This is also happened in the trade/offseason, Fanspo just wouldn’t let me resign Kevin Porter Jr., so the Bucks are also resigning KPJ to a three year, 33 million dollar deal. Anyway, the Bucks do this deal because even though they are giving up a lottery pick, they get Trey Murphy. Their 10 man rotation will be PG Rollins Dosumnu SG Porter Jr Green SF Murphy Dieng PF Giannis Portis Jr C Turner Missi.

The Pelicans do this because they get a lottery pick for Trey Murphy and other assets, along with selling high on Missi. They enter the full rebuild mode, and plan to make Murray or Zion next on the trading block.

This is the only way I think that the Bucks keep Giannis because he wants to be competitive and he wants another offensive piece like Murphy. If they don’t do this, he might have to be traded.
