Por - Giannis + Trent Jr
Mil - Grant + Scoot + Camara + 4 1st round picks unprotected + 2 pick swaps (maybe add another first with protection)
Por 2026-2027 line up fully healthy
Lillard, Holiday, sign FA
Holiday, Trent Jr
Avdija, Sharpe
Antetokounmpo, Murray
Clingan, Yang, Reath

A lot of this hinges on how Scoot and Sharpe do leading up to the trade deadline. But unless Sharpe looks like a legitimate star/ finge all NBA player, then I’d prefer to swap Sharpe and Camara in the deal. Portland would need Camara if they went full on win now.

The Bucks would want Camara, he's the most valuable piece in this trade. He can be a building block or he can improves his value even more, so the bucks can trade him later for more draft picks.

I’m not sure I agree Camara is the most valuable asset in the trade. I assume Portland is returning the Bucks 3 firsts (one unprotected, two swaps) . Those are wildly valuable in this deal. I also think high upside guys like Scoot and Sharpe are more valuable for a rebuilding/ tanking team like the Bucks would be than an elite role player.
I also just don’t think you can trade your elite role player if you’re trading for a superstar. It kind of defeats the purpose of adding the superstar to the team with elite role players.
