Trade for Giannis?

It is too early. I`d rather trade Sexton, Collins and Clarkson for Lillard, and what they have left of picks to trade:
  • The option to either get their 2031 1st round pick or swap it with ours or Phoenix`s
  • The option to either swap their 2032 1st round pick with ours or get it outright if we decided to swap in 2031
Assuming Lillard will sit out the whole next season, we would be left with a squad consisting of Lauri + players on rookie deals.

The teams that own the rights to the Bucks picks will probably be first in line, too.

You could not get on the phone unless your bid comes with a top-shelf asset/player just to start.

I think the second line is the key. I suspect more than one team would be willing to give up blue chip prospects to get him. OKC could give up Jalen or Chet with the logic that they cant afford their team in the long term with Giannis, SGA and both of those two in the roster.

No. Certainly not one that can’t be beat by OKC who has assets coming out of their ears.

No doubt you are right, but I could see a world where OKC just wants to roll with what they have (especially if they win it all this year) and use their assets to help them retool the roster as it gets more expensive rather than go all in on two super-max players who take up most of their cap.
 
Here's a list of the picks that MIL owes: https://fanspo.com/nba/teams/Bucks/17/draft-picks

2025- BKN
2026 - Swap rights with NOP
2027 - Swap rights with NOP
2028 - swap rights with POR
2029 - POR or WAS based on 2028 results
2030- Swap rights with POR

This is the simplified version, click on the link for more details.

So if I'm Milwaukee I'm looking to deal with NOP or POR in a complete rebuild or someone else who can get me quality players, BUT only if Giannis asks out.
 
I think it’s an either or not an and… either you trade the 2025 first if it’s 1 or 2 and you get Giannis or the package is beat by someone else.

I would be more in the camp of keeping Cooper… if the pick fell further than that though…that’s where I consider it. I wouldn’t trade 8 years of Cooper (half of which are on a rookie salary scale) for 2-3 year window with Giannis.

How would our line up look? We’d be terrible shooting team.

Isaiah Collier
Keyonte
Flagg
Giannis
Lauri

We would have to do a bunch of follow up moves including trading for an NBA level point guard and ideally getting a 5 that can shoot. Maybe we have enough assets to make all of that happen, but then our cupbards are bare.

Good counter proposal. I would hate it because I'm sick of tanking but it might be the right move
