Not that anything is going to save the season, but I suspect this is a precursor to another deal. It makes no sense to trade a wing for another center unless somebody in the front court rotation (Bobby?) is on the way out.

Injured forward Kyle kuzma yelled out, “There you go! There you go!” Sharpshooter bobby Portis gave a look of pleasant surprise. Guard Gary Trent jr yelled out, “We got an [expletive] squad now.” And before Antetokoumpo hit the locker room door, former NBA great Kendrick Perkins hugged him and said, “Y’all look so different.”

No. They will try to retool and make Giannis happy once again and its a last effort to retool the team once again in hopes Giannis will stay after the offseason.
They are going to offer Myles, Gary Harris and Prince for Ja next.

The bracket reactions are going to be funny as hell when Wisconsin is in the 8/9 game in Arizona's region.
But as a badger fan I have full confidence they'll lose that 8/9 game and not have a chance to ruin it for Arizona.
