2026 NBA Trade Discussion Thread

All of our own picks, two additional in 2027, and two in 2029/2031. That’s a **** ton.

The trade proposed said we give a pick to the bucks so not all our picks.
#1 pick in 2026, Ace Bailey, Kessler and a future first.

I missed the future pick part but I’m not doing that deal anyways. Was merely stating we would still have a lot of picks.

It's an easy no. Don't even have to think twice about it. You don't trade the number 1 pick in this specific draft for a 32yr old Giannis. Throwing in Ace and the usable cap space difference makes it really rough for me.

And another first and kessler.

I think at this point I feel it's too late to give up lots for Giannis. He's still great, but he's getting older, and you'll be one serious injury away from a complete disaster of both a trade and a contract. I'd rather roll the dice.

Hes going to be a top 10 guy for another 4 years minimum

Youd be crazy not to do the deal. Giannis/Lauri/Key is a championship trio

I just think we’re giving up too much. You’re trading the #1 overall pick plus Ace plus Kessler plus a first. I don’t think it’s crazy to ask if the #1 pick is more valuable than Giannis on its own.
