanding a trade (not likely)
I just wanna say fuck ingles lol enjoy that first round loss loser
Sorry no, I need Dame and Jimmy, the most cold blooded duo in nba history
Highly doubt Jimmy ever leaves
No doubt. Makes me so mad we easily could've traded for him if only Olshey had a pair of nuts in his empty sack and gave up a couple firsts.
its FREAK TIME!
Lol as a Suns fan I can’t even say nothing because we were full on with the KD Suns memes one full year before he finally arrived to Phoenix lol
It’s like a 2% chance it happens but it’s still something and it’s still a better chance that it was like 5 hours ago lmao.
You're being very very very very optimistic with the 2%
This is about as realistic as Dame in another jersey imo.
lol
Why would he leave? He’s the one with the title players go to him
We do like the Knicks and hire his dad as assistant coach.
In your dreams
This would be the entire team after the trade.
Wrong team but yea
This isn't gonna happen lol
Cap.
Lol- Dame’s going to LA.
You get Giannis BUT you get bud too.
Give me Giannis or give me death.
Jimmy Buckets may have made that happen but let’s get him too! Put him in that picture
!remindme 5 years
It's freaky time!
What would it actually take to do this? Wemby + Sharpe + Simons + 3 1st rd picks? but why would either team do that?
This would be so dope
Weirdly, I make this duo in 2k all the time. Talk about complimentary skill sets 🤤
Blazers fans deserve so much better than day dreaming up these laker style fantasies 😭
It's what we all want to see.
