I’m wondering if it’s possible to play CJ, BI, Trey, Zion, and Herb together?

I’m just curious what the Zion offers are

99% of phone calls go about like this

Cronin: Hey Griff, we’re interested in Zion if y’all are looking to move on from him, what’s the cost?

Griff: #3, Sharpe, Simons, and 6 future 1sts with swaps.

Cronin: ok thanks

There’s always these types of calls being made every single day. Teams throw out ridiculous things when they don’t want to trade a guy, so actual talks and offers very rarely happen.

That’s why you heard WOJ say teams called about them but no offers were ever made and Zion and Ingram were never actually getable.

As far as Haynes report, every single player in the league is gettable for the package, every single one of them. Milwaukee would trade Giannis if you gave them a ridiculous package.

No they aren’t.
Give me a realistic package that you think Milwaukee would take right now and I will explain to you very easily why they would reject it.

Bridges
Claxton
DFS
8- 1st rounders
3 swaps

Milwaukee would take it in a heartbeat. It would never get offered because then that team would be Giannis and nothing else.

This lineup is absolutely an option for real small-ball. Zion's strength and Trey's length could hold down the low post against other small lineups .

Herb did play the 5 in some of our small ball lineups last year so it definitely is possible.

He’d make a killing as a used car salesman. I buy in whenever he talks.

That’s what I was thinking. I could see Herb as a small ball 5 at the end of games. Also, Trey and CJ spacing the floor for Zion and BI to drive to the paint with Herb cutting sounds pretty cool.

Herb is the guy you want all your players to be like. Quiet with an insane work ethic and great attitude. He’s still humble even though he’s a multimillionaire now. Hopefully


This is why I would never trade him.

As long as the car is in good shape he may as well drive it for a while. Not like he needs it when on road trips with the team and a POS car is less likely to get him jacked in NOLA.


Cars are getting expensive. You can’t even get a used car for a decent price anymore.

He said Dyson is like Herb in that they have to kick him out of the gym. He said the Sports Science team tracks load management and Dyson is "far exceeding everybody else in the in the gym right now".


Pretty much why I find it funny the posters on here that keep saying he will be a bust. You can tell the kid has that business attitude with the need to get better.
The complete opposite of Jax’s sorry arse.

Zero chance Milwaukee takes that deal.

I don’t think there’s any package for Jokic or Giannis

I mean I heard the same stuff about Austin Rivers. They couldn’t kick him out the gym either. All this stuff doesn’t necessarily equate when things actually count. He still can’t shoot in the summer league.

I'd love to hear your Jokic package that would make Denver trade him.

He’s in his 2nd year and has Herb and Trey ahead of him, he doesn’t need to shoot much yet. Also, in Summer League he’s being asked to run an offense that’s just not good. He’ll have a lot more dump off options playing with the varsity.

they would reject it in a heartbeat, and publicly do so just to let people know there is no package for Giannis so don't even ask.
As long as Giannis wants to play in Milwaukee, he will, and no trade will ever be enough to make them move him. If they traded him during his prime, when he didn't ask to be traded, the fans would revolt. They might as well sell the team at that point.
There isn't a package for Giannis, or Jokic, or Curry, or Lebron from a few years ago. And if Zion stay healthy going forward and does MVP type stuff, there won't be a package big enough to trade him either.

Everybody knew Dyson’s shot would be a work in progress. He’s a guy you bet on being really good and putting it all together around his age 25 season I believe.
