David Griffin flipped Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday into:- Six first-round picks- Brandon Ingram- Lonzo Ball- Josh Hart- Eric Bledsoe- George Hill- Four pick swaps

Eh, most of those players are garbage. The picks and pick swaps are nice though, especially when you consider where LA/MIL might be in a few years.

Not much when it comes to talent but Bledsoe is a mental midget like DeFrozen while Jrue is a gamer.

I like Jrue but three first round draft picks, two pick swaps, plus Hill and Bledsoe? Damn. Spurs will be happy to get one first round draft pick in a DeRozan trade.
If Giannis leaves, Milwaukee will be in a world of hurt. Houston will use this as a guide for a Harden trade, but it's going to be hard to find someone willing to include this much of their draft future in a deal.

It's all on Gianus, he has to develop a dangerous, not just reliable, jump shot

Agree although the thought must be to take some of the load off him with a more reliable 2nd option that could work out or not.

I get it, but despite the perception, it's more marginal than significant upgrade and in basically 1 season they went from Bledsoe, Brogdon, Hill, DiVincenzo to Holiday, Bogdanovic in the back court.

It's an overall win if (when?) it gets Antetokounmpo to sign the supermax, but they're now thin and out of assets, yet still lacking a "closer" for an elite team.

They also now have a weak-link on defense in Bogdanovic for a team who’s identity if defense.
