The Bucks are a great team, and personally I think Giannis is a virtual lock to take the super max to stay. Combine that with the fact that most of the other big names are older, and I think 2021 is largely a hype machine for mediocre teams to sell hope for the future that will probably never materialize.
I know you said you're not discussing trades, but my current way-too-early guess is that Dallas packages Wright, Jackson, and draft picks for a wing (Aaron Gordon?) on draft night (waiting until July 1st to make it official if they need to include Lee in a S&T) before signing Dragic to the MLE in free agency. They don't need to wait for a superstar because they already have that with Luka and KP. So they'll chart their own course building around that core while the rest of the league sits paralyzed by the 2021 hype.
