If I were the General Manager of the Milwaukee Bucks, this trade would never happen even if Anthony Davis improves a lot from last season. As he is already known to be injury-prone, I would not invest in a player with a history of injuries like Anthony Davis. Giannis has had some injury issues in the past but they haven't been as like Anthony Davis is. I would consider accepting the trade if it included additional players like Austin Reaves not just Anthony Davis.

He's not a good player to trade for Giannis. There's no question that Davis is talented, but it's a big gamble for the Bucks to accept Davis because he's known to be injury-prone. While we're not hoping he will get injured, history has shown that he has been plagued by injuries most of the time. This is also the reason he was traded to the Lakers from the Pelicans.

If Davis wasn't injury-prone, then a 1-to-1 trade would make sense since both players are good enough. I would even say that a healthy Davis is slightly better than Giannis in terms of defense. However, the reality is that Davis' value has dropped significantly due to frequent injuries, and such a deal would clearly not interest the Bucks. For comparison, Giannis played 719 games in 10 seasons, while Davis only played 660 games in 11 seasons.

Yeah, even if they offer Anthony Davis I doubt the Milwaukee Bucks will accept that kind of trade especially because of the history of injuries of AD. Giannis is a man with talent, height, body, and speed. It's difficult to find someone who will be equal to the trade. They may have to wait for his contract to expire but I doubt Lebron will still be in the Lakers. Maybe in the management section.

Anyway, Bleacher Report made an article about a more realistic trade that could happen.

Yes, it could happen. Trae Young is a point guard and there are so many guards in the league right now so trading him will be easy for the Atlanta Hawks considering they still have DeJounte Murray to keep the play.

KAT is inconsistent and with the Ant-Man on the Minnesota Timberwolves, they can rebuild and surround him with good players. It's possible.

I doubt this could happen, if it does, I will be totally surprised.
IMO, Mark Cuban liked Kyrie Irving on their roster. It will be difficult for him to let go of such a star who was just recently signed. And I think Kyrie is still a better option than Harden.

I agree. It's too risky even if we say that the Lakers will add one or two players along and some future picks, the Milwaukee Bucks still won't benefit from that trade and if they're looking to trade Giannis because of his requests, then it's much better to wait from the other teams as I'm confident that they can offer more compared to what the Lakers can do.

Sorry about that, it was a typo error. I was using Giannis and LeBron as examples because both are very dominant big men who can defend well but aren't great shooters, especially in crucial moments. Giannis tends to get flustered when faced with double or triple teams, making it easy to beat him if opponents exploit this weakness, as the Heat did. As for LeBron, his shooting percentage seems to decrease in crucial moments, which is why he often chooses to pass the ball and let his teammates take the last shot. This way, he avoids blame in case the shot fails.

We certainly cannot blame him if he doesn't want to play as a hypocrite because in this industry, let's be real, you might be a superstar but you sure cannot make your name unforgettable to the people specially to the future generations if you don't have that much achievements and cannot win more rings along with the team of your choosing. The era today is already very different to the era that we've known and today, it's not that surprising anymore to see star players requesting a trade to get strong chances.

Yeah, that could be the case and that's normal for most NBA stars that still can play and are still in the league. They want to take as many rings as they can. However, there have been stars that despite being on that title and position, they have never won a ring. But that's a different discussion.

AD sure is an injury prone player but just like what Lakers did to him and preserved him on the playoffs, maybe that's being considered. But yes, the worth of money that will be put and traded on him won't be that much appreciated in that sense.

Not surprising at all, Star needs more stars to win a title, and Giannis just wanted to be practical, without the support he needs that
chance of winning another title is far from reality.

I like that opinion of being practical, if the managements can't give him the squad who can win a title then
better to find the place where the management will grant that request and risk that budget for the sake
of winning the title.

Nothing will happen to them if they push a player to play with them if he's not for the team anymore. But I believe Giannis case is different since he just like his team to be more competent and will not rely on current situations or asset that they have. This is a good move made by him since he might know if Bucks do something to win another championship again and if they want to retain him .
