Suns are now asking for three first round picks and a solid young prospect for what will be 37 year old KD next season.
Mikal Bridges netted 5 first round picks and a first round pick swap. Keep in mind all of these picks where unprotected minus one.
Paul George netted 5 solid firsts (on of which became Jdub), 2 first round pick swaps, Danilo Gallinari (who was actually a somewhat elite role player at the time), and the infamous sending of Shai G Alexander. Keep in mind all of these picks where unprotected.
No defense Harden netted 4 really good firsts and 4 first round pick swaps all unprotected.
Alright I’ve said enough. Keeping these trades in mind helps me gauge Giannis’s true value. Now you can argue me about this but in my opinion Giannis is the best two-way player in the league right now. Giannis is always a dominant force and the best interior scorer in the league. Giannis is one of the top 10 rebounders in the league and he can grab 15 a night if he wants to. Giannis is also a dang good playmaker averaging 6 APG as a power forward which is pretty crazy. Giannis has also developed a mid range Jumper which makes him much more valuable as he ages. So below is what I think Giannis is worth if he gets traded this offseason and has no new injury concerns:
5 decent firsts round picks
A young star (ex: Zion, Amen Thompson, JJJ, Jalen Johnson, JDub, Mobley, Trey Murphy, Suggs, etc)
a couple young project prospects who have good potential
possibly some seconds and/or first round pick swaps depending on the level of young talent sent in the trade.
