While I think a deal happens this summer, one advantage of a trade now (despite the injury) is it gives a team more time to make a case that he should stay.
This summer Giannis may have more power to push for a certain destination as he would be in the last year of his contract. Clippers and maybe Lakers having cap room the following summer makes it more dangerous to trade without a commitment.
