Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade Rumors: Will The Houston Rockets Make A Move? Pros, Cons & More

[@LockedOnRockets]

COMMENT: Do you want the Rockets to trade for Giannis?

[@mukhanglarochannel4774]

Yes. We need a legitimate superstar or star and we don't have that.

[@HanhNguyen-zb6vm]

Oh yes

[@brettdryburg8857]

Will we be able to keep Giannis happy once he gets here?

Prob not for him. He’s kinda injury prone lately right?

[@thegirlzachary]

I kinda want them to ride it out with our guys

[@Fiddaa69]

Keeping the core 7 might also stunt their development too unless we can quickly establish who is a role player and who we need to be the stars, sometimes splitting them up is what’s best for everyone although that’s not what I’d want to do

[@rodfertig7419]

Haven’t nearly all the last few NBA champs been built through the draft? Spurs, Bulls, GSW, Nuggets, Celtics, Bucks all drafted and held onto their star players to win their titles. In fact, the idea that you can go and grab a star player has historically been pretty unsuccessful unless that player is Lebron James or Shaq. If you’re after titles it’s statistically way more effective to go with a homegrown team rather than trying to assemble stars from other teams.

[@madroxwasright4277]

Could happen, but really doubt it. If there’s going to be a Bucks/Rockets swap, I think it would look more like Lillard going to Houston for Van Vleet and young players. And I think that would probably actually benefit both teams honestly.

[@smokeythecheese]

Give them bari fred and picks and were good to go

[@everettmoreland9]

😅 there’s no way Milwaukee does that

I’d give segun, Tate and 2 first rounds

Well coaching is crucial for the current roster and potential trade talks. What concerns me is not Alpi or Jabari, my concern is with coaching of this team. I think this is not dependable right now 🤔

Giannis is great if we keep Sengun, Green, Amen, Tari, Reed. A different team might unlock Bari's full potential and same for Cam who i will still support.

[@alfredmatthews1746]

lol...

[@ayberkuyar]

@@JunZendhong You’re not wrong however your comment is not very smart either. If you look at the team's statistics, you can see the main problem in shooting. Team's point guards percentages are very low. The team has one of the worst three-point percentages in the NBA and is also bad in punishment shots especially corner points are very bad. Sengun's defense has improved a lot. Tari is also very good in this. Giannis plays good defense. Sengun can make plays, Giannis is explosive. A little crazy but fun to think about that they can play 4 and 5 together. Tari is my favorite guy, he is pf but he can play sf i think. The rest depends on the point guards shooting percentages. Why not?

[@blaineindemaio696]

Dwight Howard was #2 on ESPN's NBA Rank (I think the year before we got him) and remember how that went?

[@blaineindemaio696]

​@@trumpetking11 prime Dwight Howard was a major reason the whole NBA went faster and more PnR. He was legitimately one of the best players of his era before he hurt his back.

[@trumpetking11]

@@wuzi7049 Dwight was great, don’t get me wrong. But Giannis is arguably as good a defender as Dwight with way more to bring offensively.

[@wuzi7049]

@@trumpetking11 man I don't even like him, damn.. but prime Dwight Howard was a beast both ways. Basically their is a player ache type that goes Shaq to Dwight to Giannis. All three have similar core play styles, skills, and levels of athleticism. And as the game progressed they got smaller and better at shooting, but lost post capabilities in exchange for speed. Personally I watched all three in their eras, and am unbiased to all of them cuz all of their primes were not with the rockets. Disregarding reputation and looking at their primes, they are all the same tier of player. The only real differences is circumstances, and luck. Although while Shaq and Dwight also have similar personalities, Giannis seems a lot more mature.

[@javiercantu6337]

Jalen Green and some picks should do it

[@robertmediado781]

for Jabari Smith and picks???

[@VegasHorn79]

I love Amen. Keep him out of any trade.

[@codingstyle9480]

It seems Jacklin has jumped on the hopeless wagon before anyone. But that means other team's management can easily fool the Rockets' one. Giannis for the soul of the Rockets team? Come on man. How much are you going to get from this publicity? Get Harden also and start playing together. I would not mind if Jalen and Cam (two street basketball players) only were exchanged for him though.

[@elitetv1735]

would like a shooter over giannis but i mean if giannis fell in our laps for a reasonable price i wouldn't be mad either. i think any team would want giannis on there team, its just we have no shooting to help giannis if he got here, everyone's shot is too inconsistent and we haven't played reed enough to know how he'll be

You surprised me mate. Sengun, Jabari, Amen seems too much for Giannis. Not to mention draft picks. BTW will Ime accept this trade? Not sure. Giannis is not an ordinary player and Ime is not an ordinary coach. Both have issues. It will be hard to get along with him for Ime.

[@chieflingco]

Doc Rivers single handedly ruining franchises

[@wuzi7049]

It would be an awful idea to go so hard for giannis. And it would be a waste of actually going through all the trouble of this rebuild. Trade picks and old players, not more than one max two young players. And even then it has to be someone who overlaps or can't get enough time here, like one of amen or tari.

[@Cheesehead2025]

Giannis is a top 3 player in the world, the Bucks need to get a haul back if they trade him. The rockets would need to give up either 1 of Green or Sengun and Amen with several first round picks.

[@wuzi7049]

@Cheesehead2025 which is why it would be such an awful waste of resources and time. Gianni's isn't going to make this rockets roster win the championship. He is having enough trouble doing that on a developed roster more built for him. And this rockets roster doesn't have enough shooters, especially without green.

[@Chris-uq7in]

Sengun & Amen are untouchables together with Tari & Reed imo..

[@bizzyboomin9277]

My thoughts exactly… Bari and cam probably going to be the casualties and some picks and maybe brooks or Tate etc

[@Chris-uq7in]

@bizzyboomin9277 its looking like Cam is the odd man out. But the chance Jalen gets traded is still out there. Got to remember if they do go after a star, that likely will get Jalen's role unless it's a big man.. Hopefully we could still keep Bari and he develops as a great rebounder..

[@alfredmatthews1746]

nobody is untouchable on this roster.

[@brettdryburg8857]

[@35sadik]

On paper it looks interesting Fred-Jalen-Brooks-Tari-Giannis but if the shooting isn't consistent then it can become a problem. Bucks would have an interesting team as well with Lillard Middelton Amen Jabari and Alpi lineup if they don't trade the 2 other stars XD on paper it should be top 5 in east lol, but with doc rivers as the coach not possible

[@richardrojas5796]

I’d stick it out get another year of time together. These guys are looking good and most teams don’t have the cardio to hang with our team. We are almost there with what we got . I’d trade Green for Giannis and some picks or Alpie and Jabari and some picks . Giannis is getting old and injury prone . I heard Booker or Durant is who they’re looking at . We own so many first round picks that we shouldn’t have to lose any of our guys . I just hope we don’t get Jimmy or anyone over 32 years old . Keep Amen, Tari, Cam and Reed. Green has a lot of value . If he stopped the fingernail polish I’d like him a lot more . Alpie is nice but he has to get some coordination and work on his vertical. If we got a decent center or two we’d be fine with what we got. Our team is already giving the best teams a hard time now . Why screw it up?

I’d be ok giving up Sengun for Giannis, but not he and Amen. Take all of the draft assets, sure, but giving up Amen (mini Giannis in your words), baby Jokic and more?! Also hasn’t Gianni’s been having minor/ nagging injuries in the last 2 seasons or so? I’m not calling injury prone, but bigs tend to go down that road once they get over 30.

F#%K NO!! A “Superstar” who can’t shoot??? Naw we already gave Brooks and Fred max contracts, and neither of them dudes can shoot 😂😂. I don’t think I’ve seen Fred make a 3 pointer all season. I’m being sarcastic obviously, but Fred’s shot selection is suspect at times. I agree we need an established Superstar, but someone who can score in these 4th quarters when we keep blowing leads because nobody can make a shot would be more ideal. Stop playing and go bring De’Aaron Fox home for Tate and Jabari. Move Fred to the bench and call up Eason to the starting 5. Fox, Green, Cam, Eason, Sengun 👀👀👀👀👀
