But let's be real - MIL is not trading Giannis. PERIOD. It's like another team trying to calculate the right offer for Luka -- it's not happening, so why bother? MIL doesn't even take the call.
Last October, Giannis signed a 3 year $175,369,471 extension with the Bucks, and the earliest he can be a FA is the summer of 2027. He has given no indication of wanting out. He won a title in MIL. They have been very good, and have been working hard each season to assemble the best team possible around him. They take care of him.
If MIL wants a makeover next summer (and they might), everyone else could be available. But not Giannis.
Agreed, and in the 1/100 parallel universe where MIL did decide they had to trade him, the offers they’d get would be much better than anything the Mavs could possibly offer. They simply do not have the draft capital necessary to bid for anyone remotely close to the level of a top-10 player.
