It's not ALL about Giannis, it's about options. He's simply the best possible option.
The approach, imo, is about not closing doors to a variety of team building choices over the next two years, and I have no trouble envisioning 20 options that are better than anything they might've conceivably passed up recently to maintain the flexibility.
Obviously, Giannis is the ideal outcome, and good for them for throwing their chips in at the big-boy table. But, unlike the other free agency swings since 2011, most of which were LUDICROUS, this isn't the equivalent of throwing your daughter's college fund down on one hand of blackjack. If they get him, we have a DYNASTY on our hands. If they don't, there will be loads and loads of other options, many of which will be much, much better than anything they've passed up recently (that we know of). Unlike those other free agency situations, there's a 0% chance they walk away with nothing, because they're not STARTING with nothing.
