NY: KAT or some combination of their wings + 0 FRP
None of these offers is really great.
OKC is of course a great team and doesn't need to do much. But, imagine them getting Giannis for something like Hartenstein, Wallace and whatever number of picks. That could have a potential to become a 5 year dinasty, as long as the owners are prepared to pay the tax.
It is pretty fascinating in a vacuum with those three team though. The Knicks offer doesn't interest me. Although maybe you get in the ballpark of the other teams if they got their picks back.
Anything with Miami is tricky. They have a voodoo where players play better for the Heat. Do you really want to bet against Miami not being good?
Future Warriors picks when Curry is retired and Kerr is gone is enticing, but would I rather have my own picks back?
I don't know which I would prefer. I think all three lead to an extended rebuild where MIL is graveyard for 4-5 years at least. Just in writing this I was thinking I would prefer the Knicks package with the Bucks picks back, but now I am think GSW may be the best package. If I was Giannis I would want to stay in the East. I think these three teams would be desirable locations for him though.
