The Suns! An Ayton/Davis frontcourt would be sick...
And have Draymond, Boogie, and Klay off the bench!I'll add in a third with Jokic too...

Thompson won't give the W's a discount!!!!Klay and Draymond would start with AD. Jokic, Boogie and Giannis off the bench. Those guys with their ability to shoot the ball as bigs, opens up driving lanes for Giannis. I could live with it.

Here's what a former GM said about Giannis' situation in Milwaukee
Former GM, agents predict Giannis Antetokounmpo will leave the Bucks
“There’s no way in hell that Giannis Antetokounmpo is staying in Milwaukee for his second deal,” the former GM said. “I would bet everything I own that Giannis leaves Milwaukee.”
“On that first deal, you’re the only one able to give him the life-changing money, for the most part, and a guy is typically going to take the life-changing money no matter who he is,” the former GM said. “On the second contract, if a player is getting a max contract then that probably means there is more than one team willing to offer that same deal… Market definitely matters. In the first max contract [when a player is restricted], it doesn’t matter much. In the second deal, you know there’s only certain places a guy will go. Certain franchises have to build their team knowing they aren’t a destination for second-contract max players… It’s tough for small-market teams.”
This just re-affirms what many have said in that it's completely standard for a star player to take the first big contract, ala KAT. What's harder is the second contract.
He'd be a perfect replacement for KD. He could facilitate the offense and let Steph and Klay play off the ball.
Yeah. I honestly don't understand why he continues to fight this concept. Is is time proven fact.

Also the dumbest thing about the KAT situation was that he was a restricted free agent.
Thibs: "KAT we want to give you a max."
KAT: "FUCK THAT, I'M OUT"
Thibs: "So you're saying you want to sign a free agent max with another team, which will be less than what we're offering you. And then we're gonna match. How do you think that'll work out for you?"
KAT: "I love the Timberwolves organization and I never want to leave."
But fact is, personality displays that you call "attention seeking" and the uncertainty of players changing teams actually help promote interest in the league and is therefor good for the sport. Whether you like it or not.

It wasn't the fact that he signed that allowed for me to give him praise. It was his approach in doing so.
If free agency is the primary topic of discussion that keeps our league profitable:
To quote Samuel L. Jackson from "Coach Carter": "I think that's the problem, don't you?"

Take the Myles Turner extension yesterday, for instance. As a Pacers fan, I was not a fan of the move by our front office. However, I looked at the good of it.
Turner actually seems enthused to be here. I never felt that same enthusiasm from Paul George at any point in his seven years here.

And don't think for one second that I didn't see this report before your above post. There's more reasons than just one as to why I'm on RealGM.
In all likelihood it's a castaway GM that got fired from a small-market organization, hoping that Giannis leaves so he could in some way validate his said time in office. A guy like Chris Grant (the guy who drafted Anthony Bennett) comes to mind...
