yeah, that post ends with "what are they going to do?" but the answer is pretty clear, right? i'd say you trade giannis to replenish some of the draft capital and let all the FAs walk, but i'm pretty sure all their outgoing picks are fully unprotected (yipes!). to me, this means you try to trade giannis for win-now players. i think houston (smith/fvv/picks?) and san antonio (johnson/barnes/castle or sochan/picks) can both make that happen. be interesting to see how they decide to go with the gm being safe in his job now, but i don't see an option wherein giannis is a buck in october, man. yeah, sorry, you don't get to do it several times and still be ok with me. i get a trade demand in some contexts (i thought AD's was fair; i understood the shaq/kobe stuff, etc.), but jimmy just keeps burning down his franchise and getting to play the hero in the next town. and he gets a pass from the press because...he's weird? i like him on the court, obviously. serious competitor. before we got luka i said i would have taken him in trade just because i knew we'd have had a title shot for one year.
