Lakers receive: Giannis

Bucks receive: • Jarred Vanderbilt (Vando) – Defensive Swiss Army Knife. One of the most versatile, switchable defenders in the entire NBA. Giannis-level defensive energy on a team-friendly contract. • Gabe Vincent – Proven playoff performer. When healthy, he’s basically a floor general who can stabilize an offense and hit big shots. • Maxi Kleber – Stretch-big specialist. Veteran IQ, elite spacing, and legit rim protection. The perfect modern frontcourt glue guy. • 202x Second-Round Pick – And don’t sleep on this. Lakers second-rounders ALWAYS turn into steals. Could easily be the next Austin Reaves-type gem.

Why the Bucks do it: They get three high-impact rotation players who perfectly complement Myles Turner, plus future value with the pick. They get deeper, more versatile, and more balanced across the board. Meanwhile, Giannis gets a fresh start in LA behind Lukas and Bron’s leadership.

Why the Lakers do it: They add a hardworking young forward named Giannis who might carve out a role one day.
