Giannis to NY sooner than you think

True, they'll try and do right by him

Topher D. Ivey @tophtalk.bsky.social · 6d

The drama will be fun. Imagine if he asks out before the deadline? 👀

Yeah of course obviously. But we have all the leverage. Our team is better. We're closer to a championship and Giannis wants out. We also don't need to make the trade, it would be nice. We don't need it. I'm in favor of tough negotiations

Ugh, in that scenario we lose all our experienced depth and most of our defense

Two different teams compositions. Jalen will be the bonafide 1A, not Giannis the #2 option, with spread wings

Mikal might go but given his injury history & contract, I'd trade OG first. Not hard to find a decent defensive 4 on the cheap

Towns and Giannis? How does that money work? Who's left?

Towns should go out in that deal, and Mitch is reliable enough to be a hurdle towards Giannis. Giannis would replace him

I hope 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I like Towns but I don't love him, we lose defense and toughness

Giannis and Brunson together? That's better than Jokic/Murray imo

What do you think?

Feels like only a matter of time

Does anyone actually believe this?

Topher D. Ivey @tophtalk.bsky.social · 9d

Definitely—nice to see

Catching up on preseason

Ball movement looks better, no?
