1:51
Speaker 6: My name is Drew, joined by Bill Schmid, armand Sarian
1:55
Speaker 6: and we are ready to tear into it today because
1:57
Speaker 6: it is Thursday. We're getting close to the weekend, closer
2:00
Speaker 6: to the super Bowl, closer to nicer freaking weather.
2:04
Speaker 3: I like that idea.
2:05
Speaker 6: Yeah maybe, and closer perhaps to the end of one
2:09
Speaker 6: of the great chapters in Wisconsin sports history, the honest
2:12
Speaker 6: goopo era.
2:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Drew it just yeah, you can hit the
2:18
Speaker 3: sad horn. You can hit the sad horn. Now, I'm
2:20
Speaker 3: gonna take a potentially different tone of others than this,
2:23
Speaker 3: and I know definitely the one arm and sorry and
2:25
Speaker 3: on the other side, uh, it not doing well. At
2:28
Speaker 3: some point it's gonna be good that it's over, right,
2:30
Speaker 3: Like at some point that I'm just like, it's gotten
2:33
Speaker 3: to a point in a melted the pot has gotten
2:37
Speaker 3: to such a boil that the thing that I never
2:41
Speaker 3: wanted to see happen, I think is starting to happen
2:45
Speaker 3: where certain infections of the fan base, I think myself included,
2:50
Speaker 3: are just so done with both sides, and frankly, more
2:53
Speaker 3: of the anger is gonna start going towards Giannis. Right.
2:56
Speaker 3: More anger might be the wrong word, just like general
3:00
Speaker 3: frustration with not wanting to say what you clearly want
3:03
Speaker 3: and at some point you just got to say it,
3:05
Speaker 3: if indeed that's the case. But yesterday did also feel
3:10
Speaker 3: like once again cham Sharani is just covering every single
3:14
Speaker 3: base like a groundscrew running a tarpaut there because my
3:17
Speaker 3: man didn't really say anything yesterday in all estimation that
3:22
Speaker 3: was much different than what we had heard before that. Yeah,
3:26
Speaker 3: outside of maybe the bucks are willing to listen, which
3:29
Speaker 3: I think wink wink, nudge, nudge, they've kind of been.
3:34
Speaker 3: If indeed your reporting was accurate in the beginning of
3:36
Speaker 3: the year when they had back and forth conversations of
3:40
Speaker 3: a trade with the New York Knicks. Either was a
3:43
Speaker 3: false report or they've been listening for a long time
3:46
Speaker 3: and the translation is the offers aren't good enough, so
3:50
Speaker 3: keep working and keep trying, and we'll talk to you
3:52
Speaker 3: maybe in the office.
3:53
Speaker 6: That is again, that's been my position is that you
3:56
Speaker 6: can't do it in the season. It's just too hard
3:58
Speaker 6: on the fly. The stuff that you're seeing. Oh, the
4:00
Speaker 6: Warriors could offer Jimmy Butler, who's like, what thirty seven
4:04
Speaker 6: and just blew out his a cl a.
4:05
Speaker 3: Week and a half away recovery. That's good pick up. Yeah,
4:09
Speaker 3: but he went to Marquette, so therefore he would go
4:12
Speaker 3: back to Milwaukee.
4:13
Speaker 5: J Crowner hands yesterday.
4:15
Speaker 6: Minga, who's like, he's not damaged goods right now? Right,
4:18
Speaker 6: So there isn't a package. Timing is everything in life,
4:23
Speaker 6: and the Bucks if they move on from you, honest,
4:25
Speaker 6: would be two years after uh Michel Bridges brought five
4:29
Speaker 6: first round picks and teams are like, well, we're not
4:33
Speaker 6: doing that anymore.
4:34
Speaker 5: Like it does feel like those types of deals.
4:36
Speaker 3: Are those on the lot anymore. No teams are realizing well,
4:39
Speaker 3: that's not really my best.
4:41
Speaker 2: But are these when we see these little deal rumors,
4:44
Speaker 2: it's just like the fan fiction people used to fill
4:47
Speaker 2: content or these what really would happen?
4:48
Speaker 3: Like these real rumors. Anybody who can put in that
4:51
Speaker 3: trade calculators and stuff. But that's the thing. I think
4:54
Speaker 3: certain things have to but again you can't. You can't.
4:59
Speaker 3: Some of us are old enough to have remembered or
5:02
Speaker 3: be alive.
5:02
Speaker 6: When the Bucks had a trade Kareem and they got
5:05
Speaker 6: some guys that ended up helping sustain a long run
5:09
Speaker 6: of Yes they didn't win a championship, but a long
5:11
Speaker 6: run of relevance and being competitiveness, no doubt, being good
5:15
Speaker 6: and just bedrock players that they got two numbers in
5:18
Speaker 6: the Raptors.
5:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
5:20
Speaker 5: And it'll still feel like it's never equal.
5:21
Speaker 3: It's never equal.
5:22
Speaker 6: So it's you can't put a value on what Giannis
5:26
Speaker 6: has meant to the fan base, to the city, to
5:27
Speaker 6: the state.
5:29
Speaker 3: Just it's irreplaceable. It's like it's elemental. You can't do it.
5:33
Speaker 3: But the Bucks have to get the best return that
5:34
Speaker 3: they can.
5:35
Speaker 6: Can they do that in the season, Well, they can try,
5:37
Speaker 6: but there's no ticking time bomb for the Bucks that
5:40
Speaker 6: I can tell other than the media churn and the
5:44
Speaker 6: fact that the deadline, because on February sixth, if you
5:47
Speaker 6: honest is still a Buck, then we don't have to
5:48
Speaker 6: hear about it until the summer.
5:49
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, well until the postseason, because the once one
5:54
Speaker 3: team is eliminated, it'll be are they the next suitor
5:56
Speaker 3: for won't until you're hearing the stuff.
5:59
Speaker 6: And there's a lot of stuff at play, because last
6:02
Speaker 6: night Lebron went back to Cleveland and got the got
6:06
Speaker 6: the Kings welcome right, and Bronni they got They lost
6:09
Speaker 6: by thirty, but Bronnie got some burn and you know,
6:12
Speaker 6: Lebron's mom got to see her son and grandson play.
6:15
Speaker 6: Well the tribute video and you got the tribute video.
6:18
Speaker 6: Anybody have you seen Lebron cry before that? Probably not. Yeah,
6:22
Speaker 6: they might have known something too, but but no. The
6:25
Speaker 6: way the league works is like, Okay, well is this Lebron'
6:28
Speaker 6: last year? We'll look how he's playing, look how productive
6:30
Speaker 6: he is. Is it his last year in LA Will
6:33
Speaker 6: he put a bow on his career and play one
6:35
Speaker 6: year in Cleveland with the guys that they have? Hell,
6:38
Speaker 6: could they trade for him right now and have him
6:40
Speaker 6: play in the postseason with Cleveland because the Lakers aren't
6:42
Speaker 6: going anywhere. So so that's the churn now, and maybe
6:46
Speaker 6: it'd be great if the NBA would like move on
6:49
Speaker 6: to that, be distracted by that shiny object and talk
6:52
Speaker 6: about Lebron maybe going back to Cleveland to finish up.
6:54
Speaker 6: And then it made me think, well, what if you
6:56
Speaker 6: Honis goes somewhere else, grabs an MVP and a title
6:58
Speaker 6: and gets another, it gets more flowers.
7:00
Speaker 3: And comes back and finishes in Milwaukee. Would you sign
7:03
Speaker 3: up for that story right now?
7:04
Speaker 6: The Bucks get a package of players, Giannis goes off,
7:07
Speaker 6: wins the title somewhere, we watch them in Houston, San Antonio, Miami,
7:10
Speaker 6: wherever it is, and then maybe not Miami, not that one.
7:13
Speaker 3: But then you say, all right, and then he comes
7:16
Speaker 3: back and finishes here a farewell. Ye yeah, maybe with
7:20
Speaker 3: his son. Yeah, you know, Michael.
7:22
Speaker 6: All the scenarios are on the table, but there's there's
7:24
Speaker 6: a lot of stuff. There's so many plates spinning on this,
7:27
Speaker 6: and you go through all the emotions and you're right, Billy,
7:29
Speaker 6: I just hope it doesn't get into where it's like, ah,
7:31
Speaker 6: Giannis is holding us up and he's killing the franchise. No,
7:34
Speaker 6: like that's not it, right, No, it's not it's natural
7:38
Speaker 6: that you do that because we're all frustrated. And again
7:41
Speaker 6: with the shams and these guys that that are throwing
7:43
Speaker 6: stuff and the speculation, we don't really know.
7:46
Speaker 3: No, in France, I could just say, well, you know,
7:49
Speaker 3: I don't mean to diminish the journalism because I don't
7:51
Speaker 3: want anybody to think that I'm the journalism police here
7:53
Speaker 3: and far from it. I'm an annoyance if anything, into
7:56
Speaker 3: a microphone. But like, I don't know that any of
7:58
Speaker 3: them fully know anything, right, Like, ultimately it seems like
8:02
Speaker 3: Chris Haynes comes out and contradicts what Champs puts out
8:05
Speaker 3: last night. He's like, nothing changed from the honest camp right,
8:08
Speaker 3: Like he's okay with it. Well, he's fine, he said
8:10
Speaker 3: last week or two weeks ago. I'm an employee. They
8:13
Speaker 3: might move me because they realize that there's no way
8:16
Speaker 3: out potentially of this thing. And then you hear that.
8:20
Speaker 6: Rich Paul is kind of back benching stuff and trying
8:23
Speaker 6: to get Yannis's business, trying to get in business with
8:25
Speaker 6: Giannis and trying to get him out of Milwaukee. And
8:27
Speaker 6: positioning to have Giannis fire his longtime buddy as it's
8:32
Speaker 6: like Rich Paul is gonna get him out. Who's feeding
8:35
Speaker 6: these guys chomps and the insider network, Well, Rich Paul
8:39
Speaker 6: rich agents, and so Rich Paul is putting stuff out
8:42
Speaker 6: there to those guys that then gets in.
8:44
Speaker 5: The churn and you just don't know those in a
8:47
Speaker 5: battle of agents.
8:47
Speaker 3: Behind the scenes, somebody wants he had a piece of
8:51
Speaker 3: the nearly three hundred million dollars super Max that he's
8:54
Speaker 3: gonna sign that. Yeah, of course that's it.
8:59
Speaker 6: So there's so there's that, and then this wishful stuff
9:02
Speaker 6: and then the smoke coming and maybe other gms.
9:05
Speaker 3: It's it's just.
9:06
Speaker 6: Are other teams talking about what, Yeah, of course there
9:09
Speaker 6: because Giannis is an attractive piece. And then again are
9:11
Speaker 6: other teams like looking at it and staring at it
9:14
Speaker 6: and trying to look under the hood because Giannis has
9:17
Speaker 6: had these calf injuries. Well that's the part older and
9:19
Speaker 6: if he was healthy right now, it'd be probably more robust,
9:23
Speaker 6: but he's on the shelf and you don't know, and
9:25
Speaker 6: the damn the damned calf injuries then lead to achilles.
9:28
Speaker 3: Well, and I don't know how you you'll feel about it,
9:31
Speaker 3: and maybe it'll be different once we get later into
9:33
Speaker 3: the year. But to Armann's question initially of like, are
9:36
Speaker 3: these the actual conversations in the actual packages or is
9:39
Speaker 3: this just what people have thrown into the trade machine
9:42
Speaker 3: and generated a couple of things with some fan fiction.
9:45
Speaker 3: Part of it, the underwhelming nature of the returns is
9:50
Speaker 3: the fact that he has been dinged for the majority
9:53
Speaker 3: of the last four years. They posted a graphic yesterday
9:56
Speaker 3: when I saw them talking about it in NFS. One
9:58
Speaker 3: of all the other players that have won multiple mv
10:00
Speaker 3: peas and have been you know, six or seven time
10:03
Speaker 3: first team All NBAS, he's played in by far the
10:06
Speaker 3: fewest playoff games. A large portion of that due to
10:09
Speaker 3: his own on not being able to be healthy, but
10:12
Speaker 3: them not getting out of the first round over the
10:14
Speaker 3: last four years. So both sides are complicit in it.
10:17
Speaker 2: But to.
10:19
Speaker 3: Be an acquiring team everyone wants to throw out Oklahoma City.
10:23
Speaker 3: I don't know, but you guys don't see it happening.
10:24
Speaker 3: I don't see them blowing up. Maybe they up the
10:27
Speaker 3: team that's gonna win seventy games, the best Sea we've
10:30
Speaker 3: seen in a decade. I don't think they're trading it
10:32
Speaker 3: for a thirty one year old who's got multiple injuries.
10:35
Speaker 3: I also don't know that you're seeing a lot of
10:37
Speaker 3: teams do that. Right up until right at the deadline, Drew,
10:40
Speaker 3: a lot of people are talking about that you got Wemby.
10:42
Speaker 6: He's kind of a Yiannis type, Like we're rolling, you know,
10:45
Speaker 6: and we've lost eleven games, We're okay.
10:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I get that, but I still think and again,
10:52
Speaker 5: I still say.
10:52
Speaker 6: It's got to be a six team bank shot because
10:54
Speaker 6: of all the ascid's, because uh, the NBA establishment has
10:58
Speaker 6: realized that that Michel Bridges trade was a disaster. Like
11:03
Speaker 6: to give up five first round picks is like for
11:05
Speaker 6: that guy.
11:06
Speaker 5: Well, Bain also, Bain got four. There's a lot of him.
11:09
Speaker 3: And the biggest deal is those guys had four to
11:11
Speaker 3: five years left on a contract, right, Giannis has one. Well,
11:14
Speaker 3: and that's the thing, and he could very much do
11:16
Speaker 3: a Kawhi Leonard and play one year in Leaf and is.
11:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, And is anybody gonna sign him without knowing
11:21
Speaker 6: that they can sign him to the extension because they
11:23
Speaker 6: got it. If it's traded now he can get a
11:25
Speaker 6: Supermax with his new team. He can get the Supermax
11:28
Speaker 6: with the new.
11:28
Speaker 3: Team, but he's expired out of a certain version of
11:32
Speaker 3: the Bird Rights where he can sign a pretty similar
11:35
Speaker 3: packet contract. So wherever he ends up going dois likes
11:39
Speaker 3: his money. He likes is in the Costanza Arman Sarian
11:45
Speaker 3: camp of being frugal.
11:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is funny because he's kind of pulling the
11:48
Speaker 2: Some people think he's pulling the Costanza when he was
11:50
Speaker 2: at play.
11:50
Speaker 5: Now is like trying to get forced to to forcing
11:53
Speaker 5: you to trade him.
11:54
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm gonna keep working, I'm gonna keep showing up,
11:56
Speaker 2: showing up inside Baseball Reference.
11:58
Speaker 5: I don't for those Seinfeld guys.
11:59
Speaker 2: I don't bill your point like, you don't want to
12:02
Speaker 2: see it evolve into him becoming so much of a
12:05
Speaker 2: battered villain from fans.
12:06
Speaker 5: You don't want that goodwill to be that.
12:09
Speaker 2: Why I get your point is where you're saying, like,
12:11
Speaker 2: this might be best situation people are coming around to like.
12:13
Speaker 3: Well because he's also he's also just And this is
12:17
Speaker 3: the part with the people. I don't like how he's
12:19
Speaker 3: doing it. Yeah, if you want out say it, you're not.
12:22
Speaker 3: He's not saying it with this If you want out
12:24
Speaker 3: safe right now. Maybe that's just because I've become too
12:26
Speaker 3: accustomed with NBA players doing it, and maybe it's not
12:30
Speaker 3: the best form of business. But with the amount of
12:32
Speaker 3: conversation and the drum beat and now we're gonna go
12:35
Speaker 3: over here and we're gonna talk out it kind of
12:36
Speaker 3: both sides of our mouth. We're gonna have the conversation
12:38
Speaker 3: with Sam Amic and then a week later say, well,
12:40
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm gonna be on the team. Now.
12:42
Speaker 3: New information very much can flare up, right. John Horst
12:45
Speaker 3: could have a conversation after the game and be like, brother,
12:48
Speaker 3: this thing's shot. Look at this, Look look at what
12:51
Speaker 3: we got. He'll start looking for That's where the conversation
12:54
Speaker 3: comes again. I would just appreciate some full transmit. Again.
12:57
Speaker 6: What they always say, and we hear it in Green Bay,
13:00
Speaker 6: you hear it all the time, is like it's different
13:02
Speaker 6: in the building, right because if you're in the building
13:06
Speaker 6: and Giannis probably here, here's the thing.
13:10
Speaker 3: Schams's Shams.
13:11
Speaker 6: He's created his brand and he makes whatever makes fifteen
13:14
Speaker 6: million dollars a year to tweet, which is good work.
13:16
Speaker 6: If you can get it, you should definitely thank Quoich
13:18
Speaker 6: for it, and Shams has you know, he's he's has
13:21
Speaker 6: his strengths and he's created this thing that and you
13:23
Speaker 6: can say he's wrong, he's wrong. He's just tripling down
13:25
Speaker 6: so that eventually he'll be right, that Giannics will get
13:27
Speaker 6: traded and saye.
13:28
Speaker 3: Yea, I've been telling you all along, sports meteorologist.
13:30
Speaker 6: But inside the if you're the Bucks, though, Horst Rivers
13:35
Speaker 6: and even Giannest to extent, if you got your head
13:36
Speaker 6: down and stuff, Nis probably laughs.
13:38
Speaker 3: You think Shams has ever spoken to be honest, I
13:41
Speaker 3: would doubt it. I'd very much doubt it. Drew the
13:45
Speaker 3: people who speaks to this agents, as I was gonna say,
13:47
Speaker 3: has has Adam Schefter ever spoken to Justin Herbert? He
13:52
Speaker 3: tried to speak to Aaron Rodgers?
13:54
Speaker 4: Right?
13:54
Speaker 2: Or was?
13:57
Speaker 3: I thought it was Schefter?
13:59
Speaker 2: It wasn't think he'd be kind of like.
14:03
Speaker 3: Lose my number.
14:04
Speaker 6: But the inside the building, if you're the Bucks, and
14:07
Speaker 6: if you know, nothing's changed, like why does Giannis have
14:09
Speaker 6: to say it? And he's just kind of watching the
14:11
Speaker 6: side show and it's not their job or concern to
14:14
Speaker 6: tamp down these fires.
14:15
Speaker 3: Really, if you're you know, he might he might if
14:19
Speaker 3: your house is in the palisades and you can see
14:21
Speaker 3: the fire in the distance, you know you're worried about
14:24
Speaker 3: stuff in your house rather than you know, tamping down.
14:27
Speaker 2: And he might be sitting there saying, look, I'm gonna
14:29
Speaker 2: sign it. It's all the same to me right now.
14:31
Speaker 2: He might have the same plan as that he always had.
14:33
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, we just don't know. And like, here's
14:36
Speaker 2: the thing, Like Giannis is like, oh, he wants out,
14:38
Speaker 2: he wants out. This sucks, like I think, and I'm
14:41
Speaker 2: just throwing it out there. I think if you gave
14:44
Speaker 2: him his wish, he want to stay in Milwaukee with
14:47
Speaker 2: a team that can compete. Told him that's why does
14:51
Speaker 2: he like, I want out of here? It's like, no,
14:53
Speaker 2: I want to stay here, put guys around me.
14:55
Speaker 3: That we can win with.
14:56
Speaker 5: Well, that's your point, Billy.
14:57
Speaker 2: The only real part of the story yesterday that was
14:59
Speaker 2: significan was it The bucks are listening offers now right,
15:02
Speaker 2: And the.
15:02
Speaker 3: Bucks were always listening to Well, it's Doug Melvin. My
15:06
Speaker 3: house isn't for sale. I have no plans to move.
15:08
Speaker 6: But if someone drives up and rings my doorbell and
15:10
Speaker 6: says I'm gonna give you five million for this house.
15:12
Speaker 3: I want it. Well, we're talking.
15:14
Speaker 6: Sure, it wasn't that the idea that Bucks would never
15:16
Speaker 6: trade it. Yeah, so it's like it would be foolish
15:19
Speaker 6: that if they didn't. But what is the motivation level?
15:22
Speaker 3: And where like the Bucks have, there's no deadline here.
15:25
Speaker 3: The Bucks don't have to move him right now. They
15:27
Speaker 3: can keep it for the summer and can get better.
15:31
Speaker 3: Will it go up if he's healthy?
15:32
Speaker 6: And you know, again, my my my thing on this
15:35
Speaker 6: turned over the last couple of days where I'm just
15:37
Speaker 6: like to just tell you, honest, take the year, get ready,
15:40
Speaker 6: get ready to play in the summer. Use the summer
15:42
Speaker 6: international play which is different than playoffs but still miles
15:45
Speaker 6: on the tires. Use that, go play with in the summer,
15:49
Speaker 6: play some international games, and use that as your training
15:51
Speaker 6: camp and find that is the showcase ran entertain the
15:56
Speaker 6: deals in the summer. But tell him that that's our
15:58
Speaker 6: plan now. And it's a quiet tanking because he can't
16:01
Speaker 6: tank with Giannis.
16:02
Speaker 3: He won't let you.
16:03
Speaker 6: He's gonna go out there and bust his ass every
16:05
Speaker 6: night and be pissed off. And then it gets more toxic.
16:07
Speaker 6: Yea if he plays and they're just don't pass the
16:09
Speaker 6: ball again, stiffs.
16:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that, like kind of what that's where he's
16:13
Speaker 2: Spidey senses, like, I don't know returns on that. That's
16:16
Speaker 2: why I think he's been so flipping about the injury
16:18
Speaker 2: timelines and stuff. Yeah, because when he says, I guess
16:21
Speaker 2: they're gonna tell me four to say six or whatever
16:23
Speaker 2: it is, because what it is, it seems like, okay,
16:24
Speaker 2: well what's going on here with that.
16:26
Speaker 3: Right Billy?
16:26
Speaker 6: For the last couple of years he has been dinged
16:28
Speaker 6: and he has hasn't been available and that's but a
16:31
Speaker 6: big part of the frustration. Oh he wasted the honest here,
16:34
Speaker 6: Oh look at it was either him or Midlton.
16:36
Speaker 3: That were hurt. And it was like yeah, or I
16:38
Speaker 3: mean or or Damon and Jeff and Milwaukee said, I
16:40
Speaker 3: don't know if Jannis wants out, but it feels like
16:42
Speaker 3: this is what happens when you go all in every
16:45
Speaker 3: year to win it all. You give up every asset
16:47
Speaker 3: for the guy to leverage the future for a shot
16:49
Speaker 3: to maybe win it all. But you need a whole
16:51
Speaker 3: lot of luck to win a championship. And again, I
16:53
Speaker 3: don't know, I don't believe I would do anything really
16:56
Speaker 3: differently in all reality hindsight is twenty two as it is,
17:00
Speaker 3: I still think I would make the aggressive moves they did,
17:03
Speaker 3: just you ended up being extremely unfortunate with the injuries.
17:08
Speaker 6: One of the guys who chirped and like Adrian Griffin
17:10
Speaker 6: is that whole situation is being revisited on because they
17:13
Speaker 6: were thirty and thirteen and people are going back to
17:14
Speaker 6: the dance party they had on the court the first
17:17
Speaker 6: game after Griffin was fired and Jay Crowder waited, I
17:21
Speaker 6: saw that side Mark yah ring out.
17:23
Speaker 3: Amandy Crowder Wing been the one I went and made
17:26
Speaker 3: and what that say and the move that hurt them
17:29
Speaker 3: in terms of assets five second routers a Crowder and
17:32
Speaker 3: what did he bring after that?
17:34
Speaker 2: Well, it's funny he didn't sweet about that, right he
17:36
Speaker 2: tweeted it months. Yeah, he didn't really do much. Now
17:40
Speaker 2: saw Jay's tweet that said we were with a quote
17:43
Speaker 2: tweet to the Adrien Wodrowski two years ago tweet about Adrian,
17:47
Speaker 2: So it was he had to go find that somewhere.
17:49
Speaker 2: He el stirred up was his quote tweet was we
17:52
Speaker 2: were thirty and thirteen by the doc this is what
17:55
Speaker 2: started the avalanche, So pretty strong it all cat. For
17:59
Speaker 2: those of you not familiar with his tweets, he's in
18:02
Speaker 2: all caps every tweet, no matter what, since he was
18:04
Speaker 2: a freshman or not a freshman, a transferm Marquette looking
18:07
Speaker 2: for the best deal at the broken yoke on Well Street.
18:10
Speaker 2: So this is not new but he but it does
18:12
Speaker 2: seem more aggressive because he tweets in all caps and
18:16
Speaker 2: it is absolutely Billie, No, that's not that's not unfair
18:22
Speaker 2: to say it absolutely. And the one he also had
18:24
Speaker 2: a reply to somebody he had one other tweet. The
18:28
Speaker 2: question was, well, you were dancing like crazy the first
18:31
Speaker 2: game he was fired, and his response was, we wasn't
18:33
Speaker 2: dancing because he got fired. We danced to try and
18:35
Speaker 2: shake the vibes in a positive light because we were
18:38
Speaker 2: all blind sided and had a game to play without
18:40
Speaker 2: a head coach. What were we supposed to be sad
18:42
Speaker 2: in the court and get blown out? So that those
18:44
Speaker 2: are the two Those were the two stands from Jay
18:46
Speaker 2: Crowder republicly yesterday on that one. So I thought that
18:49
Speaker 2: was kind of interesting to see because, Okay, there you go.
18:52
Speaker 2: He's indicating that they never want a doc and that
18:54
Speaker 2: was part of and Jay's just sitting at home now
18:56
Speaker 2: so he can say whatever it wants, right, So, I
18:59
Speaker 2: don't know it's.
18:59
Speaker 6: Easy to have to have a podcast yet, maybe we
19:02
Speaker 6: should call him see if he wants to start one,
19:03
Speaker 6: because everybody else has ever touched the NBA's got Vernon Maxwell,
19:07
Speaker 6: snipe and.
19:07
Speaker 3: Everybody's Actually I think we need Vernon Maxwell on every
19:11
Speaker 3: microphone possible. Crazy man maluld prefer his services over Kendrick Perkins.
19:21
Speaker 3: I've got Kendrick Perkins fatigue. Yeah, if we could get
19:26
Speaker 3: the microphone in front of John Henson or Stack and
19:29
Speaker 3: Matt Barnes a little bit more. Stephen Jackson Matt Barnes.
19:31
Speaker 5: Are there are some good ones, but obviously Dan Wall.
19:35
Speaker 3: Whoever we trade Giannis for, uh, whoever we trade Giannis
19:39
Speaker 3: to better be in the West and give us a
19:41
Speaker 3: crapload of picks.
19:43
Speaker 2: All right, your thought on that, Billity, because I have
19:45
Speaker 2: a warning shot for Bucks fans right now.
19:47
Speaker 3: Not gonna be the amount of picks you think you
19:48
Speaker 3: will not ever get.
19:49
Speaker 2: The return you want to get on this. And obviously
19:52
Speaker 2: the trend seems to be turning that way. We talked
19:54
Speaker 2: about it with the deals like the Bain deal and
19:56
Speaker 2: the bridges. It probably won't be that, but also there's
19:58
Speaker 2: never gonna be equal value to what Yiannis provided and
20:01
Speaker 2: provides you. You'll never really get that. And it's like
20:03
Speaker 2: life insurance to me, like death will be death right.
20:06
Speaker 2: You will get something with the life insurance to help
20:08
Speaker 2: just have the wounds and to help put you to
20:10
Speaker 2: the next place, but it's never gonna be equal value
20:13
Speaker 2: for you know, it helps you, it helps you to
20:19
Speaker 2: the next stage, but it's never gonna replace.
20:21
Speaker 3: Evan Dads exactly.
20:22
Speaker 5: So the reality is, you know, you we will.
20:24
Speaker 2: Be underwhelmed by whatever it is. We talked about the
20:26
Speaker 2: Kareem deal. Kareem is one of the greatest to ever
20:29
Speaker 2: play the game. So unfortunately you can't get equal value
20:32
Speaker 2: for that. You can get great players and picks and
20:34
Speaker 2: a quantity, right, you know, Winters was in that deal,
20:37
Speaker 2: Junior Bridgman, guys, guys that had their numbers, numbers in
20:41
Speaker 2: the in the in the rafters, right, but it will
20:43
Speaker 2: never replace you know, if you have the best Dak
20:45
Speaker 2: of your life, nineteen Hamburgers won't replace the best Dak
20:48
Speaker 2: of your life.
20:48
Speaker 5: Quantity won't be a quality, but.
20:54
Speaker 3: Believe it at a reasonable pipe.
20:56
Speaker 2: So so like we'll hope we can gut a fish
20:59
Speaker 2: as much as we can, but don't ever expect no
21:02
Speaker 2: equal value, which won't.
21:03
Speaker 5: Exist, right Exactly.
21:04
Speaker 3: You can pray for a shake Hilgers, Alexander coming back
21:07
Speaker 3: for Paul George, but beause a lot of times that's
21:10
Speaker 3: not gonna happen unless you can take advantage of somebody
21:12
Speaker 3: that is extremely aggressive and frankly desperate. So that is
21:18
Speaker 3: where now we need to start identifying the ownerships that
21:22
Speaker 3: are as desperate as possible. And I look at the
21:25
Speaker 3: different little brothers in the NBA.
21:27
Speaker 5: All right, I'm thinking, well, I want to know what
21:29
Speaker 5: you're thinking of Brooklyn Nets.
21:30
Speaker 3: Now, if you want to start talking about a team
21:32
Speaker 3: that actually delivers a lot of picks, they are the
21:36
Speaker 3: stepchild of New York, you start digging in on the
21:39
Speaker 3: folks that feel underserved and underwhelmed. The Atlanta Hawks, what's up,
21:43
Speaker 3: Jalen Johnson, Why don't you come on back here and
21:47
Speaker 3: enjoy being in Milwaukee again? Start being the centerpiece of
21:49
Speaker 3: one of them. You gotta start looking at the places
21:52
Speaker 3: that have been desperate, because if you start going to
21:54
Speaker 3: La and Clippers Golden State, oh sorry, Clippers, Steve Palmer,
22:00
Speaker 3: kind of what I was. I mean, he might give
22:02
Speaker 3: you a piece of Microsoft like he might give you
22:04
Speaker 3: he might give you whatever he can under the table. Oh,
22:06
Speaker 3: something definitely under the table. And we're not talking about
22:09
Speaker 3: him with the you know, sitting court side with the hands.
22:11
Speaker 3: But you got guys in the NBA that are so
22:14
Speaker 3: desperate to win. You have to start identifying those because
22:17
Speaker 3: if you're trying to go and suck up to Joe
22:19
Speaker 3: lacub and do what you feel is the most right
22:23
Speaker 3: by the player, you're not gonna get the return. You
22:26
Speaker 3: might be able to get a lottery ticket and get
22:28
Speaker 3: a return. That helps if you start identifying the desperate.
22:30
Speaker 2: Well, I crossed the bridge. No one's more desperate than
22:33
Speaker 2: the Knicks to finally break through, but I know they are.
22:35
Speaker 3: Brother, I don't want it is the good Land.
22:41
Speaker 5: We got it.
22:42
Speaker 3: Oh, we got plenty to talk about today.
22:43
Speaker 6: I think we're gonna we're gonna lean into one of
22:45
Speaker 6: the oldest, probably the first hashtags, TBT throwback Thursday. We're
22:49
Speaker 6: gonna lean into that a little bit because inspired by
22:52
Speaker 6: the Badgers last night with a great comeback, I want
22:55
Speaker 6: to talk about comebacks in sports and in life. Eight
22:58
Speaker 6: seven seven seven nine four one seving three gets you
23:00
Speaker 6: into the Nicola Lot dot com talk and text.
23:03
Speaker 3: Nine. We're up and running.
23:04
Speaker 6: I hope you're getting caffeinated and ready for your day
23:07
Speaker 6: as well. You got us until eight. It's the Huddle
23:09
Speaker 6: on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
23:12
Speaker 3: Rejoined music is this theme the end of the world
23:14
Speaker 3: as we know it. Jannis could be traded or might
23:16
Speaker 3: not be well, it was a week we have until trade.
23:21
Speaker 2: It was sort of combined with that idea and the
23:23
Speaker 2: idea of you know, what happened in the past has
23:26
Speaker 2: gone now because I played an old apartment by.
23:28
Speaker 5: Ver nicked ladies. Don't know if you heard that, I
23:29
Speaker 5: heard it. Yep, yeah, I know you'd catch that.
23:32
Speaker 3: Yeah.
23:32
Speaker 6: So sort of a little bit of a week from
23:34
Speaker 6: today is the NBA trade deadline, and the churn is uh,
23:38
Speaker 6: it's you know, it's going into overdrive right now.
23:42
Speaker 3: Do you think some of it true? Is just because
23:43
Speaker 3: the NBA as a whole like desperately wants there to
23:46
Speaker 3: be a big move. Absolutely, because it's so much better
23:49
Speaker 3: when they want the they want the juice like otherwise,
23:53
Speaker 3: you know, all right, well there all Star game, the
23:57
Speaker 3: All Star break is kind of like in the middle
23:58
Speaker 3: of the Olympics, and they're gonna get followed up the
24:01
Speaker 3: All Star Game, the All Star Game in the NBA,
24:03
Speaker 3: It's like, how many more ways can we watch Mac
24:05
Speaker 3: McClung win the dunk contest?
24:07
Speaker 2: Oh yeah?
24:08
Speaker 3: Like Meggs and I went into that a little bit
24:10
Speaker 3: yesterday and carry the g because he was saying, you know,
24:12
Speaker 3: what did you do with the thing I love in
24:13
Speaker 3: the Pro Bowl? And I'm like, well, listen the the
24:15
Speaker 3: NBA All Star Game, folks, nobody ever really loved.
24:19
Speaker 6: I don't think anything I like to I like watching
24:21
Speaker 6: Hawaii and the Colt and the Dead of Winter.
24:23
Speaker 3: I've also struggled that I don't think anybody actually desperately
24:27
Speaker 3: loved All Star games. But we love the fact that
24:29
Speaker 3: we have something built into bitch about ye right, Like
24:31
Speaker 3: we we like that we have something that. But in
24:34
Speaker 3: the difference is the Pro Bowl is you almost think
24:37
Speaker 3: more wistfully about the old days and you're like, well,
24:40
Speaker 3: now it's not even close now. I mean they're playing dodgeball.
24:42
Speaker 3: I think Keishat Nixon, by the way, pro bowler, phenomenal dodgeball. Addition,
24:49
Speaker 3: he dodged the guy at the goal line swift in
24:52
Speaker 3: the goal line dodged a lot of interceptions this year,
24:54
Speaker 3: also elite trash talker, so he's going to be very interesting.
24:59
Speaker 3: But once you go to the NBA, it's like, we
25:01
Speaker 3: need to fix this, we need to fix this, or.
25:04
Speaker 6: Just well, they're doing this now, they've done to choose
25:07
Speaker 6: them up, they're doing that, They've done the International.
25:11
Speaker 3: It's an event. You go there to the watch a
25:13
Speaker 3: little bit of the red carpet. It's the NBA's version
25:15
Speaker 3: of the Oscars. You know, in the middle of February.
25:17
Speaker 2: We also see everybody now, I mean, once upon a time,
25:20
Speaker 2: the quality of the game you can debate, but the
25:23
Speaker 2: reality is, once upon a time you didn't get to
25:24
Speaker 2: see these players that often you only heard about them,
25:27
Speaker 2: and it was so interesting to see all the greatest
25:30
Speaker 2: players on one TV, on one field or court at
25:32
Speaker 2: the same time when you didn't have that chance. And
25:35
Speaker 2: that's just not the case anymore. We desensitize to that,
25:37
Speaker 2: so that novelty is.
25:38
Speaker 3: Gone, all right. Mike from Merrill Way eight.
25:42
Speaker 6: Three Bucks and Giannis dominating our thoughts early because we're
25:45
Speaker 6: a week away from the deadline today and the churn
25:47
Speaker 6: is getting that it's getting heavy.
25:49
Speaker 3: Mike said, I don't want you Honest to leave.
25:50
Speaker 6: But the best thing the Bucks could do as a
25:51
Speaker 6: franchise would be to trade Honest to Charlotte for Konkin Nipple.
25:54
Speaker 6: And however many first one to two draft picks. Man,
25:57
Speaker 6: here we go like that idea, excited in theory. But
26:01
Speaker 6: why would Charlotte do that? No, No, on what universe
26:05
Speaker 6: would Charlotte. Where are they like one player away from
26:08
Speaker 6: winning a championship. And if they lose Conka Nipple, who's
26:11
Speaker 6: cheap and controllable at this juncture.
26:15
Speaker 3: That's a great idea in theory. Yeah, and who's twenty
26:17
Speaker 3: and looks like he's got the entire NBA world ahead
26:20
Speaker 3: of him for the next ten to fifteen years. It
26:21
Speaker 3: might be the only player that you could actually keep
26:23
Speaker 3: in Charlotte that that looks like a tough beast. But
26:26
Speaker 3: somebody that loves Conk Nipple very conknniple positive over here.
26:30
Speaker 3: Maybe not as much as Brian Winhorse, who was comparing
26:32
Speaker 3: him to Steph Curry the other day on NBA T
26:35
Speaker 3: and NBA today on ESPN. I'm with you, they desperately
26:41
Speaker 3: they do need to find somebody who is one of
26:44
Speaker 3: those pillars coming back. But I wonder drew if the
26:48
Speaker 3: longer it waits, I think in the off season is
26:50
Speaker 3: the perfect time where you'll get different teams to start
26:54
Speaker 3: falling a little out of love with the young up
26:57
Speaker 3: and coming star because maybe they don't perform as well
26:59
Speaker 3: into March and April, and that's when you're able to
27:02
Speaker 3: capitalize as well. Agreed now, Uh.
27:05
Speaker 6: Part of this is also the Bucks will feel some
27:08
Speaker 6: sense of we should send you us where he wants
27:10
Speaker 6: to go in some ways, like if he wants to
27:12
Speaker 6: go to the Knicks, the Knicks don't have the best
27:14
Speaker 6: pack of that. That's why I say it's an eighteen
27:16
Speaker 6: bank shot because if he wants to go play for
27:18
Speaker 6: the next the Heat culture wise would be a good
27:22
Speaker 6: fit for your honest and you honest being cheap as
27:23
Speaker 6: we know, would probably like Florida and Texas and the
27:26
Speaker 6: non state income Texas. That part I think he would like,
27:29
Speaker 6: but the Heat and their culture. And then people say,
27:32
Speaker 6: well and bring back Tyler Hero and a couple other
27:34
Speaker 6: guys and some picks and let Giannis go there.
27:36
Speaker 5: They always have to be a guy from what always Well,
27:40
Speaker 5: if we're just trying, are we're trying to win or not?
27:44
Speaker 5: I'm not saying Tyler and Connor aren't great players.
27:46
Speaker 2: That's not my point. But you have to do it's
27:47
Speaker 2: best for your team. It's the same with sending out
27:49
Speaker 2: Joannest to a place he wants to be.
27:51
Speaker 3: I want Jalen Johnson at twenty three and ten good.
27:53
Speaker 5: Players, I want them.
27:54
Speaker 3: But Jalen Johnson would be a guy to look at.
27:56
Speaker 6: Now, that's the kind of guy that, Okay, I'll take
27:58
Speaker 6: a guy like you know, give me one or two
28:00
Speaker 6: of him and a couple of picks and then we
28:02
Speaker 6: can think.
28:02
Speaker 3: About it and start to think about it.
28:04
Speaker 6: But until then, and there's another layer to this, boys,
28:07
Speaker 6: and it's it's crossing pass here with the Browns hired
28:11
Speaker 6: their coach. They found their man monkey. Yeah, they found
28:15
Speaker 6: an offensive guy. They didn't go with the thirty five
28:17
Speaker 6: year old whiz kid he finally passed the essay. They
28:19
Speaker 6: didn't go with the grizzled uh guy in house.
28:24
Speaker 3: Bills. He didn't hire the coordinator that they have Jim
28:27
Speaker 3: Schwartz and mad and gonna leave. But they did. And
28:30
Speaker 3: again it all ties to Jimmy Haslam.
28:31
Speaker 6: Right, the Browns they thought, all right, ween, you kind
28:35
Speaker 6: of need an offensive guy because we got to, you know,
28:37
Speaker 6: develop these guys.
28:38
Speaker 3: We've got a good defense already.
28:39
Speaker 6: If we can get bringing an offense guy and keep Schwartz,
28:42
Speaker 6: then we'll be all right. And what happened like they
28:44
Speaker 6: brought in the offensive guy in Schwartz Bolts, and then
28:47
Speaker 6: it's like, oh, well, we could have hired Schwartz and
28:49
Speaker 6: kept rolling and then brought in maybe the whiz kid
28:52
Speaker 6: passing coordinator as the OC. M HM, I made men
28:55
Speaker 6: in the way I looked at it. But then they're
28:57
Speaker 6: they're like, no, we're gonna We're gonna bring it. And
28:58
Speaker 6: then the sixty year old Todd Monkin, who might be
29:01
Speaker 6: a good coach, he's a good he's done well with
29:03
Speaker 6: quarterbacks and stuff. But the way they managed it, they
29:06
Speaker 6: thought they could keep what they liked and and add
29:10
Speaker 6: and then they they made the move, and then they
29:13
Speaker 6: subtracted a whole lot. Yeah, and then Miles Miles Garrett,
29:18
Speaker 6: who wanted Jim Schwartz and likes Jim Schwartz. Now he's
29:20
Speaker 6: gone like, oh, so, I'm just saying cautionary tale, like
29:25
Speaker 6: the two different things, Browns and Bucks, but it's the same.
29:28
Speaker 3: There's a clear possibility for it to get botched. And
29:34
Speaker 3: like the Browns might have just botched the coach hire,
29:36
Speaker 3: which is the most important thing in the NFL. This
29:38
Speaker 3: is the most important thing for the Bucks by far.
29:40
Speaker 3: And you got your fingers.
29:41
Speaker 5: Crossed hard, sorry, Bill.
29:43
Speaker 2: Yesterday that when Jimmy Hasim was trending right after Sean report,
29:46
Speaker 2: and it wasn't about the Bucks.
29:47
Speaker 5: It was like, I might, oh, here we.
29:49
Speaker 3: Go, might be a good hire, might be for two
29:55
Speaker 3: time national champion George Bodous. Yeah he's and he's.
29:58
Speaker 6: A quarterback developer, and they they got two young quarterbacks
30:01
Speaker 6: that might be it might end up being okay, but damn.
30:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, but damn, that's the right way of putting it. Yes, true,
30:06
Speaker 3: Like they did the math and they thought well, and
30:09
Speaker 3: they interviewed Schwartz twice and then that just you know,
30:11
Speaker 3: the interview under the sun and they legit like from
30:15
Speaker 3: what it was sounding like yesterday, they were making guys right,
30:17
Speaker 3: full on thesis papers as to who they are and
30:21
Speaker 3: what kind of offense they want to run and the
30:23
Speaker 3: personality of players they want. So it was a it
30:26
Speaker 3: was a hell of a search, an exhaustive one. They
30:29
Speaker 3: finally fired the baseball guy that's been running the team
30:31
Speaker 3: for a long time, so there's a there, there's not
30:34
Speaker 3: a great track record to the point at the top
30:38
Speaker 3: with this being executed to perfection. It then also begs
30:43
Speaker 3: the question and maybe leans into more as to why
30:46
Speaker 3: it would wade into the off season. Is John Horse
30:51
Speaker 3: going to be the one making the trade?
30:53
Speaker 2: Right?
30:54
Speaker 3: You just got an extension. He got an extension if
30:57
Speaker 3: indeed he starts maybe having some of the power to
31:00
Speaker 3: because again, the team that kind of gave him the extension,
31:02
Speaker 3: the president, Peter Fagan, gone a large portion of the
31:06
Speaker 3: brain trust changing over to the Haslam group. That's where
31:10
Speaker 3: the difference in the full cloak of Bucks basketball has
31:16
Speaker 3: changed so much since Giannis has been here. Right, Like,
31:19
Speaker 3: he talks a lot about loyalty, it's probably a much
31:22
Speaker 3: different backdrop of the organization than when he walked in
31:24
Speaker 3: here thirteen years ago, and you understand why it would
31:27
Speaker 3: feel a little bit different. Mike and Merrill also said,
31:29
Speaker 3: He's like, and why you'd want the cnible trade. You
31:32
Speaker 3: wouldn't lose attendance, You'd still be able to sell to
31:34
Speaker 3: a bunch of young fans, and the traffic would still
31:37
Speaker 3: be incredible. Plus East Coast Hub for better flights to grease.
31:40
Speaker 3: There's a lot of reason why the East is more
31:43
Speaker 3: attractive for Giannis that way. But I also think that
31:47
Speaker 3: you wonder if you end up being a year too
31:50
Speaker 3: early or a year too late with making one of
31:54
Speaker 3: these moves. The Packers clearly were maybe a year too
31:57
Speaker 3: late on the Rogers move, even though I also doubled
32:00
Speaker 3: down and wanted it to go in twenty two because
32:02
Speaker 3: he was playing well, you know, the pet The Packers
32:05
Speaker 3: did what the Bucks did for Giannis for two years,
32:10
Speaker 3: right where Aaron's like, hey, what if we get a
32:12
Speaker 3: couple of vets and bringing a couple of older guys,
32:15
Speaker 3: and instead, for the last six or seven years, the
32:17
Speaker 3: Bucks have done exactly, at least from what all reports
32:21
Speaker 3: have been, whatever Giannis felt like they would be able
32:23
Speaker 3: to do to get them over the top when they
32:25
Speaker 3: got to the Eastern Conference finals in twenty nineteen, when
32:27
Speaker 3: they made the Eric Bledsoe trade. So I struggled to
32:31
Speaker 3: again say, like, they're the ones fully responsible for this
32:35
Speaker 3: not working. And even though I will always remember Gianni's
32:39
Speaker 3: extremely fondly that there's a he is not exempt of
32:43
Speaker 3: any blame as to how this all is transpired over
32:45
Speaker 3: the last three to four years since they win the title,
32:48
Speaker 3: and their inability to get out of the first round
32:51
Speaker 3: all but one time since being titled.
32:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I can And maybe this is just me
32:55
Speaker 2: convincing myself, but to me, the intentions are always noble
32:58
Speaker 2: in these moves, and they was to win, to try
33:00
Speaker 2: and win it the highest regard.
33:01
Speaker 5: So I can't really blame anyone for that here.
33:03
Speaker 6: Again, I still think this is gonna be a summer production.
33:07
Speaker 6: And if you're the Bucks, if you're gonna trade Giannis,
33:10
Speaker 6: I'm trade Miles Turner too.
33:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's definitely well, that's what Go Pat Go said.
33:16
Speaker 3: Ye.
33:16
Speaker 5: Now someone's gonna tell Troy.
33:18
Speaker 3: So it's a complete down to the studs rebuild.
33:20
Speaker 6: But then just try to get it back as soon
33:22
Speaker 6: as you can and get some young players that are,
33:24
Speaker 6: you know, ready to go, and then a new coach.
33:27
Speaker 2: Troy once Williams and Chet and three or four first
33:32
Speaker 2: from Okay, se I got news for you, Troy.
33:34
Speaker 5: She's not walking through that door, man, she's not texting
33:36
Speaker 5: you back. No, Aston Williams. Is that or Case and Wallace?
33:40
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe he thought that was he got
33:42
Speaker 3: that messed up. Well, there's definitely not getting Jalen Williams, Well,
33:45
Speaker 3: there was two j there are two Jen. Good point,
33:47
Speaker 3: there's a six eleven Jalen Williams who doesn't play.
33:49
Speaker 5: You could definitely get him picked him once in the problem.
33:52
Speaker 2: I made that mistake once eight seven seven three.
33:58
Speaker 6: We gotta start with at uh at six o'clock, we'll
34:01
Speaker 6: tee up some throwback Thursdays and we got some We
34:03
Speaker 6: got some good stuff there. And also we want to
34:05
Speaker 6: talk comebacks because what the Badgers did last night, the
34:08
Speaker 6: game they should have won, but the way they won
34:10
Speaker 6: it was rather.
34:11
Speaker 5: Remarking, sneaky important, very sneak, very.
34:13
Speaker 3: Sneak important and remarkable. We'll talk about that as we
34:16
Speaker 3: move Forward're glad.
34:17
Speaker 6: That you're huddling up with us on this Thursday in
34:19
Speaker 6: the good Land Fox Sports Radio wiscon through Billion Armon
34:22
Speaker 6: having a robust discussion about Janis the churn. I still
34:25
Speaker 6: think Giannis will be a Buck at this time or
34:28
Speaker 6: in eight days, I think you will still be with
34:30
Speaker 6: the Bucks and we'll be we'll be litigating this whole
34:33
Speaker 6: thing again throughout in the summer months now the NBA,
34:36
Speaker 6: that's when NBA free agency is at its peak. Yeah,
34:39
Speaker 6: July Firba want this now in the summer when it's
34:42
Speaker 6: kind of like the high season person woj bombs.
34:46
Speaker 3: Well Pour went out for woje bombs. But you know, Shops, Yeah,
34:50
Speaker 3: it just doesn't hit the same the same, just does
34:52
Speaker 3: not hit the same same. Now, because I agree with you,
34:55
Speaker 3: it'll be eight days now. This is what I'm not
34:57
Speaker 3: positive about because I think I'm with you on the camp.
35:00
Speaker 3: You just sell him on, shutting him down like you
35:03
Speaker 3: honestly understand appreciate it. Do you believe we've seen his
35:07
Speaker 3: last game played at five star form as buck Ooh uh?
35:12
Speaker 3: Is it worth bringing him back? I don't know how
35:14
Speaker 3: you cannot if he's healthy, He's gonna want to play
35:16
Speaker 3: if he's healthy in the middle of March, right, Like,
35:20
Speaker 3: that's two months and and and you're probably the twelve
35:26
Speaker 3: right and you're six games out of the play in
35:29
Speaker 3: the likelihood of you battling your way in there is
35:32
Speaker 3: so low that I think you might try to play
35:34
Speaker 3: him for the night.
35:36
Speaker 6: But here's the thing though, and this is the thing
35:38
Speaker 6: that could John Horst be working on just the ultimate
35:42
Speaker 6: curveball and go swing some trade where he gets rid
35:45
Speaker 6: of Kuzma and portus and brings in somebody some good
35:48
Speaker 6: talent and says, all right, yeah, we want to bring
35:51
Speaker 6: back you know, and run it.
35:52
Speaker 2: Like the reason I think that's still possible is that's
35:54
Speaker 2: always been his track records.
35:56
Speaker 3: It's always as long as he's been you know, even
36:00
Speaker 3: probably more than offers for Young.
36:02
Speaker 2: I wonder happen as that moment passed, though, because that
36:07
Speaker 2: was kind of what we heard the last.
36:09
Speaker 6: Month or so, was thing that we don't know was
36:13
Speaker 6: he exploring, was he kicking the tires to get Tray Young?
36:15
Speaker 3: Well, and that's what felt different about that, That's what
36:18
Speaker 3: felt like maybe it was the only thing different in
36:20
Speaker 3: the report. I used the air quotes yesterday because I
36:23
Speaker 3: don't really believe it was much different than anything else
36:25
Speaker 3: we had heard. Was more of are the Bucks just
36:28
Speaker 3: striking out on all the big time swings they've been
36:31
Speaker 3: trying to make, because that was the report of the
36:33
Speaker 3: last couple. They've been trying to get everybody, and they
36:36
Speaker 3: just keep striking limited assets to dangle for people.
36:39
Speaker 2: Like oh he's got cheesing crack, He's got nothing. He's
36:41
Speaker 2: trying to make someone choosing crackers.
36:44
Speaker 3: But again, like they pulled the Dame swap and no
36:48
Speaker 3: one saw that coming.
36:49
Speaker 2: No didn't see it happen, And it was exactly the
36:51
Speaker 2: world that you were hearing about. Like those type of
36:53
Speaker 2: guys as well, maybe.
36:54
Speaker 3: Guys guys who are working at my favorite store.
36:58
Speaker 6: In different places, there's this there's a chain in major
37:01
Speaker 6: sports cities. There's a chain of this place called Malcolm's Tents.
37:05
Speaker 6: Malcolm Tents. This guy trade him off. He works at
37:10
Speaker 6: Malcolm's Tents. I think we got to go get him franchise.
37:15
Speaker 3: I don't know how many direct flights there are for
37:18
Speaker 3: Zion Williamson and some of the friends that he would
37:21
Speaker 3: fly for the airports well, but I'm telling you I'd
37:25
Speaker 3: be interested with that. I would love it.
37:27
Speaker 5: I mean, my man, oh my god, well all over
37:31
Speaker 5: the place out there. Well the meat thing.
37:33
Speaker 2: But I think the more, you know, the more you
37:35
Speaker 2: try and get flights into Milwaukee, the more the airlines
37:39
Speaker 2: will try and fulfill those those flights.
37:41
Speaker 3: You know.
37:42
Speaker 5: So I think he can help us that are trying.
37:43
Speaker 3: To get that's the point.
37:46
Speaker 2: But they're already direct flights to Atlanta, which I'm sure
37:48
Speaker 2: a lot of his clients are at. You know.
37:53
Speaker 5: What's going to do?
37:55
Speaker 3: Now, listen, you never know I would have to get
37:57
Speaker 3: a Magic City deal. I think you see with the
38:01
Speaker 3: post that he was at Magic City the night before
38:02
Speaker 3: they played in Atlanta.
38:04
Speaker 5: Now here's the guy. I believe he is there for
38:06
Speaker 5: the food.
38:07
Speaker 2: I believe it.
38:08
Speaker 5: I believe he's there just for the food.
38:09
Speaker 3: I'm hearing some contradicting reports about Fernan.
38:12
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you what.
38:13
Speaker 3: It worked for him.
38:14
Speaker 5: Whatever it was, it worked for him. And he's gonna
38:16
Speaker 5: be in Vegas, so you.
38:18
Speaker 3: Know that's true. He's gonna have to find a place
38:20
Speaker 3: to get some wings. Yeah, in one of those established
38:22
Speaker 3: you know, if.
38:23
Speaker 2: Horse can do it, I think he would. I mean,
38:25
Speaker 2: here's a guy that, in his whole career in the
38:28
Speaker 2: seat of general manager for the Bucks, has done his
38:31
Speaker 2: job with an absolute desperation that he feels like he
38:35
Speaker 2: asked him to do. And you gotta respect him for
38:37
Speaker 2: that type of He's gonna go down swinging and fighting.
38:40
Speaker 2: I believe if he can take one last guest heave,
38:42
Speaker 2: he's gonna try and do it. He's gonna say, I'm
38:45
Speaker 2: gonna lay my head at night on my pillow knowing
38:47
Speaker 2: I did everything I could to take every swing and
38:49
Speaker 2: shot I could to make this thing on.
38:51
Speaker 3: That's well, and that's been job one. Is keeping Giannis happy.
38:54
Speaker 6: It's almost above trying to win a title, is keeping
38:56
Speaker 6: Janis happy because they kind of go hand in hand.
38:58
Speaker 3: The Honest is the guy, and I think, but are
39:04
Speaker 3: they thinking now the best place in the best chance
39:07
Speaker 3: Drew to get to a title is without Yannick, like
39:10
Speaker 3: it's over now type of thing. Yeah, well I was,
39:12
Speaker 3: because I do. I struggled to that.
39:14
Speaker 6: I kind of said that when Dame was hurt, When
39:17
Speaker 6: Dame got hurt and it was going to be out
39:18
Speaker 6: for the year, sure that was the time. Like, yeah, intellectually,
39:22
Speaker 6: I said, you know, it makes sense to make make
39:24
Speaker 6: the move. And then you know, I also said emotionally, yeah,
39:28
Speaker 6: he means too much of the franchise.
39:29
Speaker 3: He is the franchise.
39:30
Speaker 6: So I get it, and I yeah, John Horse, his
39:33
Speaker 6: job was keeping Honest happy and he did that. The
39:35
Speaker 6: Gnassis is around getting a check and they did everything
39:38
Speaker 6: possible to keep you Honest happy, and it just didn't
39:41
Speaker 6: work for whatever reason like bad luck, bad injuries, just
39:44
Speaker 6: it just didn't work out.
39:45
Speaker 3: And that's why that's why I would be sad if
39:48
Speaker 3: indeed he has played his last game at five Surf
39:50
Speaker 3: because I think, like you said, basketball wise, business wise,
39:54
Speaker 3: for both sides, it makes more sense for him not
39:56
Speaker 3: to play. But I think it would be it would
39:58
Speaker 3: it would be disappointing for him not to get a
40:00
Speaker 3: proper set off.
40:01
Speaker 6: So then maybe we just answered our own question is
40:04
Speaker 6: is it does it make sense business sense to shut
40:07
Speaker 6: Giannis down or get him back playing in March and
40:11
Speaker 6: tell people you want to see the guy, you better
40:13
Speaker 6: go see him now you sell some more tickets.
40:15
Speaker 5: Business decisions. Tickets are a big difference.
40:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, business decision wise, And then to like if it
40:22
Speaker 6: is the end, like what is their last if they
40:24
Speaker 6: let's say they're not making the playoffs, because it doesn't
40:26
Speaker 6: seem like that's in the cards out for so long,
40:29
Speaker 6: but the last home game suddenly becomes a destination and.
40:33
Speaker 3: It's like it's a possible farewell the.
40:35
Speaker 6: Way Yiannis took it, I mean, the way Lebron had
40:37
Speaker 6: his victory lap kind of in Cleveland last night, people
40:39
Speaker 6: thought it might have been his last, you know game
40:40
Speaker 6: there if he's done after this year, I don't think.
40:42
Speaker 2: I think if the if the reality starts to hit
40:44
Speaker 2: that it will be over. It's it's jest will start
40:47
Speaker 2: to seal that too, and I gotta got.
40:50
Speaker 6: To go out here and say goodbye to the final
40:52
Speaker 6: So yeah, then maybe there is motivation to bring him back.
40:56
Speaker 6: If you're going to trade him in the summer one night,
40:58
Speaker 6: I'll let him play a couple of games, you know,
41:00
Speaker 6: let him play.
41:01
Speaker 3: As soon as because I want to be there. I
41:03
Speaker 3: like that he's the one that is going to be
41:05
Speaker 3: a hot ticket. Not as hot as something in the
41:07
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one run, but it'll be the hottest ticket
41:09
Speaker 3: of the year.
41:10
Speaker 6: I think here and we've said that before, like okay,
41:12
Speaker 6: like and again, haven't we been down the street before?
41:17
Speaker 6: Hadn't we seen it with Farv and Rogers and to
41:20
Speaker 6: a lesser extent because he was only rental, But like C. C.
41:22
Speaker 6: Sabbathia or Prince Field, exit of the stage, our our
41:27
Speaker 6: heroes who have exited the stage, it's just you can't,
41:29
Speaker 6: I guess you can't build up enough calluses to offset
41:33
Speaker 6: it because the.
41:33
Speaker 3: Pain is going to be the pain.
41:35
Speaker 6: You can prepare for it as much as you want,
41:37
Speaker 6: but it's still gonna suck when you're honestly, I.
41:38
Speaker 5: Don't want to have to.
41:39
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna watch him in a different uniform, or
41:41
Speaker 2: at least nearly going. It's gonna hurt too much.
41:43
Speaker 5: I can't watch her on a day with somebody else,
41:45
Speaker 5: you know what I mean.
41:46
Speaker 3: Well, you cheer for him to win.
41:48
Speaker 5: It's right, it's hard to not dependent the team. Honestly, Yeah,
41:50
Speaker 5: dependent team.
41:51
Speaker 3: I'm not cheering for the I saw that one yesterday,
41:54
Speaker 3: and I like Trey. He said. I hope he never
41:56
Speaker 3: wins again. I get that.
41:59
Speaker 2: It's my it was my deal with like you want
42:01
Speaker 2: the best of the trade, like the old Ferry Rodriguez deal.
42:04
Speaker 2: It's like, you want the best of the trade. You
42:06
Speaker 2: hope you hit it the right time.
42:07
Speaker 3: You're gonna be consistent with it.
42:08
Speaker 2: I know.
42:09
Speaker 3: Maybe it'd be less painful if Fiannis just went to
42:11
Speaker 3: Europe and didn't stay. That's what I think.
42:13
Speaker 5: That's what I want.
42:14
Speaker 3: Start up NBA Europe, yes playing read it all right,
42:19
Speaker 3: We're off and running with a thirstday edition.
42:21
Speaker 6: Get some throwbacks ready, It's the huddle at Fox Sports Radio,
42:24
Speaker 6: wiscons
