Giannis Antetokounmpo a future Brooklyn Net? The Bucks have started poorly this season
Word came out yesterday that trouble could be brewing in Milwaukee paradise with Giannis Antetokounmpo possibly looking for an out at some point. It was mentioned that Miami and Brooklyn could be two of his preferred destinations were it to happen. The Locked on Nets guys discuss this type of move for where the Nets are in their timeline and if it would even make sense.

Yes, that is true Giannis. Also, Jimmy Butler said he wouldn’t mind playing playing in Brooklyn.
But it’s all a moot point it means nothing because everyone wants to TANK!
We don't need another superstar drama for the nets. We finally look like a team.
This season is so much fun ! Bucks going down they are too good to be bottom four but I could see them maybe 40-40 play in which could land us a pick in that 10-20 range !
We trade bucks back their pick with an additional 3 picks first and give th em players that fit with dame like DFS Cam J maybe even Wilson if they want someone else and let’s make it happen
We keep clax giannis Noah plus cam t and we still keep our pick this year
If you have a great draft in 2025 you can make that trade
Do you know what Jordi would do with a giannis ? You guys don’t understand a great coach with a superstar like giannis omg ! Sean marks isn’t stupid he wouldn’t try the young guys bucks with dame and Middleton and the vets would probably try to still make the playoffs before blowing it up so they would want the picks and players like DFS Cam J Back up Pg and maybe someone else
Coaching is important doc hasn’t been a good coach in over 5 years he’s a mess and this ship is going down , jordi would unlock giannis with cam and our pick this year with the money we have
Man u get him we start from the bottom again we not 1 player away sound good but that's not it ,we need are own super star ,
OKC better trade for Giannis, the Bucks could get 9 1st for him. Without trading the core players & depth.
I swear this better be doc rivers last coaching job
Definitely make that trade & keep the draft picks in the upcoming draft. Give up a few of the future picks ben Simmons contract cam thomas & cam Johnson & noah clowney. Resign ziare Williams & the next draft build around giannis
The Nets should stick to the plan and tank the season for the top three pick next yr. Why the Nets trade for a superstars and the season is going to be a disaster in the near future. Remember KD and Kyrie in 2019 or the blockbuster trade back in 2013.Build throigh the draft and develop the players from scratch
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I don't believe that the Brooklyn Nets are insane.
Giannis has to win 3-5 chips to make up for what he did.
I’m good building our culture and fan base with the young guys
Smh no, no and again no. Stop taking shortcuts and build through the draft.
Giannis current roster is better than what would be left over after a trade for Gianni’s. I’ll pass
I don’t see Sean making a trade for him
HELL NO. Giannis is 29. At what age does he start to slow down? A couple more years ? He hasn’t developed or got any more skilled in offense. As soon as he starts to drop in speed and being athletic, how’s is he going to score or do anything he’s good at now? He can’t post up, he can’t hit a fade away jumper, he can’t shoot still. Once that speed starts to slow down , he’s going to be a huge liability .
Zach Lavine and Giannis. Instant contenders. Don't have to give Bulls much. Get future 29 pick for DFS and Cam and unload all 4 25 picks plus 27 picks. Worst case tank in 29. Nets are not going to finish in bottom 4 this year. Forget about cooper flagg
No more star hunting. It's about time this organization tried to build organically. Hopefully Coop is in play for next summer's draft.
Before going all-in for a superstar, Nets need a homegrown/long-time franchise cornerstone who has bought into and helped build the team’s preexisting culture. That’s why I think Kevin Durant joining Devin Booker’s team may be a more functional fit than KD bringing Kyrie with him, even if the ceiling is lower. Ditto, Kyrie joining Luka. And LeBron joining Wade in Miami.
The obvious way to find that culture-setter is lottery luck, though betting on an undervalued guy in free agency or trades could also get you there. Jalen Brunson to the Knicks and Tyrese Haliburton to the Pacers is the sort of high-upside deal Nets should seek out first, before chasing top-10 superstars. One reason I thought Josh Giddey was worth a flyer.
Let’s see if Sean Mark’s skill at second-draft reclamation projects (Ziaire Williams) can apply to young players with star ambitions unfulfilled on their current teams due to a roster/contract crunch. Jonathan Kuminga is one obvious target.
You can tell U guys are happy with the nets atm – double hats backwards
We could trade Ben Simmons and Cam Thomas for antetokounmpo
Pass on the Freak!!😂
These star players don’t play hard and when they do they get injured … pass on lavine and the freak..
