Dear Deni: Please Rest

> **Brandon:** There have been rumors in the NBA blog-o-sphere about a certain player who’s played with another certain Blazers player

>

> **Conor:** Two of them!

>

> **Brandon:** Good point! That player is Giannis Antetokounmpo. He’s VERY good. He’s gonna be owed a lot of money on his next extension. He wants out of Milwaukee… I think we can say RIP to Doc Rivers’ coaching career

>

> **Conor:** Oh, all of it.

>

> **Brandon:** Truly the end. But Giannis’ name has come up… what do you think… especially because the Blazers kind of own the Bucks’ draft.

>

> **Conor:** They’re very relevant… it’s hard not to be tantalized, right? I mean it’s Giannis Antetokounmpo.

>

> **Brandon:** When you see a succulent rumor..!

>

> **Conor:** I am of the mind of don’t trade Deni, that’s the non-negotiable, then see what it takes. I’m not outright against it. It could be short-sighted. Giannis is I think 32, he’s had some injury issues, you would have to mortgage a lot of those awesome future assets. You would probably have to give up a few key young players so you would kind of pinch your window right now, which is risky and scary. But it would probably give the Blazers their best shot at a title since 2000.
