Giannis to Minnesota


SUCCESS

Fanspo logo

Based on recent news (Giannis' preferred destination being Minnesota).

++Wolves:++ Allows them to become true championship contenders with a Giannis-Edwards core. Also allows them to keep valuable pieces like DiVIncenzo, McDaniels, and Naz Reid (who should be better fits compared to Randle and Gobert). Also provides them with 2 solid bench pieces with Cole Anthony and Portis (though Minnesota should still trade for or sign a starting PG with their remaining draft capital and young players).

++Hawks:++ Well known that they're not too keen on Okongwu as their starting 5. Could choose to keep him if KP keeps getting hurt, but will most likely trade Okongwu ASAP and start Porzingis at the 4 wth Gobert. While on a pricey contract, Gobert improves the Hawks defense and rebounding significantly, and the team should have enough spacing to play both him and Jalen Johnson at the same time.

++Bucks:++ Obviously needs to trade Giannis ASAP and begin their rebuild. Gets four 1sts to kickstart the rebuild, as well as 2 potential core pieces in Dillingham and Leonard Miller. Also grants them significant cap flexibility in future years (following the expiry of McCollum's deal). To further bolster the rebuild, they can trade Randle during the offseason (or even right now) for more young players and draft picks.
