Divisional rival and Buck superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo recently requested a trade and is expected to be moved before the deadline. Should the Cavs get in on the Giannis sweepstakes?
Trade rumors began to circle around Giannis Antetokounmpo earlier in the season amidst the Milwaukee Bucks early struggles.Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is ready for a new home at the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline or in the offseason as several rival teams make aggressive offers to the Milwaukee Bucks for him, and the franchise is starting to listen, league sources tell ESPN.
While the second apron does restrict the Cavaliers heavily in their abilities to make a trade deadline move, there is a scenario where the Cavs can get under the apron and move additional assets for Antetokounmpo.To get under the second apron midseason, the Cavaliers would initially have to move De'Andre Hunter and Lonzo Ball.for the Cavs to get back under that pesky second apron, while retaining assets to pursue a max contract caliber player.From there, the Cavaliers would not only have the ability to move multiple players in a trade for Giannis, but they also would This means that in addition to multiple players the Cavaliers could also move an unprotected 2032 first round pick for Antetokounmpo. This could be any combination of Garland, Allen, Mobley, or Mitchell. I think it goes without saying that nobody is untouchable when the deal is for Giannis Antetokounmpo.While it might seem like an extremely risky and expensive move to acquire Giannis, it is one of the rare superstar trades where the player is worth the high cost. Giannis has proved two important things during his time in Milwaukee that Cavs fans should make note of. First, he proved that he is more than talented enough to propel a team that is competitive to the Finals. This is no small feat.This is arguably just as, if not more, important than the talent aspect, as we have had players in the past that had the talent but not the loyalty. Given those facts, Giannis is a once in a generation player and the Cavaliers should be willing to do whatever is necessary, if the Bucks are willing to move the future Hall of Famer to a team they have to play at least 4 times every season. While the Cavaliers might have to give up additional assets in comparison to other teams for being a divisional rival, it is a small tax to pay for a player that has proven he can get competitive teams over the hump.Giannis Antetokounmpo Next Team Odds: Knicks, Heat Warriors Favored to Land Bucks Star
