Ehh I don't know about all of that. I'd take Sengun straight up over Zion right now.

Didn't they get better last year when Sengun was out?

Nets: Giannis

Bucks: Ingram, CJ, JRE, Theis, DFS, Cam Thomas, picks from Nets, Pels give Bucks their own picks back

Pels: Dame, Claxton

Call it in December 15th Griff

New starting 5:
Dame, Murray, Herb/Trey, Zion, Claxton

That’s the stuff wet dreams are made of

Don't think that's legal. Bucks are a 2nd apron team. They can only trade one person at a time, and can only take back less salary than they send out. Can't aggregate players into a trade, so they can't trade Giannis and someone else.

---

That trade actually saves the Bucks money so they’re sending out more than they take back.

Also the trade aggregation rules only applies to teams sending out minimum salary players. Knicks just exploited that rule in the KAT trade by signing the last 3 guys they had bird rights to with a contract that paid $1 over the minimum to bypass the rule despite being a 2nd apron team.

On our end we add money to our tax bill, but we stay below the 1st apron so we are still legal. We would have to sign 2 new minimum salary players to replace Theis and JRE contracts, but I think that’s still doable while staying under the apron.

Sengun might be the worst defensive center in the league, and he's actually trying unlike Zion.

---

Zion is out shape, injury prone, doesn't shoot 3s, and is a lazy defender that doesn't give a shite. I'd rather the guy that tries and plays a premium position..

They cannot trade Giannis and another player in the same trade b/c 2nd apron teams cannot aggregate players in a trade regardless of their salary.

---

From everything I read that only applies when you’re trying to acquire a single player.

For instance Phoenix cannot send Nurk and Little for a single player at a higher salary, but they send Nurk and Little out for multiple players at lower salaries in return.

Either way easy to workaround as Nets have plenty of salary to trade.

They could work trade 1 as:
Bucks: Simmons, Picks
Nets: Giannis

Then trade 2 as:
Nets: Ingram, CJ
Bucks: Cam Johnson, Bojan, JRE, Theis, picks
Pels: Dame, Claxton

They can aquire multiple players just can’t send out multiple, so do it in twi trades

This might be one of the worst trades I have ever seen on here, and that’s saying a lot, b/c there have been horrible ones posted.

Give them Zion and their picks back. Sure the Bucks would jump at that trade.
