Giannis to Portland in 3 team blockbuster


FAILED

This trade might seem complicated but it does make sense I promise

For Chicago it’s pretty obvious they get a star to pair with Giddey and who they draft at 4 they are forced to give 15 and a future unprotected pick up as well as former 12th overall pick Noa Essungue but for Deni that’s a price I’d pay as them

For Milwaukee it’s like hitting a reset button with this years pick and newly acquired pick 15 as well as Yang and Noa plus they also get there 2028 first back as well as a further Bulls pick so they reset and try to build around someone from this years draft class and there young core plus they’d likely also trade Kuzma and Turner elsewhere to shed more salary and go after a RFA who can be another building block

Overall this might not be a popular idea but a full reset fits well for Milwaukee

Portland might be questionable becaue why not try to keep Deni and doing so would be possible but they’d be left with nearly no picks left and would lose even more depth pieces

Plus Giannis and Deni dynamic would be very much cancerous to the teams success to ball dominant forwards with a similar play style wouldn’t work well and they’d clash more then they’d make a star duo

Ultimately this would make the Blazers an undeniably scary team out west and probably the third best behind OKC and SA but a healthy playoff run from Giannis could push them over the top and help them be a WCF or even Finals team

They would run a lineup similar to this

Jrue Sharpe Camara Giannis Clingan

Scoot Lillard Barnes TimeLord and other solid players and pieces this team would be an undeniably scary and versatile team with shooting defense and playmaking

But lemme know you’re thoughts and who says no and why
