I'd actually agree with Nico. I don't think swapping Giannis for AD makes you a contender as you'd need to move other pieces to send capital back to the Bucks. You'd be trying to shortcut a path to being a contending team much like we did with Porzingis (though Giannis is in another stratosphere). Giannis is going to go into win now mode and with the likes of OKC and other up-and-comers being so strong, I can't imagine he'd be happy with being on a team who's playoff hopes is somewhat equivalent to what he is on now, just in a much tougher conference. Being bad for a while and developing Flagg while building organically seems like the best long term strategy. I imagine Giannis will end up on OKC or Houston.
