Speaker 1: Wednesday edition of The Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, five
0:05
Speaker 1: o'clock hours in the books. Thank you five o'clock clubbers.
0:08
Speaker 1: Welcome six am risers. You're still getting up earlier than
0:11
Speaker 1: most I think, yes, for sure, you're still the one
0:14
Speaker 1: of the early birds getting warm. What's the most common
0:17
Speaker 1: wake up time for civilians across the good land here?
0:21
Speaker 1: Because you know, people work different hours. It seems like
0:23
Speaker 1: we've always been an early rising town. It's the early
0:26
Speaker 1: rise in town, early rising state. You know, not that
0:29
Speaker 1: everybody's a dairy farm.
0:32
Speaker 2: Ain't gonna get milk though. The blue collar folks I mean,
0:35
Speaker 2: like us, oh don't get arm and going on. I mean,
0:37
Speaker 2: we are the ones in the you know, we're up early.
0:40
Speaker 3: I mean I would say in this rise early right,
0:43
Speaker 3: like I'd say like six fifteen to six forty five
0:45
Speaker 3: I think is probably the normal time, right, is as
0:49
Speaker 3: much as a nine to five. It might be what
0:51
Speaker 3: most people said. I think most people are working like
0:53
Speaker 3: eight to four, kids.
0:54
Speaker 2: Going to school, and we've got there's some things that
0:56
Speaker 2: we have so backwards.
0:58
Speaker 1: But like you know, having high school start at seven
1:00
Speaker 1: an am is ridiculous.
1:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, they should be the later one. So then
1:03
Speaker 3: they can help you with the young kids.
1:05
Speaker 4: And then.
1:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I still don't know how I got a better
1:10
Speaker 2: put school.
1:10
Speaker 1: At wonder like the average person, what's a normal I
1:14
Speaker 1: was gonna say seven seven, Maybe depends on if you're
1:18
Speaker 1: a nine to five, or or if you're an eight
1:20
Speaker 1: to four or seven three.
1:22
Speaker 2: Or the thing. I think there's a lot more eight
1:24
Speaker 2: to fours. And then's the thing.
1:26
Speaker 3: I mean, once you got kids, you're up way earlier
1:28
Speaker 3: because you got it. You would like to at least
1:30
Speaker 3: get your feet on the ground and the three s's
1:33
Speaker 3: in before before the first kid wakes up, all three
1:37
Speaker 3: of them.
1:37
Speaker 4: Knowing that's not gonna happen unless you shower at night,
1:40
Speaker 4: which I've been getting into more.
1:42
Speaker 2: I don't.
1:42
Speaker 4: I don't shower during the morning anymore. I shower at night,
1:45
Speaker 4: So I think that helps. But some people like to
1:47
Speaker 4: use it to wake up. Yeah, that's a totally different deal,
1:50
Speaker 4: so then they do all three. I think it's an
1:53
Speaker 4: interesting question because everyone you know, it's like when you
1:55
Speaker 4: have kids, you wake up earlier what your work schedule is.
1:58
Speaker 4: So if you look up an average time, I don't
2:00
Speaker 4: know what it would show you, but I would think
2:02
Speaker 4: there's like a median because some people were getting up late,
2:05
Speaker 4: So what's the average? But I think six thirty is
2:08
Speaker 4: what I'd be comfortable saying six thirty to seven o'clock maybe,
2:11
Speaker 4: you know, would be would be very common.
2:13
Speaker 3: There was a thing that she could help us with.
2:16
Speaker 3: This average American wake up time is between seven twenty
2:19
Speaker 3: am and seven point thirty one. Wild peak morning alarms
2:23
Speaker 3: will be heavily concentrated between the six am to seven
2:26
Speaker 3: thirty am. Flexible work at home schedules have shifted most
2:30
Speaker 3: national routines and average wake times slightly later. Now in
2:35
Speaker 3: the morning.
2:36
Speaker 4: I'll just say, is that it counted all the people
2:37
Speaker 4: out that run from the grind right the last.
2:40
Speaker 3: Six to six point thirty one of the most common windows,
2:43
Speaker 3: capturing roughly a quarter of all early risers. All right,
2:47
Speaker 3: that count us news button right at according at Edison Research,
2:51
Speaker 3: not just hot Rock.
2:52
Speaker 1: Hotte comp days upon us eight seven seven, seven ninety
2:55
Speaker 1: four one ninety seven three, Nicola lot dot Com, talk
2:58
Speaker 1: and text line. Let's get this going. Let's get it going,
3:01
Speaker 1: shall we? Hot take and I gotta say it again,
3:05
Speaker 1: come on, let's hear it. The fact that we have
3:07
Speaker 1: to wait until July sixth to officially announce this trade
3:10
Speaker 1: and for everybody to talk about it, and the fact
3:12
Speaker 1: that John Horace is addressing a pick that he can't
3:14
Speaker 1: really tell you how we got this pick, but we
3:16
Speaker 1: got this pick, and we got this kid from Tennessee
3:18
Speaker 1: that we really like it. It was great for us to
3:20
Speaker 1: get another lottery and another bite. At the end, it's folly,
3:23
Speaker 1: it's stupid. Someone explained to me why this makes sense
3:26
Speaker 1: and what universe that makes sense of that the commissioner
3:28
Speaker 1: that say, with the thirteenth pick the Miami Heat select,
3:31
Speaker 1: when everybody knows it's a Bucks player, Like, what are
3:34
Speaker 1: we doing?
3:35
Speaker 3: And all we can do is put the small little
3:37
Speaker 3: reported trade. No, it's consummated, this done, Drew, what are
3:41
Speaker 3: we doing for one of them? Can't we push this
3:44
Speaker 3: paperwork through? And like, why do we have this? We've
3:46
Speaker 3: tried to see it's something because of how the how
3:48
Speaker 3: contracts are structured in the CBA, or how well you've
3:51
Speaker 3: now had this archaic system for forty years and you've
3:55
Speaker 3: had probably ten cbas at one point somebody should talk about, hey,
3:59
Speaker 3: why don't we switch that up in how our league
4:02
Speaker 3: year transitions and finishes? So we don't have to worry
4:06
Speaker 3: about this. For one of the most forward thinking leagues,
4:10
Speaker 3: if not the most progressive league out of the four
4:12
Speaker 3: North American sports it is stunning that they still do
4:16
Speaker 3: one of the dumbest things of all time. I'm I
4:19
Speaker 3: heard some one national insider a year ago trying to
4:23
Speaker 3: clap back at this criticism and say, well, you're supposed
4:27
Speaker 3: to just upend the entire economics and business strategy of
4:31
Speaker 3: the league for a television show. Yeah. Yeah, it's a
4:35
Speaker 3: television show. But it's clunky, awkward, and it is What
4:40
Speaker 3: is last night is just a big three hour promotion
4:43
Speaker 3: for the league. That is So if it's a promotion
4:45
Speaker 3: for the league, how about you make it clear and
4:47
Speaker 3: obvious what in who you are promoting and who you
4:50
Speaker 3: are promoting them for.
4:51
Speaker 2: I'm with you, Drew. That's not the easiest fix it
4:53
Speaker 2: should be of all time.
4:54
Speaker 4: You know you talked about it. Do you upset the
4:56
Speaker 4: business strategy? Yes, that's the business strategy.
4:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, the business strategy to get more eyes on the
5:01
Speaker 3: guys of where they're actually going to play.
5:03
Speaker 4: Exactly informing potential new customers about your product is the
5:08
Speaker 4: business strategy. Getting uncomfortable That is the business strategy. Otherwise
5:12
Speaker 4: I have to and thankfully, you know, thankfully ESPN correctly
5:16
Speaker 4: explains it to most people.
5:18
Speaker 2: This is the Bucks pick. Remember the Bucks are picking.
5:21
Speaker 4: And I did appreciate Amen saying I was on the
5:24
Speaker 4: phone with the Milwaukee I was with the Milwaukee Staffah,
5:26
Speaker 4: I was in the Milwaukee staff on the phone. It's like,
5:29
Speaker 4: it is sort of just silly now to look at
5:31
Speaker 4: that one. So I'm with you guys as the biggest
5:34
Speaker 4: not hot tell you it's not even a hot take,
5:36
Speaker 4: that's a regular good take. Here's a hot take for
5:39
Speaker 4: you guys, A hot take comete in the fallout of
5:43
Speaker 4: the Yani's trade. The last you know, twenty four hours,
5:46
Speaker 4: thirty now thirty one hours. Everyone's been kind of looking
5:50
Speaker 4: for a villain, I believe around these parts, and I
5:53
Speaker 4: didn't hear much hear from our listeners, but it was
5:56
Speaker 4: a lot of Giannis as the villain. We're angry at Yannis,
5:59
Speaker 4: and I guess that's my hot tache is. I don't
6:01
Speaker 4: really think there are any villains in this scenario. I
6:03
Speaker 4: really don't. I think things happen the way they are
6:05
Speaker 4: supposed to. We could be upset at Giannis for you know,
6:08
Speaker 4: going back technically and what he once would say about
6:11
Speaker 4: never leaving and things like that.
6:12
Speaker 2: But obviously circumstances changed. They they they were what they were.
6:17
Speaker 4: He's changed over the years, as anybody would when they
6:20
Speaker 4: reached that stature of life, success those type of things
6:23
Speaker 4: in money obviously. So I would say that while we're
6:28
Speaker 4: looking for a villain, let's not. Let's look for gratitude
6:31
Speaker 4: and it's just say we're thankful we got what we did.
6:33
Speaker 4: It was a great run. It was thirteen years, which
6:36
Speaker 4: is what you more than what you get from most stars.
6:38
Speaker 4: Historically in one place. He wasn't meant to be our
6:42
Speaker 4: Dirk in one place, but unfortunately this is the way
6:45
Speaker 4: it happened, and it was still a very good ride.
6:48
Speaker 4: So I would say there were no villains in the
6:49
Speaker 4: honest in area.
6:50
Speaker 2: There we go.
6:51
Speaker 1: Great piece by Jim Ozarski at jays Online today about
6:53
Speaker 1: the dissolution, the dissolving of the friendship and the culture
6:59
Speaker 1: and basically there was no flashpoint, just this thing slowly
7:03
Speaker 1: bled out after the last three years. The headline is
7:06
Speaker 1: how the Identicoopo Aaron Milwaukee came to a bitter end.
7:09
Speaker 4: If you grow apart from a friend in high school,
7:12
Speaker 4: you graduated, you say we're friends forever, man, you know,
7:14
Speaker 4: and unfortunately not everyone's becomes friends forever.
7:18
Speaker 2: And is that someone's fault or not?
7:19
Speaker 1: Jimmy leads with the March twenty first, in Phoenix, Giannis
7:23
Speaker 1: was all smiles in the visiting locker room of the
7:26
Speaker 1: Sun's Arena. Memories of the game five of the twenty
7:28
Speaker 1: twenty one NBA Finals course threw him like intravenous fluids
7:32
Speaker 1: He needed the night That night four years earlier, when
7:35
Speaker 1: a senior team official wanted interview, his mood immediately shifted.
7:39
Speaker 1: Denticupo derisively referenced aloud without prompt A comment by Buck's
7:43
Speaker 1: co owner Wes Edens a day earlier saying the franchise
7:46
Speaker 1: legend would either sign a contract extension or be traded
7:49
Speaker 1: onto Takumpo felt it cornered him. Let's see if they
7:52
Speaker 1: have the balls to trade me, he said, defiantly. He
7:54
Speaker 1: quickly looked down. They're gonna trade me, he added, far
7:57
Speaker 1: more quietly. Three months later, the Bucks exactly that.
8:03
Speaker 4: That was really enlightening stuff by Jimmy. Oh, and it
8:06
Speaker 4: sure seemed like that there was that point where it
8:09
Speaker 4: just was the relationship was fizzling out and ending, and
8:13
Speaker 4: there were flashpoints like that where Giannis had taken things
8:16
Speaker 4: one way and he felt that way and they wanted
8:19
Speaker 4: to play.
8:19
Speaker 1: Give me pointing out in the modern NBA, Dirk Novisky
8:22
Speaker 1: is the league's last all time top seventy five player
8:24
Speaker 1: to retire in twenty nineteen with the team that drafted him.
8:28
Speaker 2: Very rare, very rare.
8:29
Speaker 1: I saw that Ryan Brown was asked about that too,
8:31
Speaker 1: about being able to play for one team because he
8:34
Speaker 1: was almost traded a time or two during his time.
8:36
Speaker 2: With the Brewers.
8:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, you almost forget that, and you forget the other
8:39
Speaker 3: guys that were almost traded. Kobe Bryant was was very
8:42
Speaker 3: famously on the trade block for quite some time and
8:45
Speaker 3: it didn't happen. I just, I don't I think two
8:48
Speaker 3: things can be true at the same time. You can
8:50
Speaker 3: be disappointed and angle more of your frustration at one
8:55
Speaker 3: side or the other, whether that's the Bucks or at
8:57
Speaker 3: the Gianni's camp. And I say the camp because I
9:00
Speaker 3: don't necessarily just believe it was Giannis, particularly because as
9:04
Speaker 3: he referenced accurately, he may have never said some of
9:07
Speaker 3: those words when the people that you hire to work
9:10
Speaker 3: for you and build out your business strategy and your
9:13
Speaker 3: career portfolio. You are speaking through other people's works, so like,
9:18
Speaker 3: I don't there can be immense gratitude, armen and love
9:22
Speaker 3: and appreciation and no hard feelings. But at what divorce
9:28
Speaker 3: does somebody sit around at the bar afterwards after you
9:31
Speaker 3: finished up all the paperwork and say, yeah, but she
9:33
Speaker 3: was really a great person. You do that five or
9:37
Speaker 3: six years down the road, Like, I don't know that,
9:40
Speaker 3: Like I don't know that it's wrong for anybody to
9:43
Speaker 3: be feeling something a day after like for and I
9:46
Speaker 3: appreciate it. I think there's a lot of folks and
9:48
Speaker 3: rightfully so again, you can be frustrated and angry at
9:51
Speaker 3: the way it ended and still say Yannis is your
9:54
Speaker 3: favorite athlete of all time. That's part of the reason
9:56
Speaker 3: why you are more frustrated that it happens towards the
9:59
Speaker 3: end end.
10:00
Speaker 2: How it would happen towards the end of time.
10:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, loving sports and loving athletes from fans
10:05
Speaker 4: is an emotional process, so therefore feelings are going to
10:07
Speaker 4: always be involved.
10:08
Speaker 2: I understand it.
10:10
Speaker 4: I just think when we remove ourselves from it after
10:13
Speaker 4: a while and look at it. It's just like these
10:15
Speaker 4: things they happen, and while we're going to be frustrated
10:18
Speaker 4: over time, we're gonna look maybe look at and see.
10:20
Speaker 1: Jimmy Oh goes on to like the flashpoints. Bootenholes are
10:23
Speaker 1: fired in May of twenty twenty three. Yeah, it needed
10:25
Speaker 1: to happen two years after the title. They've been fizzling
10:28
Speaker 1: and the players were bristling at his you know, his
10:32
Speaker 1: kind of stern ways, and you know that they felt like,
10:36
Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't the right coach for the moment,
10:38
Speaker 1: and they were mad and said that young you know,
10:40
Speaker 1: the franchise player wasn't thrilled with the hesitation that it
10:42
Speaker 1: took a week after the season to fire Bootos. He
10:44
Speaker 1: wanted him fired basically, and then he was getting ready
10:46
Speaker 1: to sign that extension. Yeah, so Adrian Griffin gets hired
10:49
Speaker 1: in June twenty twenty three.
10:51
Speaker 3: Because we like the idea of having a former player
10:54
Speaker 3: coach if I'm not in a mistake.
10:55
Speaker 2: The rumor was that Giannis was heavily involved.
10:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he met Soda, Chris Soda drew so he
11:02
Speaker 1: had a voice and he signed his first Max but
11:05
Speaker 1: it was part of the discussion and then that didn't
11:07
Speaker 1: work out. Then Drew Holiday traded Damian Lillard acquired.
11:11
Speaker 2: That was again a.
11:12
Speaker 1: Move designed to get Jannest to sign the extension. He
11:16
Speaker 1: was have a chance to win. It was a big bet.
11:20
Speaker 1: Didn't really work out. No, but the top seven five player. Yeah,
11:24
Speaker 1: you can't fault him. I still I'll never fault him
11:26
Speaker 1: for doing that.
11:27
Speaker 3: Never, No, especially when there was more conversation that hey,
11:30
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be that. There was a lot of rumblings
11:33
Speaker 3: in reporting that Janna still was really really enamored with
11:36
Speaker 3: playing with Dame, was desperate to be playing with Dame,
11:38
Speaker 3: really really wanted to play with Dame. Never said that
11:40
Speaker 3: he didn't want to play with Drew Holliday, just really
11:43
Speaker 3: really wanted to play with Damian Lillard.
11:44
Speaker 1: Sometimes there's gonna be a somebody's gonna have to go
11:47
Speaker 1: if you're going to get something like that. Yeah, Jannest
11:52
Speaker 1: was he wanted Griffin, but then realized quickly, like everybody did,
11:56
Speaker 1: that it wasn't gonna work.
11:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, he said it as quick as openly as you could.
12:01
Speaker 3: He was like, we need to have a game plan,
12:03
Speaker 3: we need we do need to have game plans.
12:05
Speaker 1: And you can the thing with Bud was Giannis wanted
12:09
Speaker 1: to guard Jimmy Butler when he was chewing up Drew Holliday.
12:12
Speaker 4: You know, Yannis wanted to take active in his mind
12:17
Speaker 4: what he thought were active, uh, you know, pro actions
12:21
Speaker 4: to winning, and if those weren't happening with what he
12:24
Speaker 4: deemed to be the coaching staff around him, his instinct was,
12:27
Speaker 4: we have to make a change because I need to
12:28
Speaker 4: have this. And I think it was his desperation to
12:31
Speaker 4: make those moves to push harder, to dig deeper that
12:34
Speaker 4: some you can say sometimes are a pro you know,
12:36
Speaker 4: it's counterintuitive and sometimes it's not. But yes, if there
12:40
Speaker 4: was the decision he wanted to make and he felt
12:42
Speaker 4: like he could wield that power, he was starting to
12:44
Speaker 4: be able to do it because it was his instinct
12:46
Speaker 4: and his drive and desire to win games after that
12:49
Speaker 4: first championship to keep winning championships. That you could say
12:52
Speaker 4: it was a double edged sword in that regard. You know,
12:55
Speaker 4: it's good to have that competitive spirit, it also might
12:57
Speaker 4: make you do things you maybe you shouldn't be doing
13:01
Speaker 4: in an organization, and that can be demanded as well.
13:05
Speaker 1: Then the hiring of Doc, you know, more troubles. Doc's
13:10
Speaker 1: first full season wasn't successful, just an erosion Middleton trade.
13:15
Speaker 1: That's definitely gonna be one of those points too. At
13:17
Speaker 1: the end of it, right, stung Giannis, right, that was
13:19
Speaker 1: his boy. That stung him, although sadly kind of needed
13:23
Speaker 1: to happen. They were at financially right, if they would
13:26
Speaker 1: have happened earlier, you would have maybe gotten something better
13:28
Speaker 1: than Kyle Kuzma, the Lillard injury and then then that
13:33
Speaker 1: last offseason.
13:33
Speaker 2: So yeah, Yanna said checked out.
13:36
Speaker 3: And again like I just maybe there's different ways that
13:40
Speaker 3: everybody will feel about it, but him getting the team
13:42
Speaker 3: investigated for not playing him, you know, that kind of
13:45
Speaker 3: that was definitely the final straw.
13:47
Speaker 4: Yeah.
13:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, if it would have gotten any worse from that,
13:50
Speaker 3: we would have definitely seen more folks going into the
13:53
Speaker 3: villain side of it.
13:54
Speaker 2: Like there there are good things and bad things.
13:56
Speaker 3: But I do still you know, even though you might
13:58
Speaker 3: not love everything that inspired towards the end, the way
14:02
Speaker 3: that they went about it and not being as loud
14:06
Speaker 3: about one singular destination, I do think ended up being
14:09
Speaker 3: able to help the Bucks get at least a little
14:11
Speaker 3: bit more out of Miami and drum up some kind
14:13
Speaker 3: of market because all of this that Jim is reporting
14:16
Speaker 3: is a lot of the stuff that people were hearing
14:19
Speaker 3: nationally for the last year plus, and even though we
14:24
Speaker 3: did for a long time, and we're able to pull
14:26
Speaker 3: it over and be like, yeah, but that's elsewhere, that's
14:28
Speaker 3: not happening here. That's definitely not happened. That's not as
14:30
Speaker 3: much Johns didn't necessarily know exactly who's happening. And there's
14:33
Speaker 3: a large portion of it that was somewhat accurate. And
14:37
Speaker 3: now at the end of the day, the chips fall out.
14:40
Speaker 3: You have one guy who's gonna go and play the
14:41
Speaker 3: rest of his career here, and you have a blank
14:44
Speaker 3: slate and hopefully, hopefully John Horst getting and nailing his
14:49
Speaker 3: first two lottery picks.
14:50
Speaker 2: I like that.
14:51
Speaker 3: He pointed that out last night too, Drew. He's like, Hey,
14:53
Speaker 3: I haven't had the opportunity to do this yet.
14:55
Speaker 2: Yeah. Last time we took a.
14:56
Speaker 3: Lottery pick was the tenth overall pick, and we selected
14:58
Speaker 3: than Maker. I wasn't making the selections when we made
15:01
Speaker 3: Don Maker. So for him to be able to now
15:04
Speaker 3: have this kind of capital and maybe put to bed
15:08
Speaker 3: some of the problems draft wise, it's a lot easier
15:11
Speaker 3: draft than at ten and thirteen than it is at
15:12
Speaker 3: twenty three and twenty six.
15:14
Speaker 4: Man, there were some nights I was excited about don
15:16
Speaker 4: There were some nights I was.
15:17
Speaker 2: Like, boy, this guy can be a piece. Well, it's
15:19
Speaker 2: gonna be good.
15:21
Speaker 1: Then you go back and at the bones of it,
15:23
Speaker 1: like the where'd the Bucks go wrong? Well, Serge of
15:25
Speaker 1: baka Dante DiVincenzo, that didn't work out. Serge didn't contribute. No,
15:31
Speaker 1: definitely didn't contribute. And for five seconds is the toughest one.
15:36
Speaker 1: That one didn't help because he wasn't even in the
15:39
Speaker 1: rotation one once you got to playoff time. And I
15:42
Speaker 1: mean the other part of this is like the injuries
15:45
Speaker 1: also didn't help. And when I understand why more frustrations
15:49
Speaker 1: would mount from Janni's being injured and not on the floor,
15:52
Speaker 1: because that's nobody wants to Nobody wants to be out
15:55
Speaker 1: there more than him, and that will allow.
15:58
Speaker 2: Everything to frustrate you.
15:59
Speaker 3: When the thing that you love the most you simply
16:02
Speaker 3: just can't contribute or help with.
16:03
Speaker 1: That's that's one of the toughest things to be able
16:05
Speaker 1: to deal with. Yeah, who changed the honest? Did the
16:07
Speaker 1: Bucks change? Did the honest change? Did both change both change.
16:11
Speaker 1: That's the thing is fair.
16:13
Speaker 4: And when you talk about the Bucks, that's a more
16:15
Speaker 4: of an abstract construct because it's multiple people in the organization.
16:18
Speaker 2: Giannas is one singular.
16:20
Speaker 4: Of course, he changed a little bit, I mean, or
16:22
Speaker 4: to whatever extent you want to say, But who wouldn't
16:24
Speaker 4: I don't think that's crazy to say that I And
16:27
Speaker 4: I also think that him wielding more power in the
16:30
Speaker 4: organization is pretty normal for someone that reached the stature
16:33
Speaker 4: he had. I don't know many many great players that
16:37
Speaker 4: didn't do that. Now, maybe some by choice lean leaned
16:41
Speaker 4: back on it more then leaned in. But that seems
16:44
Speaker 4: to be to me, and that's why I said it earlier,
16:46
Speaker 4: a natural course of events. And that's just the way humanity,
16:51
Speaker 4: or you know, the pathology of humans seems to go.
16:55
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
16:56
Speaker 4: It seems to be that you know, you want to say, like,
16:59
Speaker 4: you'll never chance change, and we all change much less
17:03
Speaker 4: coming into fame, money and success like that. We all
17:06
Speaker 4: change from nineteen to thirty one, from eighteen to thirty one.
17:08
Speaker 4: So it's a complicated thing, and obviously it's been an
17:11
Speaker 4: emotional thing for a lot of us as Bucks fans,
17:15
Speaker 4: But It's something you know, I think we had to
17:17
Speaker 4: expect a little bit, is that, Yes, he will change
17:20
Speaker 4: a little bit.
17:21
Speaker 2: He had changed a little bit, and that's just the
17:23
Speaker 2: way it went.
17:24
Speaker 1: Keep him coming hot takes eight seven, seven, seven, nine
17:27
Speaker 1: to four one ninety seven three. We can go through
17:30
Speaker 1: the bones. Let's just I say, let's just approach it
17:33
Speaker 1: from the gratitude. Better to have had Giannis for thirteen
17:37
Speaker 1: years than to have not had Yanis.
17:38
Speaker 2: Hey, it's better to have loved at all. All good
17:41
Speaker 2: things come to an end, and this came to an end. Dude.
17:45
Speaker 2: You got to watch you hit it on the head.
17:47
Speaker 3: You got to watch them of the best basketball of
17:49
Speaker 3: all time, got to enjoy a title in Milwaukee for
17:54
Speaker 3: the only time in a large portion of our lifetimes.
17:57
Speaker 2: Some folks were lucky enough to see the seventy one one.
18:00
Speaker 3: But it hits differently, and he will forever be in
18:04
Speaker 3: this town, whether physically or not emotionally, and with the
18:09
Speaker 3: memories it always will be sure.
18:11
Speaker 1: That'll always still be the house that he built. It's
18:13
Speaker 1: halftime of the week. We've reached halftime of the program.
18:16
Speaker 1: Scott Dolphin Country Station down the Hall. FM one O
18:19
Speaker 1: six is gonna join us next our halftime correspondent get
18:21
Speaker 1: his thoughts about the draft, about the Brewers, and about
18:24
Speaker 1: everything else.
18:25
Speaker 2: It's the Huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
18:33
Speaker 1: Rolling through a Wednesdays halftime of the week. Halftime of
18:35
Speaker 1: the Huddle, we welcome Scott Dolphin from the country station
18:38
Speaker 1: down the hall, FM one O six one, Hello, Dolph, boys,
18:40
Speaker 1: what's happening all right? So NBA draft Bucks get their picks.
18:44
Speaker 1: It was moved briskly and early on. Well, there was
18:48
Speaker 1: a run on freshmen. Eight of the first nine players
18:52
Speaker 1: have completed their freshman college seasons. And what was it
18:54
Speaker 1: half of the guys in the draft were more than
18:56
Speaker 1: half were big ten and big twelve. That fits. That's
19:00
Speaker 1: where the best ball. We run on Michigan men too. Yeah,
19:02
Speaker 1: as we expected from the national champs. But the kid
19:06
Speaker 1: the Bucks got who Michigan took down in the final four.
19:08
Speaker 1: By the way, Arizona Braydon Burrys is is a man
19:12
Speaker 1: six four two fifteen. He was the first thing you
19:14
Speaker 1: noticed when you watched those Arizona wild casts passes.
19:17
Speaker 3: And just it seemed like he did everything right, Dolph,
19:19
Speaker 3: That's what I like. It seemed like he was able
19:22
Speaker 3: to make the right play didn't seem like he stretched
19:24
Speaker 3: or tried to do too much. And the interesting thing
19:27
Speaker 3: is both Amen and Burry's both got knocked out by
19:29
Speaker 3: the by the Wolverines right at think Tennessee lost to
19:32
Speaker 3: Michigan too, so they both had the final foe before
19:36
Speaker 3: they before they entered the league.
19:37
Speaker 2: I'm intrigued by Amen.
19:38
Speaker 5: Obviously he's going to have to get in the weight
19:39
Speaker 5: room a little bit, you know, before he's he's a.
19:41
Speaker 2: Good We we got to get him some protein shacks, big time.
19:44
Speaker 2: We got to get him some protein shacks nineteen.
19:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean, I just like I still and
19:49
Speaker 3: maybe this is just one nerdy, little competitive thing in me.
19:53
Speaker 3: You mentioned all of those guys that was it, eight
19:55
Speaker 3: of nine freshmen.
19:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. Okay, So apparently NBA money still
19:59
Speaker 2: better than I money.
20:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can confirm NBA money still better than NIL money.
20:05
Speaker 3: It will still always be that. But he had nil
20:08
Speaker 3: money and he knew that he was gonna be a
20:10
Speaker 3: lottery pick and still came back and played the last
20:13
Speaker 3: what two months on that ankle injury.
20:15
Speaker 2: Good point year.
20:15
Speaker 3: They didn't definitely didn't have to do that. Good easily
20:17
Speaker 3: shut that down and NBA money.
20:19
Speaker 5: Is ridiculous, especially when you get it at that level. Now,
20:22
Speaker 5: it's not right at the at the start, though, is it.
20:24
Speaker 2: It's getting better. It's pretty good though.
20:25
Speaker 4: Now if you're slotted in the first round, depending where
20:28
Speaker 4: you are, it's a lot different than it was fifteen
20:30
Speaker 4: years ago.
20:31
Speaker 5: If you're getting Look, it's better if you're you know,
20:34
Speaker 5: a scrub in your eighth or ninth year in the
20:36
Speaker 5: league and you're down there at the end of the bench,
20:38
Speaker 5: you're probably still drawing more than most rookies are getting, still.
20:42
Speaker 3: Making some pretty solid cash. Yeah, the pick by pick
20:45
Speaker 3: this was from Yahoo.
20:47
Speaker 4: Uh.
20:47
Speaker 3: Year one salary for Braiden Burry's will be six point
20:50
Speaker 3: six mil solid total contract worth just over thirty ament
20:54
Speaker 3: will be at five point six. So he's got Braiden's
20:57
Speaker 3: got to pick up the first check.
20:58
Speaker 5: And what puts that into pspective when you you put
21:01
Speaker 5: that up against baseball or football And no, of course
21:03
Speaker 5: signing bonuses can be big two in baseball and football,
21:06
Speaker 5: but boy, six point six is pretty damn good money.
21:09
Speaker 5: You can live on that in Milwaukee, maybe even on
21:11
Speaker 5: the East Sideway.
21:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know there's taxes, but you can do it. Yeah,
21:17
Speaker 2: you can do it.
21:17
Speaker 5: Can you get a nice uh maybe a one bed,
21:20
Speaker 5: one bath on one of those towers on Prospect.
21:24
Speaker 2: Oh I think that money. I think you could. Yeah,
21:26
Speaker 2: I think you can make it work.
21:27
Speaker 3: This isn't many, but you might as well give it
21:28
Speaker 3: two or three because you don't necessarily know who's going
21:30
Speaker 3: to come in hang out.
21:31
Speaker 2: You might have another good spot for your game.
21:34
Speaker 5: Maybe Levin Drew's neighborhoods where I would be talking and Ray.
21:38
Speaker 2: Ray got to have a room, to have a spot
21:40
Speaker 2: to hang out.
21:40
Speaker 3: We gotta have a different location. You don't want to
21:42
Speaker 3: do it all in your room, that's right. Oh my goodness.
21:45
Speaker 1: H So the draft is well day one of the
21:47
Speaker 1: drafts again, like it's hot te comp day and I
21:51
Speaker 1: it is travesty that we can't announce this trade and
21:54
Speaker 1: that the Heat had to make the pick and we
21:56
Speaker 1: know he's going to the Bucks and we and John
21:58
Speaker 1: Horse can't talk about the biggest trade. Yeah, in fifty
22:01
Speaker 1: years in the state of wiscon completing the fifth last night,
22:05
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous, Like.
22:06
Speaker 2: They changed that right.
22:08
Speaker 1: Also ridiculous is the fact that they they spun off
22:10
Speaker 1: the second round into its own night, which that's pretty rough.
22:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty rough.
22:16
Speaker 1: The Bucks don't have a pick, but even if they did,
22:18
Speaker 1: is that musty TV?
22:19
Speaker 5: Well, this ridiculous thing of everybody knows who you're who,
22:24
Speaker 5: the heat we're going to take at thirteen and it's
22:26
Speaker 5: going to go to Milwaukee. And they've been doing this
22:28
Speaker 5: since what the Bucks took Dirk way back when?
22:30
Speaker 2: Right?
22:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no doubt the trailer all that well, and
22:33
Speaker 3: then I mean, it's just they're all so different. The
22:36
Speaker 3: NFL Roger Goodell goes up and announces the trade, do
22:40
Speaker 3: tell you who is getting traded and who he's going
22:43
Speaker 3: to do that? NBA it should be easier and I
22:46
Speaker 3: get it. Wherever the CBA lines up, and how it
22:48
Speaker 3: would you can make an exception for the television spectacle
22:52
Speaker 3: that you're trying to make it the two night thing.
22:54
Speaker 3: I'm I guess the toothpaste is out of the tube.
22:57
Speaker 3: But I thought it was just let's celebrate Bronni when
22:59
Speaker 3: he is going to be the fifty sixth overall pick
23:01
Speaker 3: or whatever it was. Then we all watched how bad
23:04
Speaker 3: it was they could maybe we didn't all watch. I
23:07
Speaker 3: definitely shouldn't have watched as much of it as I did.
23:09
Speaker 3: Was it a broom closet in Bristol, Connecticut. I don't
23:12
Speaker 3: know where it's going to be tonight, but it was
23:14
Speaker 3: one of the more awkward situations and awkward viewings of
23:17
Speaker 3: all time. They're definitely going to draw a horrendous number
23:20
Speaker 3: here tonight compared to you know, the NFL second night.
23:23
Speaker 5: They could just do a scroller at the bottom of
23:25
Speaker 5: the screen. I'm sure that's what. Is that what MLB
23:27
Speaker 5: does with their draft once they get down in the
23:28
Speaker 5: lower rounds?
23:29
Speaker 1: Probably, yeah, I say, I still read the names out,
23:33
Speaker 1: I think, and you there didn't used to be.
23:35
Speaker 2: There's only twenty rounds there.
23:36
Speaker 3: They've bumped up how cool the MLB draft is in
23:39
Speaker 3: the last couple after they've tried to because now it's
23:41
Speaker 3: around All Star I'm not gonna say it. It's the
23:44
Speaker 3: weekend of the All Star Game instead of like this
23:46
Speaker 3: weekend where it usually was.
23:47
Speaker 4: There's only twenty rounds and that's that's the other part.
23:50
Speaker 4: There's not as many rounds as there used to be.
23:52
Speaker 4: What was Mike Piazza, what round was going?
23:55
Speaker 1: There used to be like sixty rounds in the draft. Well,
23:57
Speaker 1: they used to go till everybody passed like you could.
23:59
Speaker 1: You could have pick seventy players if you wanted to,
24:01
Speaker 1: and a lot of times like you pick the the
24:03
Speaker 1: general manager's nephew, and sure there was a lot of
24:06
Speaker 1: like nepatism picks, yeah exactly.
24:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, Or Tommy Lisorda's got sonn fielder, yeah, jad And
24:12
Speaker 5: I'm sorry Jayden Haven.
24:13
Speaker 2: Well, those guys are playing, that's right.
24:15
Speaker 3: En end up playing, and that's why you end up
24:18
Speaker 3: having guys that are unsigned, you know.
24:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, undrafted, unsigned, undrafted rookies. So it's kind of interesting.
24:24
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Bucks are better and you know, top
24:26
Speaker 1: to bottom, their roster even without Giannis, is better than
24:29
Speaker 1: it was.
24:30
Speaker 5: It's gonna be interesting to see that starting five. Now,
24:33
Speaker 5: what happens to Ryan Rollins? By the way, now that
24:35
Speaker 5: you you bring in point.
24:37
Speaker 3: Guard, well, I still think Ryan Rollin's gonna be here.
24:40
Speaker 3: And we touched on this a little earlier, like I
24:42
Speaker 3: heard some people being like, well, I don't know how
24:44
Speaker 3: there's all fids together, like these guys aren't gonna fit.
24:46
Speaker 3: KP's got a player option he could exercise. I would
24:49
Speaker 3: assume he's gonna go and try to make some money
24:51
Speaker 3: somewhere else. So he's making three and a half. I
24:53
Speaker 3: think on the player option, I think maybe he could
24:54
Speaker 3: get something more in the guaranteed market. Rolind's gonna be
24:57
Speaker 3: restricted next year, but I would anticipate that he's on
25:00
Speaker 3: the team at worse until February, just like I think
25:04
Speaker 3: with Hero and Company as well, it makes sense for
25:07
Speaker 3: you to start the year with them, and then I
25:09
Speaker 3: think you build up some more capital and maybe some
25:12
Speaker 3: more trade value and flip somebody at the deadline.
25:14
Speaker 2: That'd be cool to see.
25:15
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I'm just my brain is saying, Oh,
25:17
Speaker 5: he's probably not going to be here, but it would
25:18
Speaker 5: be cool to see Tyler Hero play here.
25:20
Speaker 1: I like Uzman Zeng, Yeah, I think he'll do. And
25:24
Speaker 1: Jericho sims like, yeah, you're pretty athletic. And they're better
25:28
Speaker 1: than they were I think. And good point. And we
25:30
Speaker 1: were saying earlier Dolph that as bad as the Bucks
25:32
Speaker 1: were last year, they won thirty nine games with a
25:34
Speaker 1: coach who had checked out and was playing golf instead
25:36
Speaker 1: of having shoot rounds. And then with Taylor Jenkins, you
25:40
Speaker 1: give him some talent, they could be on the fringe
25:43
Speaker 1: of a five hundred ish playoffs and most people are
25:46
Speaker 1: picking win twenty five games. They're going to be better
25:47
Speaker 1: than that. And I hate to sound because I'm echoing
25:50
Speaker 1: Skip Bayless. Sure, but who said the Bucks are going
25:53
Speaker 1: to be better than people think?
25:54
Speaker 3: The funniest thing is you're coming out on the hot
25:56
Speaker 3: take saying that they could match the record they had
25:59
Speaker 3: a year ago. They had thirty six games of Giannis
26:01
Speaker 3: and they were five hundred in those games.
26:03
Speaker 2: It's not a little bit worse.
26:04
Speaker 5: Under five hundred with Jannis right, seventeen and nineteen or
26:08
Speaker 5: something like that.
26:08
Speaker 3: That sounds exactly right. Yep, Yeah, just Tom Thibodeau teams
26:13
Speaker 3: have shown it for a long time. You play hard
26:15
Speaker 3: every single night, you're gonna win about half of your
26:17
Speaker 3: games because that's one of the toughest things to do
26:19
Speaker 3: in the NBA.
26:20
Speaker 2: Where do you think, Dolph?
26:21
Speaker 1: This is part of the fan rationalization though, So now
26:23
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, well Yiannis is no longer here, and
26:26
Speaker 1: well he was a jerk at the end anyway, and
26:28
Speaker 1: like he he became too big and he was you know,
26:31
Speaker 1: come on.
26:32
Speaker 5: That's that's that classic sports fan makeup there, don't you think.
26:35
Speaker 5: I mean, yes, I have friends that are Bears fans
26:38
Speaker 5: that'll say he's my guy. He's my guy, he's my
26:40
Speaker 5: guy in these same well, you know, the time was right,
26:43
Speaker 5: he was.
26:44
Speaker 1: His stats were down this year, Risky. Yeah, I love you,
26:47
Speaker 1: I love you, I love you. I let hate him,
26:49
Speaker 1: get rid of him. The King is dead.
26:51
Speaker 2: Long live the King.
26:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where we're at with honest, A lot of
26:55
Speaker 1: people say, and he was a jerk, and you know
26:57
Speaker 1: he he he was part of the problem. He was
26:59
Speaker 1: partly everybody's part of the problem. Everybody boy sports, this happens.
27:03
Speaker 1: But yeah, this this parting of the ways again. And
27:06
Speaker 1: Jim Ozarski's got the story about just the slow bleed
27:09
Speaker 1: over the last few years of going from the title
27:12
Speaker 1: to and again an aging roster. Whose fault is that
27:15
Speaker 1: that they kept trying to run it back with an aging.
27:18
Speaker 2: Several years in a row. One more time and then.
27:20
Speaker 1: They traded his best buddy, Chris Middleton, and that drove
27:23
Speaker 1: a wedge And it's like that showed him that it's
27:25
Speaker 1: a business and like what it was.
27:26
Speaker 4: Also the reality of the situation there was going to
27:28
Speaker 4: be a slow decline to the veterans he played with,
27:30
Speaker 4: grew up with, and loved this nature with as his
27:33
Speaker 4: brothers of this championship brothers that was just not gonna last.
27:36
Speaker 2: Forever, Like how did Rogers like it when they traded
27:38
Speaker 2: like this?
27:40
Speaker 4: It's like, these are the guys that I forged with
27:43
Speaker 4: in battles through fire and like they'll be these are
27:46
Speaker 4: the ones that had the DNA to wom at me
27:48
Speaker 4: forever and when that time was starting to pass, it's
27:51
Speaker 4: just hard. It's an emotional thing and it's it's it's
27:53
Speaker 4: hard for me.
27:53
Speaker 2: Coaches have a.
27:54
Speaker 1: Shelf life, doesn't the stand the reason that star players do,
27:57
Speaker 1: because of the cycle and the circle of life. They
27:59
Speaker 1: often saw Brett Favre dressing in the coach's locker room
28:03
Speaker 1: because he was their age and he was like hanging
28:05
Speaker 1: out with use instead of the young kids.
28:07
Speaker 4: Those Jets stories that came out after he left, and
28:09
Speaker 4: it looked like it was like he had separated himself
28:13
Speaker 4: from the team and he lost his connection. It's just
28:15
Speaker 4: the tailors old as time, That's why. And we talked
28:18
Speaker 4: about earlier, like is there a villain? I hear so
28:21
Speaker 4: much anger? Sometimes I think people get emotional and they
28:23
Speaker 4: get anger they want to lash out, But sometimes it's
28:26
Speaker 4: just the way and when.
28:27
Speaker 1: Teams don't achieve success, Oftentimes the fingers get pointed at
28:32
Speaker 1: the best player right.
28:34
Speaker 3: Well, and a lot of times player the best players
28:36
Speaker 3: wield a little bit more control, a little bit more
28:38
Speaker 3: power in it.
28:39
Speaker 2: I just the other one of the most.
28:41
Speaker 3: Difficult things is that the best team, maybe that they've
28:44
Speaker 3: the best team that they had, the one that they
28:46
Speaker 3: won the most with. Maybe the worst thing was that
28:48
Speaker 3: they tried to keep it together a little bit too long.
28:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, like Drew said, they tried running it back, and
28:52
Speaker 5: that happened a few different seasons. You know, I look
28:56
Speaker 5: back to the Drew Holiday trade. I know he didn't
28:58
Speaker 5: have his best year that lastlast year he was here,
29:00
Speaker 5: But after that happened, I'm like, oh man, you know,
29:03
Speaker 5: they're breaking up the band.
29:04
Speaker 2: It's you know, the team that won it all in
29:06
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. But that's the new NBA.
29:07
Speaker 5: As you mentioned yesterday, Drew, there's one guy left from
29:10
Speaker 5: that championship series.
29:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, on both teams, there's one guy left, and five
29:15
Speaker 1: years later there's one guy left.
29:16
Speaker 2: Well, the original team.
29:17
Speaker 3: And you'll be able to do that roster construction with
29:21
Speaker 3: teams that start winning again. Right the Warriors win, the
29:23
Speaker 3: team win the year right after them. Next year, very cleanly.
29:27
Speaker 3: When we do this one, it might be Steph Curry's
29:29
Speaker 3: the only guy that's still on that team, right, I
29:31
Speaker 3: think right now, i'd him and Draymont. I won it
29:33
Speaker 3: against the Celtics, and don't look now, the Celtics are
29:37
Speaker 3: a whole lot different than they were when they won
29:39
Speaker 3: the title because two massive pieces Drew Holliday and Porzingis
29:42
Speaker 3: immediately had to go like, you have to recycle your
29:45
Speaker 3: team so much more with this cap, and it quickly
29:49
Speaker 3: caught up to teams like the Bucks who just tried
29:51
Speaker 3: to be able to spend and spend and spends.
29:53
Speaker 2: If you have a superstar like most of those teams do.
29:56
Speaker 3: Yes, nice, Yeah, another one where like you're not gonna
29:58
Speaker 3: win it if you don't have one. But we also
30:00
Speaker 3: need to find like one guy that's playing like a
30:02
Speaker 3: superstar that we're paying four million bucks.
30:05
Speaker 2: Yeah right, we are all now trying.
30:07
Speaker 3: Everyone wants to find their SGA, but everyone really wants
30:10
Speaker 3: to find their aj Mitchell, the guy that they've paid
30:12
Speaker 3: that okay, see paid.
30:13
Speaker 2: Five million bucks a year. He was filling up twenty
30:15
Speaker 2: at night.
30:16
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you know, the Celtics have you know, two
30:19
Speaker 5: horses right now. But they also have a good lot
30:22
Speaker 5: of pieces. Look at the Knicks. I don't think anybody
30:25
Speaker 5: had them penciled in to win it all, and maybe
30:27
Speaker 5: not even you know, make it deep into the playoffs.
30:30
Speaker 5: But Jalen Brunson was not the guy you were gonna,
30:32
Speaker 5: you know, saddle up and ride right through the playoffs
30:35
Speaker 5: when he was in Dallas.
30:36
Speaker 4: Which kind of made their story more intriguing and endearing
30:39
Speaker 4: to a lot of people that they were kind of
30:41
Speaker 4: an underdog.
30:42
Speaker 2: I don't know about endearing. It is New York, that's
30:44
Speaker 2: the that's.
30:45
Speaker 4: The one thing, right obviously, yeah, New York. But as
30:47
Speaker 4: New York teams go, they seem to be more I.
30:49
Speaker 2: Don't want to say lovable.
30:51
Speaker 1: They were likable, but we're not sick. Are you talking
30:53
Speaker 1: about the Yankees too when it comes to lovable?
30:55
Speaker 4: Oh sure, yeah, yeah the Yankees everyone, you know, because
30:57
Speaker 4: they they're always that plucky underdog.
30:59
Speaker 2: Days like rooting for US Steel.
31:01
Speaker 4: When was the last time they were ninety six? Maybe
31:04
Speaker 4: that they're like the plucky like good.
31:06
Speaker 2: Field good story. Yeah, I think yeah. Probably they emerged
31:10
Speaker 2: with that group of guys that came up together and yeah, yeah,
31:13
Speaker 2: Jeter and Andy Pettitt and you know Martinez Da Yeah,
31:18
Speaker 2: Paul O'Neill was in the mix.
31:20
Speaker 4: It's just funny how that that seems to work. But
31:22
Speaker 4: even when we look at the teams that do win.
31:24
Speaker 4: While I talk about baseball, like the Dodgers have been
31:26
Speaker 4: saddled with that moniker of having the money, but they
31:29
Speaker 4: grow a lot of guys themselves, They have their development
31:31
Speaker 4: as well. You just have to have a full team
31:33
Speaker 4: to win championships, you know, in a lot of ways.
31:35
Speaker 4: And that's what we're seeing.
31:36
Speaker 1: Look at the Knicks this year, a bunch of contributing
31:39
Speaker 1: role players, and you know they run back with Cleveland
31:44
Speaker 1: on the rise, with Boston.
31:47
Speaker 3: Twothing, so they got hard in one more year, older
31:51
Speaker 3: and older.
31:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, for tougher situation.
31:54
Speaker 3: There more games, into more Game sevens that he might
31:57
Speaker 3: have to play. I think Boston's the one that everybody
32:00
Speaker 3: thought was still gonna roll into this year as the
32:02
Speaker 3: unquestioned favorite. Now you got to wonder how much of
32:05
Speaker 3: it they got to blow up because I can't imagine
32:07
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown wants to be on that team in two weeks.
32:09
Speaker 2: Guess can be tough.
32:10
Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna want to be on that
32:12
Speaker 3: team in two weeks they just went through, so a
32:14
Speaker 3: lot of work to do. All of a sudden, you
32:16
Speaker 3: will look up and the Knicks will be the the
32:18
Speaker 3: unquestioned favorite, I think in the East, unless you know what,
32:21
Speaker 3: maybe there's a rabbit out of the hat. Maybe Norman
32:23
Speaker 3: Powell does stay with Miami and a couple of guys
32:26
Speaker 3: take the minimum and all of a sudden, the heat
32:27
Speaker 3: or the coming back strong arman, what do you think.
32:31
Speaker 4: I don't know that the odds weren't terrible for them.
32:34
Speaker 4: I saw it for futures. But I mean they got Zubats.
32:37
Speaker 4: They do have him. They traded a decent amount for him.
32:40
Speaker 4: You know, Haliburton's coming back in theory, but I mean
32:44
Speaker 4: the shingles seem to mess them up for a long time.
32:46
Speaker 3: I think Tyre's Halliberger will be ready. He'll be ready.
32:49
Speaker 3: All right, Well, we'll see.
32:50
Speaker 4: The Pacers were obviously the story two years ago, turned
32:54
Speaker 4: out to be one of the worst teams in basketball
32:56
Speaker 4: last year. So whether or not that was a flash
32:58
Speaker 4: in the pan, and they're not gonna be able the
33:00
Speaker 4: same success. They're going to be right back on the
33:01
Speaker 4: horse again driving into the playoffs.
33:03
Speaker 2: Will remain to be seen. But last year was hard
33:06
Speaker 2: to convince me of that.
33:06
Speaker 4: Now, obviously they weren't the full pacers that they wore
33:09
Speaker 4: two years ago.
33:10
Speaker 5: But I don't know what about the Pistons. We keep
33:12
Speaker 5: paring rumors that they're talking about making a big play.
33:15
Speaker 2: That's another team. I mean that.
33:16
Speaker 4: Okay, they were the best team in the East record wise.
33:19
Speaker 4: We're close to making some you know. So they did
33:22
Speaker 4: win a.
33:22
Speaker 2: Series, right, they came back to win a series.
33:25
Speaker 5: That you know, the rumor was they'd like to add
33:27
Speaker 5: Tyler Hero. Don't know if it's going to happen, but a.
33:30
Speaker 4: Lot of teams in that mix in the East that
33:31
Speaker 4: are kind of desperate to find that missing piece, so
33:34
Speaker 4: to speak.
33:34
Speaker 3: But in Orlando last year, right around this time was
33:37
Speaker 3: everybody's hot pick to click because they went and traded
33:39
Speaker 3: for Desmond Bane.
33:40
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden they were this five
33:41
Speaker 2: or the sixth seed.
33:42
Speaker 5: And you know, that was one of the rumors we
33:44
Speaker 5: heard with the Boxes, would they take go sniffing around,
33:47
Speaker 5: you know, a bunch er down there.
33:48
Speaker 2: But it didn't happen.
33:49
Speaker 3: Now, that would have been the move. You would have
33:50
Speaker 3: had a very excited Billy Schmidt over on this very
33:55
Speaker 3: excited Billy on the side of the table. Oh my goodness.
34:00
Speaker 1: So question is who's the bucks next All Star or
34:06
Speaker 1: should I say Superstar?
34:07
Speaker 2: Brandon Berry's come on now, let's go baby, that's him. Yes, yes, yes.
34:13
Speaker 1: Tyler Herro gonna average twenty eight a game and make
34:16
Speaker 1: an All Star team?
34:18
Speaker 2: Might next All Star?
34:20
Speaker 1: Because I'm old enough to remember when they went like
34:22
Speaker 1: fifteen years without an All Star it was disgusting.
34:25
Speaker 5: What about one of those guys you mentioned early in
34:27
Speaker 5: our conversation that came out of nowhere last year and
34:31
Speaker 5: because they had to play out of necessity and they
34:33
Speaker 5: were lighting it up. I mean you saw some of
34:35
Speaker 5: the talent out there.
34:37
Speaker 2: Yeah?
34:37
Speaker 1: Maybe, Yeah, there were nights when Giannis didn't play that
34:39
Speaker 1: they showed some flashes.
34:41
Speaker 2: Despite Doc, they were a lot more entertaining.
34:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's always been guys like that in Buck's history.
34:46
Speaker 5: You think of going back to Michael Red, was he
34:48
Speaker 5: a second round?
34:49
Speaker 2: Second round? Drew?
34:50
Speaker 3: I definitely should have a better answer for I. I
34:52
Speaker 3: got to dig in on who's gonna be their next
34:53
Speaker 3: All Star. I'm just still wondering where we're gonna watch them.
34:56
Speaker 2: That's a good question.
34:59
Speaker 1: He all wants to talking about that, like they did
35:01
Speaker 1: a thing like the mayor held a press conference about
35:03
Speaker 1: Giannis leaving and they were the the MMAC, the you know,
35:06
Speaker 1: the Chamber of Commerce whatever they're talking about.
35:09
Speaker 2: How you know, thanks Jiannest.
35:10
Speaker 1: But will this impact business because people will they travel
35:13
Speaker 1: as much to see the Bucks, stay in hotels and stuff.
35:16
Speaker 2: But then you know, are we watching them on TV?
35:19
Speaker 2: Where where's the TV money come from? Where are they
35:22
Speaker 2: going to be?
35:22
Speaker 5: You can get a cheap ticket at Viser channel eighteen
35:24
Speaker 5: twenty four. Hey, by the way, speaking of Milwaukee, very
35:27
Speaker 5: cool gesture last night, Homebridge, Mitchell Park, domes, fifteen downtown
35:31
Speaker 5: high rises all lit up in Bucks crew. It was
35:33
Speaker 5: cool in honor of Giannis and the mayor. Bobby of course,

Speaker 2: Billy, who do you got for Who's Hot? Easy one
36:30
Speaker 2: on Who's Hot? Yesterday?
36:31
Speaker 3: Two hits, Bryce terraing and Brandon Sproute was dominant, eighty pitches,
36:36
Speaker 3: ten k's six innings, one hit the lone base runner
36:40
Speaker 3: on that one hit that sprinkles in in the sixth inning.
36:43
Speaker 3: Jake Bauer's credit with a triple as he drives in one.
36:45
Speaker 3: Andrew Vaughan gets a sack fly for a little insurance.
36:48
Speaker 3: Who's not the entire Reds lineup as they had two
36:51
Speaker 3: hits yesterday and it was a beautiful thing to watch.
36:54
Speaker 3: A great American small park. But also in the not category.
36:57
Speaker 3: Earlier in the day, guys, Shane Bieber, noted very very
37:03
Speaker 3: decorated starting pitcher made his debut on the season because
37:06
Speaker 3: he's been nursing himself back from an arm injury. Well,
37:09
Speaker 3: his debut did not necessarily go as plan for the
37:11
Speaker 3: Toronto Blue Jays, who went three and two thirds. Gave
37:13
Speaker 3: up nine hits, four ernies. Okay, that's not that terrible
37:17
Speaker 3: seventy five pitches, it's all about the process, and drew
37:21
Speaker 3: In that fourth inning, he gave up not one, not two,
37:23
Speaker 3: but three consecutive solo shots.
37:25
Speaker 2: Hey, that led to those four runs, three bombs all
37:29
Speaker 2: in a row.
37:29
Speaker 3: They quickly took Bieber out and his day was done
37:33
Speaker 3: on his debut of the twenty twenty sixth season for
37:37
Speaker 3: Shane Bieber. Also in the hot category, how about twelve
37:39
Speaker 3: runs put up on fourteen hits for the Kansas City Royals.
37:42
Speaker 3: They have not found themselves into that spot much all
37:45
Speaker 3: year long. Yankees win yesterday as well, and Jazz Chisholm
37:49
Speaker 3: goes yard. He was two for four. He's got twelve
37:52
Speaker 3: bombs on the year. Even though Tom Hamilton didn't necessarily
37:54
Speaker 3: know why he was on the tonight show. Jazz Chisholm
37:57
Speaker 3: has been putting up some power there in that bat
37:59
Speaker 3: and the Philadelphia Fillies continue there winning ways. They come
38:02
Speaker 3: back on the Nationals fourteen to nine last night. Also
38:06
Speaker 3: hot was Dusty May. Now, I don't know what you
38:10
Speaker 3: guys thought of his reactions yesterday after they selected a
38:15
Speaker 3: Michigan man for the Dallas Mavericks there at nine, when
38:19
Speaker 3: Mara and Jaxxel Lindeberg both got drafted, he gave the
38:23
Speaker 3: fired up like I'm excited, but also son of a gun.
38:26
Speaker 2: Could they have not gone to the East.
38:28
Speaker 3: It seemed like they went to two immediate adversaries of
38:32
Speaker 3: the Dallas Mavericks. Especially when Mara goes to the Thunder.
38:36
Speaker 3: He had the big reaction of I'm really glad he
38:39
Speaker 3: got picked in the lottery.
38:40
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
38:42
Speaker 3: Really, we're gonna have to play against them five times.
38:44
Speaker 3: And there was that moment where Dusty's like, well, son
38:47
Speaker 3: of a gun. I thought I was not gonna have
38:48
Speaker 3: to deal with a seven foot three guy that can defend,
38:51
Speaker 3: and now I'm gonna have to see him quite some time.
38:53
Speaker 3: That was an interesting conundrum as they put him in
38:55
Speaker 3: that little line of college coaches. Yeah, he was like
38:57
Speaker 3: in the I don't know what you call that gallery, Like, well,
39:00
Speaker 3: what it looked like to me was the guys that
39:02
Speaker 3: go to prom and the girls were all taking pictures
39:05
Speaker 3: right like the guys.
39:07
Speaker 2: The dudes are just sitting.
39:08
Speaker 3: There waiting to finally get into the limo get away
39:11
Speaker 3: not have to deal with this. And then there was
39:13
Speaker 3: Dusty May, who is the freshman in college coming back
39:17
Speaker 3: to hang out with the guys for prom. Because they're
39:19
Speaker 3: all looking at them saying like, we're not going to
39:21
Speaker 3: see you much anymore, all right, see it, Dusty.
39:23
Speaker 4: Once upon a time, and people shopped in the actual
39:25
Speaker 4: brick and mortar in person that back in.
39:26
Speaker 2: The day you go to the mall. All the dads were.
39:28
Speaker 4: Like, all the husbands were sitting around in the waiting
39:31
Speaker 4: room talking together because their wives are right shopping, And
39:34
Speaker 4: I thought that was funny. Also taking Marez Johnson, It's like,
39:37
Speaker 4: you know, Dusty May had to pick his favorite Michigan
39:40
Speaker 4: and it's like, okay, you just revealed. You just told
39:42
Speaker 4: on yourself who your favorite guy was. Everyone was joking
39:44
Speaker 4: about that one too, so I thought that was entertaining.
39:47
Speaker 4: That last night that was pretty good. Did we talk
39:50
Speaker 4: about the Portland coach yesterday? But uh hm, the Blazers
39:54
Speaker 4: hiring a coach.
39:55
Speaker 3: Uh No, we did not talk Mike about much about
39:58
Speaker 3: Mike and Noryu getting the job in a one year
40:01
Speaker 3: deal in Portland.
40:02
Speaker 2: Of course it was a one year deal. Save your money.
40:04
Speaker 2: Now let's make let's let's let's get some action. One
40:07
Speaker 2: year deal.
40:09
Speaker 3: And nor he's been an unguaranteed year kind of a
40:12
Speaker 3: coveted guy.
40:13
Speaker 2: Wow.
40:14
Speaker 4: And then yeah, gets he's being head coach in the
40:16
Speaker 4: NBA and the jobs don't come around that Splitter.
40:18
Speaker 2: What did Splitter get like a four or five year deal?
40:21
Speaker 4: Right?
40:22
Speaker 2: Standard deal? Well, it's your team options and a one
40:24
Speaker 2: year deal.
40:25
Speaker 3: And now that's that's uh two coaches this year who
40:29
Speaker 3: have gotten one year deals as new head coaches, first
40:31
Speaker 3: time head coaches. Because I believe it's Kurt Suzuki who's
40:34
Speaker 3: the manager of the Angels. He's on a one year deal.
40:37
Speaker 3: Like Hardy Brino said, I'm not spending any extra money.
40:39
Speaker 1: I gotta pay trout and Micah Norri has a sliding
40:41
Speaker 1: scale based on uh success and incentives, so you get
40:45
Speaker 1: more if you win more. That's is this the future
40:47
Speaker 1: could Maybe you could get a different job too. You're
40:49
Speaker 1: rolling in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin,
