1:16
Speaker 1: All nine armand sorry, We're ready. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin
1:23
Speaker 1: is on the air.
1:26
Speaker 5: The sun rose in the east this morning, as it
1:29
Speaker 5: always does, but today is not a normal day. Roll
1:33
Speaker 5: into the megaplex, my preferred exit, the exit that I
1:36
Speaker 5: always take this this morning was blocked and sent me
1:40
Speaker 5: on a seven to eight minute detour, and that, inconvenience,
1:44
Speaker 5: in some ways symbolic our road to fan Nirvana blocked
1:51
Speaker 5: as often as the case. Welcome in to the Tuesday
1:53
Speaker 5: edition of The Huddle, Historic edition of the Huddle. The
1:57
Speaker 5: first day of the Postiannis era is upon us here
2:01
Speaker 5: in the good Land. I' Drew Wilson, joined by Bill Schmid,
2:03
Speaker 5: and armand Sorry and and boys. About eleven o'clock last night,
2:07
Speaker 5: we got the word that we've all been dreading. Miami's
2:11
Speaker 5: the winner.
2:12
Speaker 3: Giannis is heading to South Beach, And just like Drew's
2:15
Speaker 3: arrival at work this morning, it was a slight detour
2:18
Speaker 3: to get just a little more south than we already
2:21
Speaker 3: knew you were going. Like this is. It feels rather
2:24
Speaker 3: anti climactic at the end of it, because it feels
2:28
Speaker 3: like this has been the destination that has been kind
2:30
Speaker 3: of written for the last number of months as Shams
2:35
Speaker 3: enjoys his victory lap, since you know, thirteen months or
2:38
Speaker 3: whatever so ago, when Yannis made it sound and made
2:42
Speaker 3: it known to everybody that he was not going to
2:44
Speaker 3: resign a super max extension on October first, that he
2:48
Speaker 3: was gonna move on somewhere, and apparently it's South Beach
2:51
Speaker 3: and and he'll be able to keep the thirty four
2:53
Speaker 3: and Drew He's not like he's not like a lot
2:56
Speaker 3: of other wisconsinights. There was this boyish child and the
3:01
Speaker 3: Buddy dl Field where you could say, no, that's seven
3:03
Speaker 3: foot giant, a Donnis looking young man kinda like us.
3:08
Speaker 3: Eats oreos with his kid at night before they put
3:11
Speaker 3: him to bed, hangs out, and wants to be as
3:13
Speaker 3: close to his family as possible. We love that. And
3:17
Speaker 3: also once we you know, potentially retire, we want to
3:19
Speaker 3: go down to Florida. Now I understand he's got a
3:22
Speaker 3: lot of good basketball left in him. But this is
3:24
Speaker 3: a tough one, Drew, because you can't sell me, at
3:28
Speaker 3: least on the fact that this is a move to
3:31
Speaker 3: go win titles. This won't This won't suffice as a
3:34
Speaker 3: winning titles move because that looks like the South Beach
3:37
Speaker 3: Bucks that he's going to go join down there in Miami.
3:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jannis and Bobby for a pretty good return of
3:43
Speaker 5: players and picks that maybe expanded as we move forward.
3:47
Speaker 3: The draft is tonight.
3:48
Speaker 5: Drafts a whole lot more interesting now than it would
3:50
Speaker 5: have been at Gianni. Still, yeah, when was the last
3:53
Speaker 5: time the draft was interesting for the Bucks? Are you
3:55
Speaker 5: ready for the stat of the day? I mean, I
3:58
Speaker 5: was thinking of this again as I had extra time
4:00
Speaker 5: on my drive in a shout out to give my
4:05
Speaker 5: brother a heads up. Man, tell me when I get
4:07
Speaker 5: to Oklahoma the nice little stanchions. Yes, just give us
4:11
Speaker 5: a little bit like it's just blocked, Like, come on,
4:15
Speaker 5: I guess it's a good thing. I wasn't running late
4:17
Speaker 5: this morning.
4:18
Speaker 2: I was.
4:18
Speaker 3: Actually I had a schedule, but not because of the detour.
4:21
Speaker 3: I was going to say, but the irony, the irony
4:24
Speaker 3: overwhelms me though.
4:25
Speaker 5: Day The road was blocked and I'm like, oh boy,
4:28
Speaker 5: all right, So I'm flashing back and we're coming up
4:31
Speaker 5: on the five year anniversary because of the COVID thing
4:33
Speaker 5: in the finals of the Magical Run the Deer District
4:36
Speaker 5: Bucks and six the legacy, the crowning achievement of Gianni's time,
4:42
Speaker 5: the greatest, most glorious stretch of Gianni's time in Milwaukee,
4:46
Speaker 5: which is always historic and always going to be remembered fondly.
4:50
Speaker 5: I was thinking back to that, and I thought, Man,
4:52
Speaker 5: if you'd if I'd have told myself that in less
4:55
Speaker 5: than five years the Honest would be gone and the
4:57
Speaker 5: Bucks would have zero more titles, I would have thought,
5:02
Speaker 5: that can't be.
5:02
Speaker 3: There's no way.
5:04
Speaker 5: We always say on the show, ninety percent of being
5:05
Speaker 5: a fan is getting kicked in the nuts.
5:08
Speaker 3: This is now.
5:10
Speaker 5: Here's the thing though, as pointed out by the fellow
5:13
Speaker 5: named Kellen Olsen, no relation.
5:15
Speaker 3: Okay what I claimed.
5:18
Speaker 5: As of this morning, Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns,
5:23
Speaker 5: Booker chicken winging the part of the Valley Oop, is
5:26
Speaker 5: now the only player from the twenty twenty one finals
5:29
Speaker 5: still with the team that he was with in the finals.
5:32
Speaker 5: That's in five years, both teams have completely turned over.
5:37
Speaker 3: I think it's hard to believe, but it's I guess right.
5:39
Speaker 5: Two teams in the finals five years ago that you
5:41
Speaker 5: thought were young and poised for greatness, within five years.
5:46
Speaker 3: Only one player is left. That's unbelievable.
5:49
Speaker 4: This shows you how quickly change happens and how cost
5:51
Speaker 4: yes it is.
5:52
Speaker 3: I mean that's the consistently.
5:53
Speaker 5: Which if you want to be a cock eyed optimist
5:56
Speaker 5: and Yannis I mean Giannis Arman's going to go through
5:58
Speaker 5: his feelings today. We're all go through our feelings. We're
6:01
Speaker 5: all gonna share our memories, we're all gonna dump the bucket.
6:04
Speaker 5: But you have to ask the question intellectually. As sad
6:08
Speaker 5: as today is, are the Bucks closer to a title
6:12
Speaker 5: than they were forty eight hours ago? In theory they
6:17
Speaker 5: very well could be. Yeah, and be honest, And who
6:21
Speaker 5: wins the title first? Well, the Bucks or the Heat?
6:24
Speaker 5: When who gets to the top of the mountain first,
6:26
Speaker 5: It's easy to say the Heat and they would be
6:28
Speaker 5: the favorite. In fact, they went from thirty to one
6:30
Speaker 5: to eighteen to one in the course of about five
6:32
Speaker 5: minutes after Giannis.
6:33
Speaker 3: I'll trade it. I'll book that you want to bet
6:36
Speaker 3: to the Miami Heat? To win the title. Let me
6:37
Speaker 3: let me take that money off here. I'll take the
6:39
Speaker 3: no bet on that.
6:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I don't know that the Heat. We'll see
6:43
Speaker 5: how they reconstruct their backcourt, which is now decimated. But
6:47
Speaker 5: you can, you know you can root. I mean, and
6:50
Speaker 5: now the question is what do you do intellectually?
6:52
Speaker 3: Do you cheer for you? Honest?
6:53
Speaker 5: You are Jannis fan forever. You're loyal to the Bucks.
6:55
Speaker 5: We're loyal to our city, You're loyal to the Jersey.
6:58
Speaker 5: But you love the player and you always do the
7:00
Speaker 5: player that left. So it is a kind of the
7:01
Speaker 5: mixed emotions. Very but where do you I mean, are
7:05
Speaker 5: you going to root against you?
7:05
Speaker 3: Honest?
7:06
Speaker 5: Do you want you, honest to win a title in
7:07
Speaker 5: South Beach the way Lebron did with the heatles like,
7:10
Speaker 5: do you want him to fail and not win? Are
7:13
Speaker 5: you rooting against Heat? The Heat has been a sleeper
7:16
Speaker 5: rival of the Bucks.
7:17
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say one of the everybody who
7:19
Speaker 3: hated the Celtics idea, the Heat has kicked more sand
7:22
Speaker 3: in their face recently than recently. The two biggest foes
7:27
Speaker 3: drew that Giannis fought. I mean, you could throw the
7:30
Speaker 3: Raptors in there no doubt, but the two biggest, uh,
7:33
Speaker 3: the two biggest, baddest wolves standing in your way had
7:36
Speaker 3: been the Miami Heat in the Boston Celtics for his
7:38
Speaker 3: thirteen years in Milwaukee, and to see him rock in
7:41
Speaker 3: that Jersey will be will be tough. So that's the
7:43
Speaker 3: good part, Drew. I can still cheer against the Miami Heat,
7:46
Speaker 3: which I have enjoyed that for a long time. I've
7:50
Speaker 3: done that for a long time ever since. You know,
7:53
Speaker 3: pat Riley felt like it was his decision, Uh that
7:56
Speaker 3: you know, we're going to start stealing cookies or taking
7:59
Speaker 3: cookies off these ron James gonna bring cookies every single night.
8:02
Speaker 3: You know what, you don't deserve no cookies. I'm taking
8:05
Speaker 3: him right off. So I'm excited for whenever Jannis gets
8:08
Speaker 3: his pat Riley moment because it will happen very very soon.
8:11
Speaker 3: And uh, this is one of those groups, in one
8:15
Speaker 3: of those logos and brands that I just have not
8:17
Speaker 3: enjoyed for a long long time. So it's pretty easy
8:21
Speaker 3: for me. It won't be anything personal, but uh, I
8:24
Speaker 3: wish nothing but the worst for the Miami Heat going forward.
8:27
Speaker 3: I hope Gianni's has phenomenal games. I hope he has
8:29
Speaker 3: phenomenal time and enjoys all the tax free write offs
8:32
Speaker 3: that he's gonna possibly get and all the cash that
8:34
Speaker 3: he's rolling into, because you're gonna roll into big money.
8:37
Speaker 3: South Beach is exploding right now. The amount of tech
8:39
Speaker 3: companies that are moving from Silicon Valley down to Miami
8:42
Speaker 3: right now. It is a good time to live in
8:44
Speaker 3: South Beach. He's got a bunch of money to invest,
8:47
Speaker 3: and I assume he is going to tenfold a lot
8:49
Speaker 3: of different investments I think he's that are rolling over
8:51
Speaker 3: this next couple of years. Part so, I wish a
8:54
Speaker 3: lot of personal success for him, but.
8:56
Speaker 4: Absolutely zero on the court success. And he's at it
8:58
Speaker 4: and he'll continue to have it. I believe that too.
9:00
Speaker 4: But not as hard as it would have been if
9:03
Speaker 4: he was in Celtics screen though, I gotta say, I mean,
9:05
Speaker 4: this was probably the worst two options you could have
9:09
Speaker 4: given me in terms of like what do I want
9:11
Speaker 4: to see him in the least, and it would have
9:13
Speaker 4: been like if we're gonna trade him? You know when
9:16
Speaker 4: this when this idea of trading him was just a nightmare,
9:20
Speaker 4: and in the back of your mind, you I said, well,
9:22
Speaker 4: if what happens, I hope it's something like Sacramento or
9:24
Speaker 4: Portland or something that's out of my face. But uh,
9:28
Speaker 4: if he's gonna date the girl you so you see
9:29
Speaker 4: every day and the one you've always been your nemesis.
9:32
Speaker 3: Or dip the guy, I should say, I guess that's
9:34
Speaker 3: the wrong.
9:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, Celtics would have been worse, so at least I
9:38
Speaker 4: can take a little solace in that. But I'll echobilly
9:41
Speaker 4: sentiments here and that it won't be hard for me
9:42
Speaker 4: to cheer against the heat at all, because it never is.
9:45
Speaker 4: It's never hard to cheer against the heat to not win,
9:49
Speaker 4: not personal thing, you honest. Uh, you know he's gonna
9:52
Speaker 4: have good years. I expect as long as he stays healthy,
9:55
Speaker 4: he'll do what he always does, and and I expect
9:58
Speaker 4: greatness from him. But uh, I don't think I want
10:00
Speaker 4: to see them lift a Larry O'Brian trophy down there,
10:03
Speaker 4: that's for sure.
10:04
Speaker 3: And I don't want to see him hoisted there.
10:06
Speaker 4: Hopefully, his crowning achievement of his career team achievement will
10:09
Speaker 4: always be with the Bucks. That's the goal now, is
10:11
Speaker 4: just to make sure the legacy maintains. I don't I
10:13
Speaker 4: don't want I don't want history to remember him doing
10:15
Speaker 4: anything greater than what he did already. And that's a
10:17
Speaker 4: selfish move by me maybe, but that's the reality.
10:21
Speaker 3: And I don't know.
10:22
Speaker 4: I guess I can't say I'm that worried about it.
10:24
Speaker 4: When I see Davion Mitchell is supposed to scare me.
10:27
Speaker 4: I don't, I don't, I don't see it. But this
10:29
Speaker 4: is a gutted Heat team right now. So that's that's
10:33
Speaker 4: kind of what horse goal was all along. He mentioned
10:35
Speaker 4: that like, if we're gonna trade him, we're gonna try
10:37
Speaker 4: and cut the team that does it, and time for reflection,
10:41
Speaker 4: time for all those emotional processing, but also a time
10:44
Speaker 4: to look at now and say, what do you do?
10:45
Speaker 4: If you're the Bucks? Are you gonna move forward with
10:47
Speaker 4: these picks? Are you gonna trade keep the players? What
10:50
Speaker 4: are you gonna do if?
10:50
Speaker 5: And we don't know, the Bucks are gonna reveal more
10:52
Speaker 5: of their thinking this evening, right as the draft rolls around,
10:55
Speaker 5: and it might not be done right, and they might
10:59
Speaker 5: not be done for sure. They could probably still flip
11:01
Speaker 5: Tyler hero for something for more.
11:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Chris Haynes did say Tyler Heroes always dreamed
11:07
Speaker 3: of coming home well yeah, so come on, now, let's
11:10
Speaker 3: go back to Green. Come on, let's go. We wanted
11:13
Speaker 3: to make it back Fox. Listen, Foxwood Crossing has got
11:16
Speaker 3: some good houses up for sale right now. You can
11:18
Speaker 3: move right on in back.
11:20
Speaker 4: I think he's I think he's past that, man. I
11:23
Speaker 4: think islands are the great houses.
11:24
Speaker 5: I mean, if the park, if the bus area, Billy
11:27
Speaker 5: you know me, yeah, if the Bucks Tyler heroes headed
11:30
Speaker 5: for like uh, you know, the University Club or Killboard Towers.
11:35
Speaker 3: He's not staying at Glen. He's head it for double
11:38
Speaker 3: Ed's a high one hundred man. He's gonna go out
11:39
Speaker 3: the bed, you know now with the rest of us.
11:43
Speaker 3: He's going as soup the bosh.
11:46
Speaker 5: So the uh, the Miami Heat. They're all fired up
11:49
Speaker 5: to have Bam out of Bayo, Denise Core eighty three, Yes,
11:52
Speaker 5: that happened. Yeah, and Bobby Porters across the front line.
11:56
Speaker 5: They're shaky in the front court. If the Bucks retain
12:00
Speaker 5: their current alignment, they would counter Bam Giannis and Bobby
12:05
Speaker 5: Portis with the younger maybe group of well Miles Turner,
12:12
Speaker 5: Khalel Whare, Jericho Sims and Uzman Chang.
12:16
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, yeah, I don't know who.
12:18
Speaker 5: I like a lot of fouls at you. Yeah, we
12:20
Speaker 5: got a lot of ways to be able to hack
12:22
Speaker 5: through the mat.
12:22
Speaker 4: I don't think that compares obviously, But where's an interesting piece?
12:25
Speaker 3: All these pieces are interesting? Well, they have a twenty
12:27
Speaker 3: two year old seven footer. I don't hate that. No,
12:30
Speaker 3: I don't like with skills. I don't hate that. And
12:33
Speaker 3: Yakatunas was apparently the Hugo Gonzalez hang up that Boston had.
12:39
Speaker 3: They didn't they didn't want to throw in last year's
12:41
Speaker 3: first round pick. Yakachunis was last year's twentieth overall pick
12:45
Speaker 3: from from Illinois young player. You don't know what the
12:48
Speaker 3: Lithuanian could possibly become, but there's there's a lot, and
12:52
Speaker 3: I'll be honest, Drew, I guess I was unfamiliar with
12:54
Speaker 3: Hime Hockey's game. I didn't realize he was averaging fifteen
12:57
Speaker 3: to night almost. Yeah, he got buckets, he got he
12:59
Speaker 3: got a dent amount. So like they got some nice
13:02
Speaker 3: high I can't say high end rotation players. This team
13:06
Speaker 3: was in the nine to ten game last year, right
13:08
Speaker 3: like that. They were in the play in game for
13:10
Speaker 3: a reason. But you got some insting players here running
13:16
Speaker 3: through you know, Ryan Rollins coming off a great year,
13:19
Speaker 3: so again that assumes that.
13:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, and as hard as it is, it's like, yeah,
13:24
Speaker 5: that's a bummer. Did are the Bucks better? The roster
13:26
Speaker 5: better than it was hard to say no.
13:29
Speaker 3: Yes. And to your original question, Drew like where you
13:32
Speaker 3: ask who's gonna win a title? And I guess I would.
13:35
Speaker 3: I would say this way, I don't know either of
13:37
Speaker 3: them win one in the next five or six years.
13:39
Speaker 3: I don't know that anyone wins in this term. Miami
13:43
Speaker 3: is always going to be the easier destination there. True,
13:46
Speaker 3: but but twenty thirty one and twenty thirty three, who
13:50
Speaker 3: knows where we'll all be. Well, but the Bust will
13:52
Speaker 3: have two unprotected first round picks.
13:54
Speaker 5: That's because it was inside of five years ago that
13:56
Speaker 5: the Bucks and Sons were both rolling. They look like wagons,
14:00
Speaker 5: and now one player has left neither the both teams
14:03
Speaker 5: have had two coaches since then.
14:06
Speaker 3: Coach. Yeah, it's insane, it's kind of crazy.
14:09
Speaker 5: So you put that in the that's like being in
14:12
Speaker 5: the washer, and it's like, okay, and it does seem
14:15
Speaker 5: dark and we've been through this before, and then you
14:18
Speaker 5: get into the whole existential.
14:19
Speaker 3: Which one stung you more?
14:21
Speaker 5: The departure of you know, Paul Malet or Brett Favre,
14:26
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers. People still pissed at Craig Counsel.
14:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, Craig Counsel. Princefielder, that one still hurt.
14:31
Speaker 5: Princefielder, Cci you knew, Zach Rinky, you knew. But this
14:37
Speaker 5: one is different. This one is Giannie's stamp on the city.
14:40
Speaker 5: Will it will remain forever? And we saw him at
14:44
Speaker 5: his best. We got there will never be There might
14:47
Speaker 5: be greater athletes, and there might be more accomplished athletes
14:49
Speaker 5: in terms of championships and stuff, but there will never
14:51
Speaker 5: be like monumental the franchise, because you're the Bucks were
14:54
Speaker 5: pretty bad.
14:55
Speaker 3: They had that long playoff drought. Really we're wondering if
14:59
Speaker 3: we were.
14:59
Speaker 5: Worthy of having an NBA franchise, whether the ownership, whether
15:02
Speaker 5: the new arena would get built. We got that all
15:05
Speaker 5: thanks to Giannis in large part because he's kind of
15:08
Speaker 5: like in in that way, he's like the He's like
15:11
Speaker 5: the ron Wolf, Brett Favre of the.
15:13
Speaker 3: Bucks, the pivotal player.
15:17
Speaker 5: Uh so that his legacy will it will never be
15:19
Speaker 5: different and will never have We might have like more, accomplished, more,
15:23
Speaker 5: winning more. You know, stand out athletes. Will never have
15:26
Speaker 5: an athlete with a better story, No about there there
15:30
Speaker 5: will We will never have that.
15:31
Speaker 3: We will not have another player active Drew that has
15:33
Speaker 3: a Disney movie made about him, probably right.
15:37
Speaker 5: It was a story of Greece and he was selling
15:39
Speaker 5: stuff with his brothers on the streets.
15:41
Speaker 3: It's a it's a next level story, and it was
15:44
Speaker 3: one that we all saw happen in real time. And
15:47
Speaker 3: the other part that that I do struggle with and
15:49
Speaker 3: I wonder goes forward or how it goes forward, is
15:53
Speaker 3: the the family dynamic that he's always wanted there. I
15:56
Speaker 3: don't see pat Riley signing Tanasas right like, so there's
15:59
Speaker 3: gonna be heck of a change for a lot of
16:03
Speaker 3: teams and a lot of people. And I think there's
16:05
Speaker 3: gonna be a massive shift in how you see this
16:09
Speaker 3: if you're one of the attack of Kumbo's. But he
16:12
Speaker 3: was so a part of the city, and I said
16:15
Speaker 3: it yesterday, I guess I should have fact checked myself.
16:18
Speaker 3: I don't believe there will be any other active player
16:21
Speaker 3: that has a mural of him in a visiting city,
16:24
Speaker 3: and that one ain't coming down, nor should it, even
16:28
Speaker 3: with what happened yesterday. But is his mark on the
16:30
Speaker 3: team and that group drew. He got him out of
16:34
Speaker 3: the catchphrase twenty two thousands, right the our team, our town,
16:38
Speaker 3: the b Milwaukee O the future. We got out of
16:41
Speaker 3: all of those because Giannis came here and they ended
16:44
Speaker 3: up drafting some random kid out of the crowd.
16:45
Speaker 2: You know.
16:46
Speaker 3: And that's a good way to look at it.
16:47
Speaker 4: And as I reflect on it, it's sad because it's
16:50
Speaker 4: a it's a portion of your life as well as
16:53
Speaker 4: a fan as that's over, as well as.
16:57
Speaker 3: An experience you thoroughly enjoyed.
16:58
Speaker 4: The transformed this fan base, that transformed the city, that
17:02
Speaker 4: transformed the team, obviously, And I think because there was
17:07
Speaker 4: that extra special piece and it was there with farv
17:10
Speaker 4: of the connection to the people and the connection to.
17:12
Speaker 3: The story that you brought up.
17:13
Speaker 4: I mean, we could have when a skinny, unknown eighteen
17:16
Speaker 4: year old came stepped off that plane from Athens, that
17:19
Speaker 4: we could have not ever known or predicted the seismic
17:22
Speaker 4: shift it would have in this fan base, in this team,
17:25
Speaker 4: in this organization.
17:26
Speaker 3: Many people thought the Bucks would be gone by now.
17:29
Speaker 4: The hope really was in Jabbari and more than Yannis
17:33
Speaker 4: Giannis was a curious piece. There was maybe a lottery
17:35
Speaker 4: ticket hopefulness to him, but a lot of people thought
17:38
Speaker 4: Jabbari was the one that might be the you know,
17:40
Speaker 4: the known quantity to turn this franchise around, and nobody
17:44
Speaker 4: knew what was to come. And he was the living
17:46
Speaker 4: embodiment of what we believe ourselves to be in this market, right,
17:50
Speaker 4: the hard work, the grittiness, the absolute out of the mud,
17:53
Speaker 4: you know, dream to reach heights through your own will
17:57
Speaker 4: force and dedication to craft and work. And I don't
18:00
Speaker 4: think to your point, Drew, Billy, it's going to be
18:03
Speaker 4: hard for anything else to replace that. So you move
18:06
Speaker 4: forward now, but you got you had that reflection of
18:09
Speaker 4: what was. And I think that's the sadness for a
18:11
Speaker 4: lot of people because for me, I don't know how
18:13
Speaker 4: if every Bucks fan is like this, but for me,
18:16
Speaker 4: there was stages of that dream.
18:17
Speaker 3: And that was you know, when you drafted him, the
18:20
Speaker 3: unknown that he.
18:20
Speaker 4: First started to become a great player, that he kind
18:24
Speaker 4: of realized that that potential to become a great player
18:27
Speaker 4: winning MVPs, you knew he was going to be a.
18:31
Speaker 3: You know, a cornerstone.
18:32
Speaker 4: Of the franchise then to translate that to team success
18:36
Speaker 4: and the dream of winning an NBA championship was finally
18:38
Speaker 4: realized after the heartbreak of the Raptor Series in eighteen,
18:42
Speaker 4: the heartbreak of the COVID season ending in the bubble,
18:45
Speaker 4: and then the final part of that dream for a
18:48
Speaker 4: lot of fans, I think, at least for me, was
18:50
Speaker 4: that he would be a Buck forever. And that's the
18:52
Speaker 4: last one that wasn't realized. But that's the reality of
18:55
Speaker 4: the way the tenure was meant to go, I suppose,
18:59
Speaker 4: and it's it's just surreal a.
19:00
Speaker 3: Little bit that it's over.
19:02
Speaker 4: But I think we were all kind of understanding and
19:04
Speaker 4: ready for it the last calendar year that this was
19:08
Speaker 4: the logical conclusion that it was going to eventually come to.
19:11
Speaker 3: I think there were some of us still hoping in the.
19:13
Speaker 4: Back of their mind there might be a twist and
19:14
Speaker 4: a turn on, some sort of surprise that it might
19:17
Speaker 4: not end this way. But that last glimmer of hope,
19:20
Speaker 4: I think was during the trade deadline last year when
19:23
Speaker 4: he tweeted that video of Wolf of Wall Street and
19:26
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, maybe maybe we'll never maybe we'll never
19:28
Speaker 4: break up. Maybe we'll be together forever. We're never ever
19:31
Speaker 4: getting back together. But I think now we're never ever
19:34
Speaker 4: getting back together, and that's the reality.
19:35
Speaker 3: And you move forward to and you have memories. That's
19:38
Speaker 3: another good one.
19:39
Speaker 5: Armed on my on the list of things today, what
19:41
Speaker 5: song best summarizes your feelings?
19:44
Speaker 3: It's a great question. I knew m end of the Road.
19:49
Speaker 4: Yes, here's the night by six, Goodbye to you everything
19:55
Speaker 4: that I knew.
19:56
Speaker 3: Thanks for the memories.
19:57
Speaker 4: But Billy, I sense from you maybe a little bit,
19:59
Speaker 4: and maybe can get into this to go forward. It's
20:02
Speaker 4: not as rosy of a reflective tone for you, maybe,
20:06
Speaker 4: like you know what, Let's not let him skate all
20:08
Speaker 4: the way on this one.
20:10
Speaker 3: A lot to do with the way this story ended. Obviously, Hey,
20:13
Speaker 3: but three teams not now. But again I don't I
20:16
Speaker 3: don't say it with like a massive malicious intent. Is
20:19
Speaker 3: that fair? Makes like Giannis and his representation if you
20:24
Speaker 3: which I do believe the reporting that Sun might have
20:28
Speaker 3: been worse on him to say, I believe the report
20:30
Speaker 3: that he had last night on the full story where
20:33
Speaker 3: him and his representation since May of last year came
20:36
Speaker 3: through and informed them that he wanted to be out
20:40
Speaker 3: was not going to sign an extension. So that's over
20:43
Speaker 3: thirteen months worth of not wanting to be a part
20:46
Speaker 3: of it. And frankly, Arman, what you just said was
20:50
Speaker 3: a part of it. It was playing out of both
20:52
Speaker 3: sides of your mouth, like you can't have your cake
20:54
Speaker 3: and eat it too, and run down the floor against
20:57
Speaker 3: the Knicks earlier in the year on a big suitet
21:00
Speaker 3: NBC game yelling out, this is my bleeping city, while
21:04
Speaker 3: two months ago you said I would prefer you only
21:08
Speaker 3: negotiate with them, and I want out, but I don't
21:11
Speaker 3: want to be the bad guy and be the one
21:12
Speaker 3: that everybody has to see and hear say it. But
21:15
Speaker 3: the way that he went about it, in the way
21:17
Speaker 3: that his representation did, I do believe allowed them to get,
21:20
Speaker 3: you know, the best bad package that was potentially out there.
21:24
Speaker 3: I think it's an I think it's a good deal.
21:26
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a great deal. I don't think
21:28
Speaker 3: it's a massive haul of package. But they got what
21:31
Speaker 3: seven ultimately first round talents out of it, their last
21:34
Speaker 3: three first round picks that Miami drafted two unprotected late
21:39
Speaker 3: in the thirteenth pick that maybe you could package with
21:42
Speaker 3: ten go up and get Darius a cuff. There's ways
21:44
Speaker 3: to go about it, but I struggle with the last
21:47
Speaker 3: six last year plus Arman, that has been an in
21:52
Speaker 3: and out, halfway in, halfway out. I didn't want that anymore.
21:56
Speaker 3: So I'd much prefer this resolution then go about what
21:59
Speaker 3: we all went through last year, because uh, nobody needed
22:02
Speaker 3: to see that again, and most importantly Fox fans didn't
22:06
Speaker 3: need to see that anymore because that was a checked
22:08
Speaker 3: out cat that that wanted out, which I understand. I
22:10
Speaker 3: totally get wanting out at that point. But we here
22:15
Speaker 3: you go, this is what you get, this is what
22:17
Speaker 3: you wanted.
22:17
Speaker 5: As we'll get to them all eight seven seven seven
22:21
Speaker 5: nine seven three. If you'd like to chat with us,
22:24
Speaker 5: we're off and running. It's a new era, a new day,
22:27
Speaker 5: a day for joyous reflection and perhaps nervously looking ahead
22:32
Speaker 5: to what's next, starting with tonight in the draft and
22:34
Speaker 5: what will the Bucks do from here?
22:36
Speaker 3: Yes, sir clean rep.
22:37
Speaker 5: By the way, among the amid the tirre and strip
22:40
Speaker 5: club ats, Brandon would have pitched pretty well last night, made.
22:42
Speaker 3: And cover it all. That was awesome. You're in the huddle.
22:44
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
22:49
Speaker 5: It's the day one life without Yannis in Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
22:55
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the huddle.
22:56
Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin nine twenty, Milwaukee ten seventy, Medison
22:59
Speaker 5: everywhere in the eye apps, streaming, live, Facebook, X and YouTube.
23:02
Speaker 5: Your comments are welcome. We're sharing our thoughts as we
23:05
Speaker 5: work through the Jannis trade. He's headed to Miami. If
23:09
Speaker 5: you're just waking up to the news, a lot of
23:10
Speaker 5: folks were probably in bed.
23:12
Speaker 3: When it broke about eleven o'clock.
23:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did.
23:14
Speaker 3: Nature called last night, Drew, and I did. I was
23:17
Speaker 3: very very proud of myself actually this morning because I
23:20
Speaker 3: just I did stick to my guns and didn't look,
23:23
Speaker 3: because I knew that I was gonna look, and then
23:25
Speaker 3: I was gonna wake up, and then I'd be up
23:27
Speaker 3: for an hour and a half because I'd be reading
23:29
Speaker 3: through and trying to look up Khalil wears per thirty
23:32
Speaker 3: six minutes. So I decided to just not do it,
23:35
Speaker 3: and then woke up to the news here today, like
23:37
Speaker 3: I think a lot of folks are doing and having
23:40
Speaker 3: to explain, you know, maybe some tough conversations to the
23:42
Speaker 3: little ones that are waking up still rocking those thirty
23:45
Speaker 3: four jerseys. This morning's growth, though Billy, but you do
23:48
Speaker 3: you have to do?
23:49
Speaker 5: You shelve the gear for a while, Will you rep
23:51
Speaker 5: Jannis at Bucks games and Bucks events? Will you wear
23:54
Speaker 5: it around? Or you just put that one in the
23:55
Speaker 5: closet for a while because it's too raw. Yeah, I
23:57
Speaker 5: got the title shirt on right.
24:00
Speaker 3: His name is on the back here, along with everybody else,
24:02
Speaker 3: including Bobby Portis, who I didn't necessarily appreciate just being
24:06
Speaker 3: thrown in there. Ye don't. We don't properly get I
24:08
Speaker 3: appreciated the Kuzma throw in. I didn't necessarily appreciate the
24:11
Speaker 3: Bobby Portis throw in. But you know, maybe somebody had
24:15
Speaker 3: to go there.
24:15
Speaker 5: Who John Horse will they will address the media after
24:19
Speaker 5: the draft tonight, John Horse, Like, there's no draft. They
24:21
Speaker 5: used to have like a whole draft thing where it
24:23
Speaker 5: was like catered and you'd go cover it and you'd
24:25
Speaker 5: sit there all night watching on TV. And they had
24:26
Speaker 5: workspace and it was on the floor of the Cousin Center.
24:29
Speaker 3: Was practiced.
24:30
Speaker 5: Right now, it's like, well, you can show up at
24:32
Speaker 5: nine thirty, there'll be a couple of workstations, water and
24:36
Speaker 5: coffee will be available, and that's about it. And then
24:38
Speaker 5: the lobby, the training center and then John Horse is
24:40
Speaker 5: gonna pop out after they're done.
24:42
Speaker 3: Well, they usual, the draft is over. Hesed to do
24:43
Speaker 3: everything to get us media there. Maybe maybe those days, Yeah,
24:47
Speaker 3: they don't have to be pretty.
24:48
Speaker 5: Media from coming on the fizz some of the talking
24:52
Speaker 5: sex sign Tony and no creeks a five o'clock club member.
24:55
Speaker 3: He's a o G.
24:56
Speaker 5: He said, gentlemen, today's a sad day reminiscent when Paul
24:58
Speaker 5: Oler left the Birds. This one hurt and will hurt
25:00
Speaker 5: for a long time. Well, it only hurts if you
25:03
Speaker 5: let it hurt you. I know, it only hurts if
25:07
Speaker 5: you let it hurt. I mean, you can you just
25:09
Speaker 5: say thanks for the memories. It's like it's it is.
25:13
Speaker 5: But here's my thing again when it comes to honest
25:16
Speaker 5: and I'm hearing a lot of this, like wow, he
25:18
Speaker 5: was two face. He said he wanted to stay in
25:20
Speaker 5: Milwaukee for everybody, didn't I said no. He said he
25:22
Speaker 5: wanted to stay in Milwaukee as long as they had
25:25
Speaker 5: a chance to play for a title. And it became
25:28
Speaker 5: apparent to him and to many that that couldn't happen
25:32
Speaker 5: with him here in the current configuration. The Dame thing
25:35
Speaker 5: ended up being the last swing. Now you can put
25:38
Speaker 5: blame every where you want. Put it on Doc Rivers,
25:40
Speaker 5: put it on bad luck, put it on bad juju.
25:43
Speaker 5: The injuries to Chris down the stretch, and when Giannis
25:45
Speaker 5: was hurt and Dame blowing out his achilles, and they'll
25:48
Speaker 5: wave and stretch and everything. The die was cast, you
25:52
Speaker 5: know it just it. We get one and Done's I
25:55
Speaker 5: went through this the last time. We get one and
25:57
Speaker 5: don's in this market, you win one title and that's it.
25:59
Speaker 5: The Milwaukee Brays win one title and then they ended
26:02
Speaker 5: up leaving town. Since the Packers and Lombardi, all of
26:06
Speaker 5: our glory has been one and done. Basically enjoy it
26:09
Speaker 5: and enroll, and the Brewers going to the LCS, you know,
26:12
Speaker 5: and losing twice, and that's yeah. I mean, but we're
26:17
Speaker 5: basically one and done for most of our great athletes.
26:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're right. I also think though that there's
26:24
Speaker 3: there there's something too, and very much like I think
26:28
Speaker 3: Brett Favre had this illumination or there was an illumination
26:33
Speaker 3: of what it actually was later in his life. He
26:35
Speaker 3: wasn't as aw shucks as there might have been put on. Yeah,
26:39
Speaker 3: maybe Ty Detmer talking about a Nickel defense, He knew
26:41
Speaker 3: exactly what the heck he was doing every single time
26:43
Speaker 3: he ran out there, and I think you honest knew
26:45
Speaker 3: everything that he was doing when he stepped up to
26:46
Speaker 3: the microphone over the last thirteen months and did it
26:49
Speaker 3: work out well for the Bucks. Again, he could have
26:52
Speaker 3: done what a lot of stars do, the majority of
26:55
Speaker 3: them do, and say I'm going to one team and
26:57
Speaker 3: one team only, you send me there or I will
27:00
Speaker 3: pout and be dismissive. And I appreciate the fact they
27:03
Speaker 3: didn't do that, but just to act like this was
27:07
Speaker 3: just somewhat popped up, or whenever he does speak in
27:12
Speaker 3: a in a Miami heat outfit and say, you know
27:16
Speaker 3: last night the posta voice trusted God, and God's always
27:19
Speaker 3: had me, and I know that you're gonna lead the
27:21
Speaker 3: right way. Well, you've led this the last year plus
27:25
Speaker 3: like so, I can't act. You can't act like this
27:27
Speaker 3: is out of left field when you've been screaming out
27:30
Speaker 3: of left field. Get me out of here. And and
27:33
Speaker 3: I agree, they are not in a championship contention. Large
27:37
Speaker 3: part of it is because if you believe different reports
27:41
Speaker 3: that they said, hey man, we're gonna try to sell
27:42
Speaker 3: it on a gap. Yere, We're gonna keep Dame. We're
27:44
Speaker 3: gonna have fifty million dollars coming off the books next year.
27:47
Speaker 3: We're gonna have a lot of flexibility. And there was
27:49
Speaker 3: never a relenting or a belief that you should take
27:52
Speaker 3: somewhat of a step back to build towards the future.
27:54
Speaker 3: I think they very much could have if everybody was
27:57
Speaker 3: open to it. But I think one side was and
27:59
Speaker 3: once I wasn't, which again is not no fault to anybody.
28:05
Speaker 3: Sides grow apart, things can change, Yeah, but people change,
28:10
Speaker 3: and listen, Giannis is the was the first guy that
28:14
Speaker 3: I ever watched on my favorite team be younger than me.
28:19
Speaker 3: So like, if you want to talk the full flip
28:21
Speaker 3: of life that you live with it, people change definitely
28:24
Speaker 3: not the same guy I was ten years ago. It's
28:26
Speaker 3: a good point and you learn it in real time
28:30
Speaker 3: that lives change, people change, perspectives change, and goals change.
28:34
Speaker 3: And this one, to me, this is where this is
28:37
Speaker 3: the I think the split here. You can't tell me
28:40
Speaker 3: this is a championship winning move, Like, this isn't a
28:42
Speaker 3: move that is I'm gonna go chase a massive title,
28:45
Speaker 3: not in near not in the nam anabio.
28:48
Speaker 5: But in three years or five years with the core
28:51
Speaker 5: that they have, like as we've seen, as we mentioned
28:54
Speaker 5: five years ago the Bucks and Sons played for a title,
28:56
Speaker 5: and now those two teams have one player and no
28:59
Speaker 5: coaches from that period. It's like that is as rapid
29:03
Speaker 5: a to start a turnover as you can have.
29:05
Speaker 4: I agree, yeah, I agree with you, Billy, But I
29:07
Speaker 4: do believe that what they're doing also is selling us
29:10
Speaker 4: on a vision like we are the Miami Heat. We
29:13
Speaker 4: we believe that we have principles of the organization that
29:16
Speaker 4: we can build ourselves into a winner. There's bam as
29:18
Speaker 4: and known quantities here right now. I totally agree with you,
29:21
Speaker 4: but I think this will test two of the things
29:23
Speaker 4: that they believe about themselves, mostly that one they're a
29:26
Speaker 4: huge destination right for free agents.
29:29
Speaker 3: Or Miami is Miami. And they believe in their development.
29:35
Speaker 4: I mean, they have to write it on their court,
29:36
Speaker 4: but they believe in those tenants. So it'll test that
29:38
Speaker 4: now because they have to do more probably to become
29:42
Speaker 4: that team.
29:42
Speaker 5: But I got to fill out the roster and they
29:45
Speaker 5: go get Chris Paul, do they go?
29:46
Speaker 3: You know, Chris Paul's been out of basketball or retired
29:49
Speaker 3: like again, like that to me, cool, like that, that's
29:53
Speaker 3: what you're gonna go with. That ain't winning anything, and
29:56
Speaker 3: and he's not getting any younger, and those les aren't
30:00
Speaker 3: getting any fresh tread like as much as he is
30:03
Speaker 3: now going to have. I saw this over the last
30:06
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. He's gonna be the most rested and
30:08
Speaker 3: prepared for an NBA season he's been a long time.
30:10
Speaker 3: Because he's not going to play internationally. Well, people been
30:13
Speaker 3: asking him not to play internationally for four years. Maybe
30:16
Speaker 3: that would have helped you over the last five years.
30:18
Speaker 5: You know, the idea that he's going to fit right
30:20
Speaker 5: in with Bam when well, that fit right in with
30:23
Speaker 5: the Dame very well. Of course they never really got
30:25
Speaker 5: a chance to test that out. Matt Moore on the
30:28
Speaker 5: X Set. I feel for Bucks fans. Losing these players
30:31
Speaker 5: is so tough.
30:31
Speaker 3: Man.
30:32
Speaker 5: Fans care so much about them, when they build legacies
30:34
Speaker 5: for their cities. You buy the gear and cheer and
30:36
Speaker 5: yell and scream and defend them online versus anything you
30:39
Speaker 5: think is an attack.
30:40
Speaker 3: And then one day.
30:40
Speaker 5: They're in another jersey Welcome to sports of it, being
30:45
Speaker 5: kicked in the nads and you got to think about
30:46
Speaker 5: the thirteen years of joy you.
30:48
Speaker 3: Got out of Yannis.
30:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's what you try and have grantitude, But
30:51
Speaker 4: it's hard on a moment because it's surreal. Yeah, it's
30:54
Speaker 4: just surreal to think about all the days and all
30:57
Speaker 4: the years we worried about him leaving.
30:59
Speaker 5: Well, and that's it's It's not dissimilar from the exits
31:02
Speaker 5: of Brett Farv and Aaron Rodgers. We had a lot
31:04
Speaker 5: of wishy, washy feelings back then. The road the roller coaster,
31:07
Speaker 5: that's what it was, and that's I guess that's what
31:10
Speaker 5: it is. That's the state of sports these days.
31:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt, Sam on the talking text line, never
31:14
Speaker 3: going to forget the feeling Giannis gave me being able
31:16
Speaker 3: to watch him win a championship with my son in
31:18
Speaker 3: my arms, And that is true, like the memories will
31:21
Speaker 3: last for a long time and gave a lot of
31:23
Speaker 3: folks a lot of memories that nobody thought they were
31:25
Speaker 3: going to see Bob from Baraboo Giannis you saying he
31:28
Speaker 3: wanted to sign it goes to a title contender? Is
31:30
Speaker 3: Miami really that after gutting their team? What also isn't
31:34
Speaker 3: Tyler here on the last year of his contract. Are
31:35
Speaker 3: we flipping him too? I've heard rumors Bob very much.
31:39
Speaker 3: So there's very much a possibility and probably a likelihood
31:42
Speaker 3: that Hero doesn't play for the Bucks. There's also some talking.
31:46
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe they could move where in company.
31:48
Speaker 3: But you got a lot of younger players that would
31:52
Speaker 3: be in the mix, and Hero is due for a
31:55
Speaker 3: contract extension, and maybe you give it to him, maybe
31:58
Speaker 3: you don't. They got some pieces here, but they're gonna
32:01
Speaker 3: have more that are going to come into the fold
32:04
Speaker 3: over the.
32:04
Speaker 5: Next Heroes may thirty three million on the last year
32:07
Speaker 5: of a four year, one hundred and twenty million dollar extension.
32:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's probably in line for about a thirty five
32:12
Speaker 3: thirty six million a year extension.
32:14
Speaker 5: That would think, and what do we give it to him?
32:16
Speaker 5: Then hometown kid? Does he play for the Bucks? That's
32:19
Speaker 5: another question out of this. So the Bucks flip him
32:21
Speaker 5: to Detroit for more assets.
32:23
Speaker 3: That's the that was the early rumor of the team
32:26
Speaker 3: or maybe Orlando. I have heard that they can also
32:28
Speaker 3: get a large trade exception or build onto the trade exception.
32:31
Speaker 3: If they build it into this this deal right now,
32:33
Speaker 3: they're gonna grab like twenty million back that you can
32:36
Speaker 3: take someone's bad contract and get picks for you're you're
32:38
Speaker 3: in a full scale back mode. I would just struggle
32:42
Speaker 3: to think that they got even more of it and
32:44
Speaker 3: trade more of those guys off, because again, you don't
32:46
Speaker 3: have control of your picks. That's why I thought the
32:49
Speaker 3: brown one to then be able to potentially move Jalen
32:52
Speaker 3: over to Portland or keep and just play and make
32:55
Speaker 3: do with it. You don't, It doesn't It's not very
32:59
Speaker 3: advantage for you to be one of the five worst
33:02
Speaker 3: teams in the league, because then all of a sudden
33:03
Speaker 3: another team gets to read most of those rewards I
33:06
Speaker 3: just got.
33:06
Speaker 5: I just saw a message on Facebook from someone said,
33:09
Speaker 5: why am I more sad about Bobby port Is leaving
33:11
Speaker 5: than Jannis?
33:12
Speaker 3: Bobby That's an that's an under gonna be an underrated.
33:16
Speaker 3: Bobby Is like the Niger Morgan of the bos. He
33:18
Speaker 3: was the battle cry for buck Wallace fort for lack
33:24
Speaker 3: of a better term, for a lot of people.
33:26
Speaker 4: I mean, this is a big change, it's an air emotionally,
33:28
Speaker 4: but maybe it was right that they both left together
33:31
Speaker 4: because that whole era. Sure the Bobby Portis would be
33:34
Speaker 4: the last remndence of that empire.
33:35
Speaker 3: It is just it might not have been right, so
33:38
Speaker 3: maybe it was right to do it this way. I
33:39
Speaker 3: don't know.
33:40
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just the guy, like Okay. Then the
33:43
Speaker 5: other thing is like, we're gonna hear from Giannis. You're
33:45
Speaker 5: gonna hear from John Horse tonight after the draft.
33:47
Speaker 3: I don't know when you will be able to talk
33:48
Speaker 3: about this though, because this won't go down until July sixth.
33:51
Speaker 5: I don't know when NIS's presser will be in South Beach,
33:54
Speaker 5: but we'll obviously be watching and listening to that with
33:57
Speaker 5: very close attention.
33:59
Speaker 3: But don't you want to hear from Taylor Jenkins. I'd
34:02
Speaker 3: love to hear from everybody, but he's definitely one of them,
34:05
Speaker 3: Taylor Jenkins.
34:05
Speaker 5: I want to you know, it's like, oh, he took
34:07
Speaker 5: the job knowing this was in the cards. Yeah, he
34:10
Speaker 5: knew what was happening, all right, So you gotta that
34:13
Speaker 5: takes the pressure off the rebuild. I mean, it takes
34:15
Speaker 5: a pressure off of what your year one record is
34:17
Speaker 5: going to be. Obviously, their competitors want to have a
34:19
Speaker 5: good number, but it can enter with pretty low expectations
34:23
Speaker 5: and build a new culture. Basically, the Bucks are starting
34:26
Speaker 5: from scratch. Now it's a it's a new culture. There
34:28
Speaker 5: might be you know whatever, like KPJ and those guys.
34:32
Speaker 5: It's it's a new sheriff in town. It's not Doc anymore.
34:35
Speaker 5: And the guys that are coming back Ryan Rollins a
34:37
Speaker 5: young impression, but.
34:38
Speaker 3: It sounds like they'll actually be a sheriff. Taylor Taylor
34:40
Speaker 3: Jenkins can actually mold this the way he wants.
34:43
Speaker 5: So is now it's like, who's the most important person
34:46
Speaker 5: in the Bucks organization? Is it Taylor Jenkins? Is it
34:48
Speaker 5: John Horse because of what has to come? Is it
34:50
Speaker 5: kalel Ware?
34:51
Speaker 3: Is it? Who is who's the lead player?
34:55
Speaker 4: Is it?
34:55
Speaker 3: Who's who's the guy? You know, that's a great question,
34:59
Speaker 3: who's the who's the Uh don't we know yet?
35:01
Speaker 5: Who's the most important person to the Bucks future? And
35:05
Speaker 5: I'm throwing out again, like who wins a title? Person
35:08
Speaker 5: who wins more games over the next five years of
35:10
Speaker 5: the Bucks or the Heat?
35:11
Speaker 3: That's an interesting question. Well, he will definitely win more.
35:13
Speaker 4: Games in my opinion, I don't know how you feel,
35:15
Speaker 4: a billy. I think the Heat will definitely win more games.
35:16
Speaker 4: The question the title is and what if gets hurt?
35:19
Speaker 5: What if Bam gets hurt, like they look a little thin,
35:21
Speaker 5: like we said, like it's it's not dissimilar to.
35:24
Speaker 3: What then the injury part is, is it ran with
35:26
Speaker 3: the Bucks? You can't. Now they have a good Cody
35:28
Speaker 3: injury part there. They have a great coach, They have
35:30
Speaker 3: a coach that the coaching is maybe the best thing
35:33
Speaker 3: that they have going for them, because again, BAM's a
35:35
Speaker 3: very very nice player, no doubt about it, get a
35:36
Speaker 3: multiple time All Star. But nobody was setting destinations to
35:41
Speaker 3: have bam Adebayo be their number one piece outside of
35:44
Speaker 3: when you want to move to South Beach. So I
35:46
Speaker 3: think this is as much of a life move as
35:48
Speaker 3: it is a basketball move, more of a life move
35:51
Speaker 3: than a basketball move. There were better basketball destinations for
35:54
Speaker 3: Giannis to want and force his way to. He wanted
35:57
Speaker 3: to go live in Miami, which I totally Understan Fans
36:00
Speaker 3: totally appreciate. Now, go and enjoy it, Go and enjoy
36:04
Speaker 3: the fruits of that labor, and enjoy that Calshie money,
36:07
Speaker 3: because I imagine that there's gonna be even more of
36:09
Speaker 3: it that's flowing into that tachop.
36:10
Speaker 5: It's right eight seven seven, seven nine four one ninety
36:13
Speaker 5: seven three. We're working through it, Yannis as a heatle,
36:17
Speaker 5: You're in the huddle. The Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin Day one,
36:28
Speaker 5: the post Jannis era in Milwaukee and Wisconsin. Eight seven
36:32
Speaker 5: seven seven nine four one seventy three h one nine
36:36
Speaker 5: seven three is the nicolay lot dot Com Talking text
36:38
Speaker 5: line eight seven seven seven nine four one ninety seven three.
36:40
Speaker 5: You text us, you can talk to us like Mike
36:43
Speaker 5: and Shorewood has been waiting on the line to talk
36:45
Speaker 5: to us. He's a five o'clock club member. Mike, Welcome
36:48
Speaker 5: to the program. What are you thinking about the departure
36:50
Speaker 5: of number thirty four.
36:53
Speaker 2: Born in Fellas. Yeah, to me, I'm gonna tip my
36:55
Speaker 2: cap and salute Tiannis. Been incredible athlete, the greatest fucking
37:00
Speaker 2: in franchise history in my opinion. He gave us the
37:02
Speaker 2: title twenty one. What an awesome run that was in
37:05
Speaker 2: the parade. Also the two MVPs, the defensive player and
37:08
Speaker 2: you're just highlight after highlight for thirteen plus years. I
37:11
Speaker 2: don't expect athletes to remain with one team anymore. I
37:14
Speaker 2: think it's just it's very rare. We're rarely going to
37:17
Speaker 2: see it. So I didn't expect of Rihannas to retire
37:20
Speaker 2: a buck, so give us that brand specing new arena,
37:23
Speaker 2: and now we got a haul for jannest it's incumbent
37:26
Speaker 2: upon John Horse now to take advantage of the situation.
37:29
Speaker 2: I was the They tried their best to make it
37:30
Speaker 2: work out, the Dame situation. Unfortunately with his injuries derailed
37:35
Speaker 2: a lot of our playoff runs, but we did get
37:37
Speaker 2: that one title. So now John Horse got a haul
37:39
Speaker 2: of young players and picks, go ahead and rebuild. Now
37:42
Speaker 2: this going forward, and it's for you, honest, I don't know.
37:45
Speaker 2: Maybe Miami is a better city living and for most people,
37:48
Speaker 2: but I just don't think the team itself, he's going
37:50
Speaker 2: to be that much better off there, So it's going
37:53
Speaker 2: to be interesting to watch him and Bam and what
37:55
Speaker 2: it's going to be a bunch of spare parts and
37:57
Speaker 2: vetman guys to make it all work. So I don't know.
38:01
Speaker 2: And the thing you got to worry about if you'r
38:03
Speaker 2: Miami is his injury history. So he needs to have
38:06
Speaker 2: let us have in greatness in him, and sometimes Bams
38:08
Speaker 2: can't stay healthy, so it's gonna be fascinating to watch them.
38:11
Speaker 2: But uh, no negative vibes towards him. He gave us
38:13
Speaker 2: thirteen years. He didn't do the Aaron Rodgers just create
38:16
Speaker 2: chaos year after year. There was some talk lately, but
38:19
Speaker 2: I mean that's just gonna be the national talking heads.
38:22
Speaker 2: So it finally happened, and finally I'm just happy he
38:24
Speaker 2: didn't go to Boston. I really would have despised him
38:27
Speaker 2: if he went to Boston. I can't stand the Celtics.
38:29
Speaker 2: The heat really are not that that's that unlikable, you know, whatever,
38:32
Speaker 2: people say what they want to say about them. But
38:34
Speaker 2: if he went to Boston, I totally despised this. So
38:37
Speaker 2: I'm just happy he didn't end up there. That would
38:39
Speaker 2: have been awful. So uh heynas Polder, heads up high,
38:43
Speaker 2: thanks for the time.
38:44
Speaker 3: Let's go Mike. Uh yeah. Definitely the lesser of the
38:48
Speaker 3: two evils in the Boston to Miami one. I one
38:51
Speaker 3: thousand percent agree there.
38:53
Speaker 2: I don't.
38:53
Speaker 3: I don't fully agree with you know, less less drama
38:57
Speaker 3: than other ones. But I think there's something else to
39:00
Speaker 3: this of He's different because you still remember him as
39:05
Speaker 3: a eighteen year old walking from Wells Fargo to the arena,
39:10
Speaker 3: and there's so much growth that drew, as he mentioned
39:12
Speaker 3: there from the city that is directly tied to Giannis, Like,
39:16
Speaker 3: there's a lot in the city that we love, in
39:19
Speaker 3: that area of downtown that otherwise was an absolute wasteland
39:23
Speaker 3: and that you could almost see tumbleweeds right just blow past.
39:27
Speaker 3: Now it's a live part of downtown. Hopefully it continues
39:30
Speaker 3: as the Bucks. Maybe you have to get a little
39:33
Speaker 3: bit more into the earlier ten two thousands range, where
39:37
Speaker 3: you know you're finding some tickets a lot more accessible
39:39
Speaker 3: at a Wendy's or things like that, because I assume
39:41
Speaker 3: if you haven't been able to afford going to Bucks
39:43
Speaker 3: games over the last couple of years, I think it's
39:45
Speaker 3: gonna be a little bit easier over there. I think
39:47
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a little bit easier in twenty six,
39:49
Speaker 3: twenty seven. I can't imagine this is a great day
39:51
Speaker 3: for a season tickets sales department in this hand.
39:54
Speaker 5: I can't imagine that here. But hey, who knows, it
39:57
Speaker 5: might be discounts, Brad and Sheboygan or any of Giannis's
40:00
Speaker 5: happy brothers still on the Bucks.
40:01
Speaker 3: I hope not. Uh So, alex Is a restricted free agent,
40:06
Speaker 3: got a feeling he might be non tendered, and fanasas
40:10
Speaker 3: Is was on a one year deal. So he is,
40:12
Speaker 3: he is a free agent, totally able to sign with
40:16
Speaker 3: the heat they have. They have roster spots, they got spots.
40:19
Speaker 3: I don't think they got spots.
40:21
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if they gave Fanasas a spot
40:23
Speaker 4: on the bench. Everyone jokes about that, but I wouldn't
40:25
Speaker 4: be totally surprised because I don't know.
40:27
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I put
40:30
Speaker 3: him on the staff.
40:32
Speaker 4: I don't know. Maybe maybe not yeah, maybe I'm the
40:35
Speaker 4: staff or like yeah, supporting staff or something like that.
40:37
Speaker 4: But they're gonna try and make it work. Now with Gianness,
40:40
Speaker 4: they're gonna try and make it work with Bam, They're
40:42
Speaker 4: gonna try and be the ninety four Knicks the other man.
40:45
Speaker 5: So as you debate this though, and again like different situations,
40:48
Speaker 5: different ears.
40:49
Speaker 3: We talked a little bit about it yesterday.
40:51
Speaker 5: In terms of impact, Yanni's most important player in franchise,
40:55
Speaker 5: most interesting player in franchise history. But Kareem was here
40:58
Speaker 5: half the time. Kareem won three m VPS, one title,
41:03
Speaker 5: three scoring championships, appeared in another was all the All
41:06
Speaker 5: Star Games. He appeared in another finals, and you know
41:10
Speaker 5: that was when the Bucks were just a baby franchise. Yeah,
41:14
Speaker 5: he have to established them and Giannis helped save them.
41:17
Speaker 3: Both have both have a measurable impact. Yeah.
41:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like they're both two of the all time
41:22
Speaker 5: greats in the game. So I'm not that quick to
41:24
Speaker 5: say Jannis is absolutely the most important, the best player
41:27
Speaker 5: in franchise history.
41:28
Speaker 3: Well, you know, again, I made that mistake, window, story, window.
41:31
Speaker 5: But what Kareem packed into six years, like even the
41:34
Speaker 5: points and rebounds and stuff. Be honest, it took him
41:36
Speaker 5: a longer time time to be able to get back,
41:38
Speaker 5: to be able to get into Kareem's level tough one. Well,
41:42
Speaker 5: there's also well, and there's also levels to it. I mean,
41:44
Speaker 5: Kareem is at worst a top four player of all time, yes, yeah,
41:48
Speaker 5: for sure.
41:49
Speaker 3: Agree Nis is at worst, what a top thirty player
41:51
Speaker 3: of all time?
41:52
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, yeah, so I think you're talking about
41:56
Speaker 4: obviously legend.
41:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, so to unseee the legend like Kareem would be.
41:59
Speaker 4: But you know, he did give more service time to
42:01
Speaker 4: the team than Kareem any and he ostensibly.
42:04
Speaker 3: Twice as long. But he liked Milwaukee and made it
42:06
Speaker 3: his home war too.
42:07
Speaker 5: I think that's a big Now, I wonder, if you
42:08
Speaker 5: be honest, he's got that palace in River Hills, does
42:10
Speaker 5: he sell that to Tyler Hero, buy that with a
42:13
Speaker 5: basketball court in it and stuff, and.
42:16
Speaker 4: Or does he totally disassociate with the city. I don't
42:19
Speaker 4: see that his father is buried here, but I don't
42:22
Speaker 4: think for the time being, he's gonna have much to
42:23
Speaker 4: do with Milwaukee. Yeah, there's a lot of folks that
42:26
Speaker 4: have the glue to to buy that that place. Oh,
42:29
Speaker 4: private equity money is out there, Billy, a lot of
42:32
Speaker 4: private equity money in Milwaukee.
42:35
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. I mean, this is gonna.
42:37
Speaker 5: Be be another player. I mean, or that's what happens.
42:41
Speaker 5: Players usually sell their houses to other.
42:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's got to be a player that can
42:44
Speaker 3: afford that. One's in a different tax bracket. It's true.
42:48
Speaker 5: All right, we're just off and running. It's the Tuesday edition,
42:51
Speaker 5: Postonnis Edition to the Huddle.
