I think holding onto Giannis now is the smart move. A lot of the same teams will be interested this offseason. Plus other teams will join.
Getting a top 5 pick will be tricky. They will need their pick and the Pelicans pick to both be in the top 5. Although, that would be the last hope they have. Well let me back that up, they will offer Giannis a huge extension. If he takes it, they keep him. I assume he will not take it though...and that will begin the real trade conversations.
