Episode notes
Public Signal Starts The Bidding War
- Brian Windhorst says Milwaukee's public openness signals they're ready to spark a full bidding war for Giannis.
- He argues the Bucks' announcement accelerates league-wide offers and trade permutations over the next eight days.
Prioritize Drafts And Young Assets
- Prioritize draft assets and young building blocks rather than veteran stopgaps when trading Giannis.
- Treat this like a rebuild: get several assets that can form the core for the next competitive Bucks team.
Multi-Team Trades Are Likely Necessary
- Most Giannis trades will be multi-team deals because teams will repackage assets to improve offers.
- Milwaukee must exhaust calls and creative jujitsu to maximize return, even if it delays a deadline deal.
