Talked to Austin and JZ today and they were non-commital, of course. Rascals.

But just saying. We have the war chest…

War chest is kinda half-empty. I can't think of a package they'd want from us that would make sense for us to send.
 
It's too good to be true but throw the bank at him I say. Everything and everyone is in the table outside of Lauri, Key, and Ace.
 
Can't outbid Houston/SA/OKC if they're interested, NY still has a bit of a war chest as well I believe- regardless they'd wan't some of our best pieces and then we'd really just be treading water, not able to do anything worthwhile with him anyway...

The window wouldn't be open for long and the time it would be open would coincide with the OKC dynasty unfortunately.
 
Ace/Walker would be a great starting package for the Bucks. Question is can you put a good enough team around Key/Lauri/Giannis.

This is the perfect example of the paralysis brought on by the "We can't be a treadmill team, we have to find a ticks-all-the-boxes superstar by drafting him, nothing else is good enough" train of thought.

I mean you combine a future Hall of Famer with a ridiculously efficient top 10 scorer – both versatile seven footers – and add a young guard who's making the leap? That's exactly how contenders are built. You fill out the team with cheap but competent role players. We have some of those already.

I'm sure the Jazz won't be in the Giannis race anyway, but it's frustating to watch these types of opportunities slipping by. Sometimes you just have to go all in and stop hesitating.

Okc has potentially 4 picks in this draft. They could easily get Giannis with those picks plus a few more players and be the best team for the next 10 years (maybe ever?)
