The mere idea of the Bucks wanting to blow it up by trading their 2nd star is laughable. But if they want to do it, no team in the Giannis hunt should stand in their way.
I kind of get it.
Though the Kings are sending out 40M, while getting back 20.
Also is Middleton really worth the #1 pick+Culver. That seems crazy, too.
The general idea to find a PG that is age-compatible with Giannis and could play with him for the next decade is probably not a bad idea. Lots of pressure though for Lamelo to prove his own worth in 12 months and not have his father run Giannis out of town personally.
The Bucks guaranteed 2021 roster would be
Giannis 41 (caphold, so he can sign the super-max)
Barnes 20
Bogdanovic 15
Lopez 13
Melo 8
They gain enough flexibility to move for another "make-a-wish-Giannis"-candidate by trading Barnes and Lopez for example.
I think it´s just a made-up idea, but at least one off the beaten path.
