What *I* would ask for from the Hawks in a Giannis Trade


FAILED

If I was John Horst, Trae Young is incredibly undesirable. Although a decent offensive hub, he is not an efficient enough shooter, nor anywhere near a good enough defender to survive in the playoffs. He is a non-starter for me, especially since the Bucks have 2 younger guards who are starting level already (KPJ and Rollins). The deal either HAS to include Jalen Johnson and the Pels 1st OR it has to include a LOT of the hawks depth, 3 of (NAW, ZR, Dyson Daniels, Mo Gueye, OO, KP) plus the pels pick and maybe plus more depending on which of those players are included.

Gary Trent is included to offset the wing depth the Hawks lose and TP just gives them someone with a similar body type to Jalen Johnson who can hit 3s. Hawks Lineup: Bench: Trae-NAW-ZR-GA-KP Vit Ketjki-GTJ-TP-OO

Bucks Lineup: Bench: KPJ-Rollins-Daniels-Johnson-Turner Cole Anthony-Daniels-AJ Green-Kuzma-Portis/Sims

It should be noted many hawks fans will say this is too much. But lets compare it to the KD trade from the Suns last year. It should be kept in mind, that KD was older, had publicly requested to go to 2 teams, and was going into the last year of his deal. The suns still came away with

A talented young player (Jalen Green vs Jalen Johnson) A strong role player (Dillon Brooks vs Dyson Daniels) A top 10 pick (Suns own pick vs pels pick) 5 second rounders (which I have swapped for 2 future firsts)

Overall this package from the hawks is more valuable, but also so is Giannis. He is a undebatably a top 3 player, which KD was not last season. Also it includes role players with positive value themselves.
