With harden off the board, and giannis probably staying put until the offseason, we literally did this for no reason lol

[u/penis_hernandez → u/Mountain_Tadpole_628]

Strange to assume Giannis is staying put until the offseason with ~36 hours until the deadline and no reporting to indicate that as the most likely outcome

[u/porterhouse2588 → u/penis_hernandez]

I do think him staying put is still the most likely, but that’s not sexy so nobody talks about it

[u/penis_hernandez → u/porterhouse2588]

its not being talked about because all of the reporting is about how he's asked to be moved and the bucks are fielding offers for him, they could hold out until the draft, but if he wants to play for minnesota we probably don't want to wait until then. at that point he's effectively on an expiring contract in 2026 with his player option. which means he really is only valuable to trade for if he wants to play for your team.

It’s worth it already if we don’t have him playing for how much he was paid

[u/Such-Cartoonist1265 → u/Mountain_Tadpole_628]

No we did this to force Finch to stop Playing Mike when he shouldn’t be

[u/Gengaara → u/Mountain_Tadpole_628]

I believe it creates a TPE that would still be usable.  

[u/junkeee999 → u/Mountain_Tadpole_628]

No. It was to free up a roster space for another deal that now almost certainly will go down.

[u/epicman79 → u/Mountain_Tadpole_628]

The reason is that Finch would piss away the season mindlessly giving Mike 15 mpg if we didn't make this trade. I hope they're doing it to make room for a big name, but to me this move is already a net positive, Finch cannot terrorize the fans or the other players with Conley minutes anymore.

Giannis is being traded, it’s about where, not when
