Could the Demond Bane trade be the first of many for the Grizzlies? What if their plan was to go all in for Giannis as they would struggle to extend JJJ, have a ton of young talent, and now have many picks? The Grizzlies add Giannis to their core, bring back Aldama, and add a bunch of shooting. Meanwhile, they involve Detroit so they don’t have to dish out nearly as many picks for Giannis keeping their future in mind. The Grizzlies would have two picks in 2026, 2028, and 2030.

A new Memphis rotation could be: Ja, Kennard, Wells, Giannis, Edey // Pippen Jr, KCP, THJ, Aldama, Huff // Anthony, Williams, #16 pick (from Orlando), two 2nds.

Pistons get in on the Giannis action and land their new front court with JJJ and Bobby Portis to pair with Isaiah Stewart for the next 3 years. Detroit brings back Beasley and Schroder and is able to keep its young trio of Cade, Ausar, and Holland together.

A new rotation could look like: Cade, Beasley, Ausar, Tobias, JJJ // Schroder, Sasser Holland, Portis, Stewart // Klintman, Jackson, #37 pick

The Bucks come out with maybe the best Giannis trade package they could find. They end up with FIVE 1sts in consecutive drafts, two future 2nds, 3 solid young pieces to try out to see if they could be part of the new core (Duren, Ivey, GG Jackson) and 3 short term vet contracts ti be flipped down the line for a bigger move (Clarke, Fontecchio, Konchar).
