Insane 5 team Giannis trade


FAILED

Fanspo logo

Heat: Get: Giannis Antetokounmpo , Zeke Nnaji, Thanasis Antetokounmpo Give up: Tyler Herro, Terry Rozier, Nikola Jovic, Kel'el Ware, 3 first round picks, 2 second round picks

Miami overpays (no matter the package it has to be an overpay) for Giannis now to become the favourites in a weak eastern conference while keeping a lot of bench depth such as JJJ, Dru Smith and Fonteccio and most importantly they keep Andrew Wiggins.

Bucks: Get: Tyler Herro, Bennedict Mathurin, Cam Thomas, 4 first round picks, 2 second round picks. Give up: Giannis, Thanasis

Bucks take this package for Giannis as it still provides them with a competitive team with Herro and Mathurin great scoring options which they may be able to trade out later for more picks if they choose to go down the Thunder and Spurs rebuild path. They also get 4 first round picks which I don't expect to be valuable (maybe the Miami 2031 could be in the lottery). I do think the Bucks may be able to get a better package from the Thunder and Spurs but Giannis would want to stay in the east.

Nuggets: Get: Nikola Jovic, Day'Ron Sharpe Give up: Zeke Nnaji, Julian Strawther, 2026 first round pick

Nuggets do this trade because they will want to build more reliable bench depth around Jokic in the long term as at the moment their bench consists of one year vet minimum guys. They acquire Jovic as he has already built up chemistry with Jokic playing on the Serbian national team and Jokic enjoys playing with him. Negatives is that Jovic's extension kicks in next season but they give up pretty much nothing, the 2 players are end of rotation guys, Strawther plays decent minutes occasionally and that 2026 pick most likely won't get any minutes either.

Pacers: Get: Kel'el Ware, Haywood Highsmith, Julian Strawther Give up Bennedict Mathurin, 2 second round picks

To be honest at the moment I'm not sure if the Pacers do this deal because they have Huff now who is a blocks leader but the reasoning behind this deal is that Kel'el Ware I project to be better than Mile Turner in a year and on a rookie contract. They didn't play Mathurin much last season and during their playoff run so when Tyrese is back I don't believe that the Pacers need him and might as well get a young promising centre in return. They also get Highsmith whos a lockdown defender who can come off the bench and is always ready when he is called.

Nets: Get: Terry Rozier, 2 second round picks Give up: Cam Thomas, Day'ron Sharpe, Haywood Highsmith

The Nets only do this deal to tank even more. They don't really have a use for Highsmith and the front office views Cam Thomas as a negative asset. Terry Rozier is in a scandal so they most likely won't have to pay him either if he is guilty. They give up Day'ron Sharpe who is a reliable back up centre but I don't view him being worth a first round pick and they might as well take the expiring deal and a few seconds.

This is a long trade please tell me your thoughts and what I can improve. This trade is coming from a Miami fan but i tried to make it from a neutral fan stand point.
