see if you can get Steph as part of the deal.
The Way to Get Giannis to Utah
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
This is a great phrase and pretty concisely sums up my frustrations that have been brewing for a few years and precisely the reasons why we find ourselves in the current situation we're in.

I agree with most of what you are selling other than the quality of the 2031 pick. No one has any clue on where the Suns, or any other team will be in 6 years - and I dont think any GM is fooled by notion that it will be a great pick. In truth, if we are really going to start trying to win now, we would be much better off to have kept and used the 3 picks we gave Phoenix and used them as part of the trade package/s.
Then why did the Jazz trade 3 picks to get it? I think plenty of GMs would be greatly intrigued by it.
We are looking at the team with no centers and no scoring guards: if Lauri misses his usual 20-30 games they are not making the playoffs. The Jazz will go into the season with the 35-year-old Holiday, 30-year-old Giannis, Lauri and a bunch of the second-year players with no experience of the competitive NBA ball whatsoever.
It's speculative and is great because it has a high ceiling, but things change quick and it's also not out of the realm of possibility that it's on par with the three you traded for it or even the worst of the four.
i.e. cash in on its hypothetical value when you can (see the Lakers pick -- and all of our other Minnesota and Cleveland picks, really).

Giannis is saying that he doesn't want to sign an extension and is planning on being a free agent in 2027.

I mean, yes, obviously, he's going to the Spurs unless the Thunder somehow lose this series.
But this is also a garbage source, lol. I have no idea what "Fadeaway World" is.
Okay, I clicked deeper in and their source is a Blue Check guy on Twitter who doesn't appear to work for any outlets and uses an AI generated profile image.
This reporting seems unusually dubious for Yahoo Sports. If it was known to be legit, the internet would break.Giannis is saying that he doesn't want to sign an extension and is planning on being a free agent in 2027.

Good point, I'm going to delete.

I love how the Jazz have never found any serious takers for Sexton or Collins despite dangling them the whole time, but suddenly they're an important part of a Giannis trade as "solid starters".

They are definitely in save money mode from all reporting.
