Episode notes
Giannis Is Leaving Milwaukee
- Giannis Antetokounmpo has publicly indicated he wants a new home and likely won't start next season with the Bucks.
- The leak compresses an eight-day window for teams to make offers before the offseason bidding war intensifies.
Bucks Should Prioritize Picks And Youth
- The Bucks will demand young players and future picks rather than veterans to rebuild after trading Giannis.
- Milwaukee can wait post-lottery to maximize value and target rookie-contract assets to restart their timeline.
Warriors Trade Would Skew Conference Balance
- A Giannis-to-Warriors deal would drastically tilt conference balance with too many top players in the West.
- Landing him alongside Steph Curry would create a superteam threat but raises competitive-balance concerns.
