Moving any/all of the Big 3 has to be an option.

If you move Giannis, the Bucks will cease to be relevant. The Bucks without Giannis right now would be like the Bulls right now.
Derozan can't shoot 3s, but otherwise he's a very gifted offensive player how may be a Hall of Famer (6X all-star who has averaged over 20 points a game the last 10 years). He's a poor man's version of Lillard on offense, but is 3 inches taller and less of a liability on defense.
Vucevic is a good shooting big guy who has trouble guarding guys on the perimeter. He's not a rim protector like Lopez, but he's a 4X all-star who spaces the floor at the 5 sport.
Zach Levine is very Middleton like on offense. He's more athletic, but a poorer defender.
Obviously, you would get something for Giannis back, but it wouldn't align with having 3 excellent to outstanding guys in their mid-30s in Lillard, Middleton, and Lopez.
If you trade Giannis, it wouldn't make sense to keep those other 3 guys. The problem is that bottoming out does nothing for you because they don't control their own draft pick until 2031.
I still go back to Ibaka and Crowder for DDV, George Hill, Hood, Ojeleye, and 5 second round picks killed them over the last 2 deadlines. Got nothing for any of those assets that provided minutes in a playoff game.
Fire Doc, hire Ham. Proven winner.
Giannis has 6-8 more years left in his career. He turns 30 in December.
If they were to trade him (they won't) They would get all their draft capital back.
For being eliminated in the first round, I'm actually not that upset. The Bucks were an up and down rollercoaster all season with divorce, coaching change, injuries. It just wasn't our season, and I can live with that. League better be ready for us next season. #FearTheDeer pic.twitter.com/GxJ4zxOA4a
