NBA Trade Machine Challenge: "The Giannis-to-Houston Blockbuster" Scenario

The Giannis Antetokounmpo era in Milwaukee is ending.

The Milwaukee Bucks want:

Young talent Draft capital Financial flexibility

The Houston Rockets want:

Giannis To keep either Amen Thompson OR Alperen Sengun (not both necessarily) To remain a contender Requirements

Milwaukee receives:

At least 3 first-round picks At least 1 young player with All-Star upside No bad long-term contracts

Houston receives:

Giannis

Third team must be involved

Because Milwaukee doesn't want Fred VanVleet's contract Houston needs salary matching help Restrictions Houston must keep at least one of: Amen Thompson Alperen Sengun Milwaukee cannot receive Fred VanVleet. Third team must receive something valuable for helping. Trade must be legal under NBA salary rules. Houston must still be a Top 4 West contender afterward.
