Would have been a crazy statement a year ago.
However, makes total sense today.

Good thing is, Bucks are not looking for KAT. They are looking for young assets and lots of draft picks. Think other teams are better trading partners. I see him going to the West.

By proving his excellence as a stat stuffer with only moderate usage KAT has totally regained control of the narrative.

He is no longer a candidate to be moved now that he and Brunson have finally synchronized.

The tide starting turning in KAT's favor two months ago as he steadily adjusted his game, but it was the last 7 games where Brunson adjusted his approach that truly polished the shine on KAT's diamond status and revealed his higher value to the franchise.

What KAT is achieving of late would hard for even Giannis to improve upon so there is no reason to change horses now.

While I am mesmerized by his passing, it's his improved defense. He gets block. He pulls his hands back and defends with his chest and that takes crazy discipline

Under no circumstances would I trade for Giannis even if we lose in the ECF. I'm already convinced if we fall short this season, I want to run it back with the same squad next season. I do not trust Giannis and his durability and he's going to be too expensive. Plus I'm smitten and in love with our team since Game 3 against Atlanta.

I wish we had a little more size on the team but, the chemistry and the fit make so much sense. Let's hope we aren't having this discussion because the ECF hasn't even started yet.

Another short sighted prognostication:

Giannis has demonstrated a dislike for the city of Los Angelous, is on record as saying he want to play in the east, and the lakers don't have proper trade assets.
Redundant redstring in Phil's basement linking silver to lakers, and since silver is kind of odd looking, I suppose Area 51 gets a nod.

Really interesting interview given by Myles Turner the other day revealing Giannis was always late and Doc never fined him or apparently gave a ****. Not sure how to interpret it other than Myles making sure one of them won't be on the team next year.

Personally, I'm not too surprised considering Doc has always been real quick to throw players under the bus and also happy to tell anyone who listens that he'd rather be golfing.

I'd kind of like to see Thibodeau back in Chicago and the Bulls make a move for Giannis.

Giannis is definitely getting traded before the start of the 2026/27 season
