Why does Portand do it: You take advantage of Deni's contract - getting a top 5 player in the world - the option to play small ball is there with giannis at C - you move off of Sharpe and Grant who did not perform in the playoffs. You keep Scoot hoping he can still be the point guard of the future in life after Dame and Jrue in two years. You pray Clingan can devleop to the Myles/Gobert Hybird.

Dame Jrue Deni Giannis Clingan

Scoot Toumani Timelord (Do not overpay whatsoever) Fill the rest of the roster with shooters - maybe add AJ Green?

Why do the Bucks do it: You get off Giannis who is on a one year deal and wants out. you like sending him west. very west. you get a guy trying to find a new home in Ja and hope he can be the star with a good back court of Ja and Roll. while getting picks back and taking a shot on Yang. considered asking for aldama but felt memphis wouldnt do it.

Why does Memphis do it: they get off Ja and get a young player in Sharpe. I dont think anyone offering better for Ja than Sharpe and a pick. Get young and build around Coward and Sharpe.

The question: Will giannis want to come here. I think theres a 30% chance he would. It would depend on NY and Miami not being able to get him.
