you can’t just aggregate everything the bucks have traded and act like all of those assets just went down the drain with nothing in return. also everyone just figures the bucks made moves to keep Giannis happy, even though both big trades came after big playoff disappointments when you’d expect a contender to make a change
Lakers basically paid the same thing for AD. Clippers paid the same price for Paul George. It’s not like that type of price is reserved for low/mid market teams.
And the cost for him to stay has been basically 10 first round picks, Jrue and 500 million dollars.
Not saying there’s anything wrong with it but don’t act like it was entirely out of goodwill.
The Bucks did everything possible to get him to stay. Mitchell has already cost them five picks. He was the improvement.
The scenarios are incomparable

so cavs should probably get him 2 all stars under 25 and a 21 year old DPOY candidate around him right
Are we gonna pretend Lillard wasn’t included in the receiving end of that cost?
Also to include the all the firsts and Jrue is disingenuous, considering they became Jrue. Lot of double dipping.
Plus counting all the pick swaps as individual picks, when very few are actually going to be used.
and disregarding the championship
Lakers basically paid the same thing for AD. Clippers paid the same price for Paul George. It’s not like that type of price is reserved for low/mid market teams.
But they are basically the only team that paid that to keep a player which was more important than getting one back
