1:37
Speaker 4: Drew, Billy and Arman bring it to you from headquarters.
1:40
Speaker 4: We are going to have some fun today. We have
1:41
Speaker 4: fun just about every day. As we're getting close to
1:44
Speaker 4: the back end of our third week as a program,
1:48
Speaker 4: the program that starts at five am with you early risers,
1:51
Speaker 4: or as I like to call them, the people outside,
1:53
Speaker 4: the y sociopaths.
1:54
Speaker 1: The sickos waiting to get to him.
1:57
Speaker 4: That sees the day people. The mark is, that's right,
2:01
Speaker 4: the inspiration. We are here before the roosters are awake
2:05
Speaker 4: on this Thursday in the good.
2:06
Speaker 1: Land, and Yannis is still a buck. Bet you didn't
2:11
Speaker 1: think I have a rouster ready? I didn't think ready.
2:13
Speaker 4: I didn't think this boy Arman producing also as always,
2:18
Speaker 4: it's a big.
2:19
Speaker 1: Day we're sweating this thing out. You know, every everybody
2:23
Speaker 1: in this city, everybody in.
2:24
Speaker 2: This southeastern Wisconsin, in Wisconsin and everywhere in the state
2:27
Speaker 2: has proven to Gannus we're still worthy today.
2:29
Speaker 1: Comona, well you like that.
2:31
Speaker 4: Jazarski is going to join us at seven point thirty
2:33
Speaker 4: to talk about this. We will know officially after two o'clock,
2:35
Speaker 4: which is the actual NBA trade deadline. But the fact
2:38
Speaker 4: that the Warriors, who had by far the best offer
2:41
Speaker 4: the bests away from the box, uh, the fact that
2:44
Speaker 4: they dumped kaminga of somebody else means that they've given
2:48
Speaker 4: up the Bucks of They're done being ghosted by the
2:51
Speaker 4: Bucks in these talks, and that it is exceedingly likely
2:55
Speaker 4: that Giannis will remain a Buck. And then we just
2:59
Speaker 4: had Groundhog Day to start the week.
3:01
Speaker 1: Then we get to go through it all again in
3:02
Speaker 1: the summer.
3:03
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I think then it'll start up
3:04
Speaker 3: right around the All Star break. Drew and everybody play
3:07
Speaker 3: sits around, hanging out together, and the attack Kumbo's are
3:10
Speaker 3: seen at dinner with I don't know, Oh my goodness,
3:13
Speaker 3: I'm and Thompson from the Houston Rockets. That's exactly where
3:15
Speaker 3: he's going to be demanding a trade to so do'll
3:18
Speaker 3: flare right back up. But now we are going on
3:20
Speaker 3: a full almost thirty six hours, Drew, And where is
3:24
Speaker 3: your regurgitation reporting on the reporting that was actually done
3:30
Speaker 3: and speaking to the actual individual like Jim Ozarski's piece,
3:33
Speaker 3: like Eric names yesterday as well, not a shudder of
3:37
Speaker 3: a mention from the Four Letter Network. Nope, of the
3:40
Speaker 3: words that came directly from the man's mouth twice twice
3:45
Speaker 3: in the span of twenty four hours, not one mention
3:47
Speaker 3: of it, to the point where Shams hasn't had a
3:49
Speaker 3: story about it outside of saying, well, you know, if
3:52
Speaker 3: the Bucks just want to or get off the pot,
3:55
Speaker 3: they could take the Warriors off or apparently they made
3:57
Speaker 3: it pretty clear they're not doing.
3:58
Speaker 1: That last night.
3:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, even in the reaction to the Warriors trade like
4:03
Speaker 4: they're just think trade deadline is eight hours and fifty
4:06
Speaker 4: five minutes away. And again, meanwhile, back here among the
4:12
Speaker 4: tired strip club ads, the Bucks went to overtime and
4:15
Speaker 4: beat a bad Pelicans team.
4:16
Speaker 1: But the Bucks are a bad team.
4:18
Speaker 4: So for them to beat a bad team, that's no
4:20
Speaker 4: small thing. They've won three in a row.
4:21
Speaker 3: Right, you listen and you wanted to get under I
4:24
Speaker 3: would like to not be a under ten games of
4:27
Speaker 3: under five hundred basketball to be nice, we win one tomorrow, right,
4:32
Speaker 3: that's all a winning streak.
4:34
Speaker 1: It has happened before.
4:36
Speaker 3: It has before now not this year, necessarily without the
4:38
Speaker 3: big fella in the middle, however, proving to some of
4:42
Speaker 3: these young players that they can win a couple of games. Now,
4:44
Speaker 3: granted it's against the likes of Trey Murphy, who's a
4:46
Speaker 3: nice ballplayer.
4:47
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna joke as a star.
4:50
Speaker 3: To be able to win three in a row will
4:52
Speaker 3: feel at least nice.
4:53
Speaker 4: And it was nice to se Kevin Porter Junior back
4:55
Speaker 4: on the floor yesterday. I say this flippant land, I
4:57
Speaker 4: know the answer. But what record would the Pelicans have
4:59
Speaker 4: in the Big East? They would win it, they would win.
5:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, they will use here well, I don't know. It's
5:07
Speaker 2: not getting enough quaterm one opportunities.
5:08
Speaker 1: That's all here. They are totally different.
5:12
Speaker 5: Uh.
5:12
Speaker 4: The Warriors pivoted yesterday trading Buddy Heeled and Jonathan Kaminga
5:17
Speaker 4: to Atlanta for Kristaps porzingis the guy that they've always wanted,
5:20
Speaker 4: the guy that Bucks liked a lot of teams a
5:22
Speaker 4: lot of teams him for a while the years, right,
5:25
Speaker 4: So that is their move and oh they have by
5:29
Speaker 4: far the best package and the whole Stephen Joannison, Yeah, please.
5:34
Speaker 1: Agree with that.
5:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it was a true admission yesterday Drew that
5:37
Speaker 3: I don't think this was ever any bit close to
5:40
Speaker 3: being done or the manufacturing of how good the potential
5:44
Speaker 3: offers could be. Like, there's the thought that a lot
5:46
Speaker 3: of these guys are young, up and coming players that
5:48
Speaker 3: you don't know a whole lot about. Like Jayden McDaniels
5:50
Speaker 3: in Minnesota's a very nice player, no doubt about it,
5:53
Speaker 3: but he's like twenty four to twenty five years old.
5:55
Speaker 3: He's not a full finished product. But you've got a
5:57
Speaker 3: pretty clear indication.
5:58
Speaker 1: Of who that is.
6:00
Speaker 3: It's not the young lottery ticket guys like a centerpiece
6:03
Speaker 3: of Shay that you would be thinking you're getting in this.
6:07
Speaker 1: They're somewhat proven players that.
6:09
Speaker 3: They're discussing as blue chip guys that the Bucks should
6:11
Speaker 3: just be taking in this.
6:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh of course negotiations.
6:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's like a revolting notion that we should
6:17
Speaker 2: just this is one of the most important decisions in
6:19
Speaker 2: franchise history. Well, the fact that we should just take
6:21
Speaker 2: whatever's there just to get it done is like, oh, well,
6:23
Speaker 2: why don't you just take this offer?
6:25
Speaker 1: Why don't you just do it? Like, what are you
6:26
Speaker 1: talking about?
6:27
Speaker 4: I think Giannis thinks when he watches Ryan Rollins and
6:31
Speaker 4: his ascension is I don't know if he'll get it,
6:33
Speaker 4: but he's Is he not the league's most improved player?
6:35
Speaker 1: He should be in the conversation.
6:37
Speaker 4: Top go from like nothing, I barely getting minutes to
6:40
Speaker 4: a guy who legit puts up twenty.
6:42
Speaker 1: Five against people.
6:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, and a twenty a game name of your night, Yeah,
6:45
Speaker 3: I mean it's that is Uh.
6:48
Speaker 4: Now there's a piece, whether he's in the mix with
6:51
Speaker 4: Giannis or if they can trade him for other pieces
6:53
Speaker 4: or whatever. With the Bucks are going to get an
6:56
Speaker 4: infusion of younger players, which they've needed for a long
6:58
Speaker 4: time with the draft, right, yes.
7:01
Speaker 3: And hopefully better direction right Like is that fair to say?
7:04
Speaker 3: Like and Drew, I think that's the one part. Like
7:07
Speaker 3: when you've watched and I thought you heard in the
7:09
Speaker 3: words that Yannas said to Jim and Eric over the
7:13
Speaker 3: last day of like I want it to work here.
7:17
Speaker 3: I just have to see that we know where we're
7:20
Speaker 3: going and how we're supposed to win, And it seems
7:23
Speaker 3: like that was the clear indication of we need to
7:26
Speaker 3: figure out of these guys how we direct them to
7:29
Speaker 3: get me the dang basketball so I don't have eleven
7:33
Speaker 3: shots to night and I'm not having to get frustrated
7:35
Speaker 3: after the game. And that seemed to be a little
7:37
Speaker 3: bit of the disconnect because think Le Brown's a good player,
7:39
Speaker 3: no doubt, but there does need to be some clear direction.
7:41
Speaker 3: It felt like that was, Hey, we have a couple
7:44
Speaker 3: of chances, but one of which and the only one
7:47
Speaker 3: that has let that would lead to some competitiveness here
7:51
Speaker 3: in Milwaukee, means new direction on the bench because there's
7:54
Speaker 3: a lot of questions every single night as to what
7:56
Speaker 3: they're doing.
7:57
Speaker 1: That's very true.
7:58
Speaker 4: Eight seven seven seven nine through you early birds want
8:00
Speaker 4: to hit us up. We are streaming alive on Facebook
8:04
Speaker 4: X and of course the YouTube's and uh yeah, Radier
8:07
Speaker 4: roll Ozarski joins us seven thirty special surprise guests.
8:11
Speaker 1: At seven o'clock.
8:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have tickets to see uh Tim McGraw on
8:17
Speaker 4: the Pawn Shop Guitar Tour.
8:19
Speaker 1: Today. We're gonna have some fun. We're gonna talk a
8:20
Speaker 1: little super Bowl.
8:22
Speaker 4: The Jana stuff has no I wouldn't say knocked that locally,
8:25
Speaker 4: it's knocked the Super Bowl.
8:26
Speaker 1: Not that the Super Bowl be front page news anyway.
8:29
Speaker 4: It's like people kind of check out when the Packers
8:31
Speaker 4: are out of it, we'll watch it. Interesting development in
8:34
Speaker 4: the National Football League outside of the Super Bowl in Philadelphia,
8:38
Speaker 4: the Packers key competition for Jonathan Gannon. They've just decided no,
8:42
Speaker 4: Vic Fangio is not going to retire and he's going
8:44
Speaker 4: to come back and coordinate the defense. And they weren't
8:46
Speaker 4: going to hire Jonathan Gannon because we got Fangio.
8:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one we're staying.
8:50
Speaker 3: And then uh Stoutman, the longtime offensive line coach, leaving
8:55
Speaker 3: when Sean Manion of the Packers comes in to take
8:57
Speaker 3: the offensive or the offensive coordinator job.
9:00
Speaker 1: In a miss smash there as to who's gonna be
9:02
Speaker 1: coming and who's gonna be going.
9:03
Speaker 3: And now again, offensive linemen rarely get to seal headlines.
9:08
Speaker 3: But Drew uh Stoutman, the offensive line coach for Philadelphia,
9:11
Speaker 3: I think now becomes the most attractive and coveted assistant
9:15
Speaker 3: in football because if one of those two is gonna leave,
9:20
Speaker 3: that guy was going to be the most in demand
9:22
Speaker 3: dude in the NFL. He's this year's rich Besatia. There's
9:25
Speaker 3: always one demand assistant, right, who got a big vote
9:28
Speaker 3: of confidence yesterday? Yeah, and well that's the other thing.
9:30
Speaker 3: We did get a goody press sarch to through which
9:33
Speaker 3: we will do. Yeah, as we move forward.
9:35
Speaker 4: But the Giannis news and at the risk of again
9:39
Speaker 4: tearing a labor and patting ourselves on the back, we
9:41
Speaker 4: were on this.
9:42
Speaker 1: We just the vibes were the bucks will wait.
9:44
Speaker 4: It has to be in the summer because a trade
9:46
Speaker 4: of this magnitude pulling it off on the fly and
9:48
Speaker 4: a one for one team swap, this wasn't gonna happen
9:52
Speaker 4: because no one had the right amount of assets that
9:55
Speaker 4: even first of all, you can't put a value on you, honest,
9:58
Speaker 4: what he means to this city in the fact break
10:00
Speaker 4: of the franchise and the whole culture here. But you
10:04
Speaker 4: have to come close, and you have to And when
10:06
Speaker 4: you saw what recent deals have looked like, and then
10:09
Speaker 4: you saw what was on the menu, it's like it's
10:13
Speaker 4: a little bit like we our body. Adam pop Block
10:15
Speaker 4: always talks about these great meals he's having in the
10:17
Speaker 4: great year. It's like you see somebody else having a
10:20
Speaker 4: five star dinner, you know, seven courses created by a chef,
10:23
Speaker 4: and then you're like at this buffet and it's basically
10:25
Speaker 4: an upgraded Sizzler.
10:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, these two things aren't alike. This is
10:31
Speaker 1: not what I say up for.
10:32
Speaker 3: This is supposed to be my turn to cash and
10:34
Speaker 3: this is supposed to be my turn to get the
10:35
Speaker 3: big hole. Yes, and so they'll they'll wait and we'll
10:38
Speaker 3: go through this dance again next year, and the Bucks
10:40
Speaker 3: will do what they've done throughout the last what seven years,
10:44
Speaker 3: is try to show Yannis that we're doing everything we can,
10:48
Speaker 3: and we try to.
10:49
Speaker 4: So Lauris has to pull another rabbit out of the hat.
10:51
Speaker 4: He has to pull another Dame out of the hat,
10:53
Speaker 4: done to show y Honess that we are indeed worthy
10:57
Speaker 4: of your services.
10:58
Speaker 3: Well, and the interesting thing is Drew. For the last
11:01
Speaker 3: three years they have been really hamstrung as to what
11:04
Speaker 3: they're gonna be able to do in free agency, and
11:07
Speaker 3: in the offseason they had to do a historic waving
11:11
Speaker 3: and stretching of the largest contract taken onto the books
11:14
Speaker 3: in NBA history with Dame last year because they had
11:17
Speaker 3: no flexibility whatsoever. This year, they're gonna have a potentially
11:20
Speaker 3: top ten pick, if not higher. Wherever the pick goes,
11:24
Speaker 3: they get the worse of the Pelicans and Bucks pick.
11:27
Speaker 3: And however the ping pong balls bounce, maybe it'll be
11:29
Speaker 3: the first time in NBA history there's zero ping pong
11:31
Speaker 3: balls in there for a team. And they just forced
11:33
Speaker 3: the Bucks back to fourteen.
11:35
Speaker 1: And that's the only.
11:36
Speaker 3: Way that they're then able to maneuver him out of Milwaukee.
11:39
Speaker 3: But they should have an asset there. They should have
11:42
Speaker 3: a couple of different tradable assets and potentially using something
11:46
Speaker 3: at the deadline. I would not be surprised if the
11:48
Speaker 3: Bucks move off of maybe a portis.
11:51
Speaker 1: I know he's been hurt the last couple of nights.
11:52
Speaker 3: That could be tough if you're able to grab a
11:54
Speaker 3: couple of second round picks and grab more flexibility whatever
11:57
Speaker 3: Miles Turner availability would be around n I don't know
12:00
Speaker 3: that his equity is all that high and low moment
12:04
Speaker 3: be selling low. But they're gonna have like twenty million
12:07
Speaker 3: dollars in salary cap as well to play with in
12:10
Speaker 3: free agency, not just mid level exceptions here.
12:14
Speaker 1: They're gonna be able to do some things.
12:16
Speaker 3: And that's where it might not be and this would
12:20
Speaker 3: be a pivot from the ways that they've gone kind
12:23
Speaker 3: of all.
12:23
Speaker 1: In quote unquote arment in the.
12:25
Speaker 3: Past, where they just say we'll go and grab star
12:29
Speaker 3: and play here. And if you actually might be able
12:31
Speaker 3: to grab three or four legit rotational pieces.
12:34
Speaker 1: And have a team to build around to Yeah, and.
12:37
Speaker 2: As we approach the deadline, there's gonna be a lot
12:39
Speaker 2: of questions. And we're assuming now the honest won't get moved.
12:42
Speaker 2: It still could happen, but I don't think it will either.
12:44
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see what the what the narrative starts
12:47
Speaker 2: to become about the Bucks, And it seemed like there
12:49
Speaker 2: was a little bit of that yesterday with the Warriors saying,
12:52
Speaker 2: you know, they're they're moving on because they don't ever
12:54
Speaker 2: believe the Bucks were serious about trading them and that's
12:56
Speaker 2: gonna be the next thing.
12:57
Speaker 1: It's and and I wonder how much they word too.
13:00
Speaker 2: I think the Bucks it's not that they're not serious,
13:02
Speaker 2: but I think they they determine their value to be
13:04
Speaker 2: pretty high and they don't want to move off of
13:06
Speaker 2: that if there was going to be an offer. But
13:09
Speaker 2: I do think it is interesting because if it was
13:11
Speaker 2: a situation where you know, we're finally the bell of
13:15
Speaker 2: the ball and everyone has to give up. We're making
13:17
Speaker 2: all these girls wait to see if they want to
13:18
Speaker 2: come to the dangelis. I do kind of enjoy the
13:20
Speaker 2: horses doing. That's all these things spoken like a true.
13:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know you. You you can keep trying.
13:26
Speaker 1: Why don't you keep texting?
13:26
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll turn your text like you know, because like
13:29
Speaker 2: for once like that might be wanted.
13:31
Speaker 1: Only chance to be that person is Milwaukee.
13:33
Speaker 4: So this is so again groundhog Day. We're gonna go
13:36
Speaker 4: through all this again in the summer. Poor Jimmy's gonna
13:40
Speaker 4: join us and his uh the summer of gym.
13:43
Speaker 1: It won't stop. He'll be hot summer.
13:46
Speaker 4: He'll be uh monitoring texts like you know how Schefter
13:49
Speaker 4: and those guys. I can barely take a shower because
13:51
Speaker 4: I have to keep texting all these executives.
13:53
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a parking lot and pull over.
13:55
Speaker 4: Jimmy's going to be like, you know, looking at his
13:57
Speaker 4: his five iron and trying to gauge if they.
14:01
Speaker 1: Here, what's the wind doing? And then it's like, oh wait, I.
14:03
Speaker 3: Left the GPS on the on the Apple watch and
14:06
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, it'll buzz through with it.
14:07
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, man, that has.
14:09
Speaker 2: Formed the shower Billy just doesn't like that, you know,
14:13
Speaker 2: that has formed the.
14:13
Speaker 1: Shower fagas the fake hustle of all.
14:16
Speaker 4: Now at the risk though, I don't, I'm not going
14:18
Speaker 4: to defend Shams and Windy and the insiders Sam making
14:23
Speaker 4: those guys.
14:23
Speaker 1: They do what they do, right, they get paid to tweet.
14:26
Speaker 3: They definitely wouldn't shame Sam. He's the only one that
14:28
Speaker 3: has ever talked to him.
14:29
Speaker 1: That's a point. I wasna, that's true, the one guy.
14:32
Speaker 4: But they have to shovel coal into the furnace and
14:36
Speaker 4: they get their stuff because the bucks are pretty buttoned up,
14:39
Speaker 4: the bucks and the.
14:39
Speaker 1: Packers pretty buttoned up, right.
14:42
Speaker 4: And what's great about this is for all these guys
14:45
Speaker 4: and all the money they make, all these deals that
14:47
Speaker 4: have popped, were any of them forecast? Were any of
14:51
Speaker 4: them foreshadowed, or was there any inkling of talks.
14:53
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna mention that Champs didn't have anything on
14:55
Speaker 2: any of these guys. I'm not here to rip on
14:58
Speaker 2: a guy that's obviously going to be more us one
15:00
Speaker 2: ever will be. But it did seem like at least well,
15:03
Speaker 2: I'm definitely what was he doing with that? But I
15:10
Speaker 2: don't remember now, like is this vision's history.
15:13
Speaker 1: Woes and wolveh have it.
15:14
Speaker 2: But it seems like a lot of these came out
15:16
Speaker 2: of nowhere and shams didn't have it, So what what
15:18
Speaker 2: is the deal?
15:19
Speaker 1: Is he actually getting the info or the.
15:20
Speaker 4: Right and that's the thing. But then but he's also
15:24
Speaker 4: again in the breach of information. You're looking for stuff,
15:26
Speaker 4: you're making you're calling everybody when you're chasing a big
15:28
Speaker 4: story like this, you call everybody you can think who
15:31
Speaker 4: has any connection to or may have talked to somebody
15:34
Speaker 4: or cross paths. And he's mostly talking to the other side.
15:38
Speaker 4: He's talking to the gms of the other side who
15:41
Speaker 4: they were frustrated to. And that whole thing about the Bucks,
15:44
Speaker 4: are you know, counter offering, Like were they or balking
15:48
Speaker 4: at offers? Exactly were they actually countering where their active
15:52
Speaker 4: negotiations are seems to me the Buck stance was we
15:54
Speaker 4: don't want.
15:55
Speaker 3: To trade honest, or you have to or you have
15:57
Speaker 3: to really blow us away with something. Yeah, which they
16:00
Speaker 3: and again open to offers just like us, just like
16:03
Speaker 3: me with my house. It's not for sales not on
16:04
Speaker 3: the market. But you knock on the door and offer
16:07
Speaker 3: me three million, I'm going.
16:08
Speaker 1: To talk to you well.
16:09
Speaker 3: And Drew does a counter offer with the Minnesota Timberwolves
16:12
Speaker 3: include Hey, we're really interested and be honest, we're really
16:13
Speaker 3: interested in Anthony Edwards?
16:15
Speaker 1: What about one? About that? Is that a counteroffer? Does
16:17
Speaker 1: I mean like that? Gef? Why?
16:19
Speaker 3: Yeah?
16:20
Speaker 1: Right?
16:20
Speaker 3: In a nicer way of putting it, I just you
16:23
Speaker 3: see too much of these conversations. And I do appreciate
16:26
Speaker 3: the work that Shams and all these guys do, I
16:29
Speaker 3: really do. Uh, But like when when you see somebody,
16:32
Speaker 3: uh just completely ignore the words that are coming from
16:38
Speaker 3: the individual that that's what it is.
16:41
Speaker 1: But that's hard.
16:42
Speaker 3: Again, I don't want to actually blame him, Drew, because
16:45
Speaker 3: it's I don't believe you as a reporter somebody that's
16:48
Speaker 3: putting himself out there and his reputation on the line
16:51
Speaker 3: would just blanketly like want to ignore the facts. You
16:54
Speaker 3: would think that that's some kind of an edict from
16:57
Speaker 3: somewhere to say we're not.
16:59
Speaker 1: Discussing this part of it. Yeah we do. Now we're
17:02
Speaker 1: looking at it from this side.
17:03
Speaker 4: Did you happen to see Dan LeBatard screed Arman go
17:06
Speaker 4: to Lebatard's side x feed. LeBatard gave it from the
17:10
Speaker 4: other side, a conspiracy theory from the other view, which
17:15
Speaker 4: was interesting. I thought it was a little bit like,
17:17
Speaker 4: you know, a comical but you.
17:20
Speaker 3: Gotta the NBA media for corruption. Yes, yep, I got
17:24
Speaker 3: it here, all right, Billy's got it. This is what
17:25
Speaker 3: you're talking for a Yeah, let's Billy be.
17:29
Speaker 6: Around Yannis and the trade packages for him feels entirely corrupt.
17:35
Speaker 1: The national NBA media is spewing.
17:38
Speaker 6: Out of both sides of their mouth, and they're trying
17:40
Speaker 6: to manipulate the public opinion for their own benefit. The
17:44
Speaker 6: obvious best offer comes from Miami. It's built around a
17:48
Speaker 6: twenty five year old All Star guard, a twenty one
17:51
Speaker 6: year old and seven foot tall do it all freak
17:54
Speaker 6: of nature, and khalil Ware has several picks, including available
17:59
Speaker 6: pick options that the national media conveniently leaves out. But
18:04
Speaker 6: that doesn't fit what would be easiest for the national media. Sure,
18:08
Speaker 6: they might want to come to Miami for vacation more
18:11
Speaker 6: than Minnesota, but their laziness makes it easier to say, Oh,
18:15
Speaker 6: here's Giannis and Steph and oh here's Giannis and Anthony Edwards.
18:19
Speaker 6: They're forcing their narratives without even including the team with
18:23
Speaker 6: the clearly best offer. And they're doing it specifically because
18:27
Speaker 6: pat Riley and the Miami Heat know that real g's
18:31
Speaker 6: move in silence like Lasagna.
18:34
Speaker 1: Like that line.
18:37
Speaker 5: Is a hostage video. It was AI at first, like
18:46
Speaker 5: moving silence? Isn't that Wayne's Wayne?
18:51
Speaker 1: Thanks? Yeah? I mean, this is a stretch, isn't it
18:53
Speaker 1: to say that?
18:54
Speaker 2: Why why would they anti? Miami is a sexy market
18:59
Speaker 2: as it gets. I get you think that they're that
19:01
Speaker 2: the whole NBA is sitting around saying we got to
19:03
Speaker 2: really push them.
19:04
Speaker 1: Minnesota thing. This thing is that it's jealousy.
19:07
Speaker 4: He went on to say it's because of jealousy over
19:09
Speaker 4: the Big Three, and that they're that they're still mad
19:12
Speaker 4: about the I.
19:13
Speaker 3: Don't know that anybody's mad about it, very homes.
19:19
Speaker 1: That's their view.
19:21
Speaker 4: Our view is always these these national incenters are full
19:23
Speaker 4: of crap. But they're just doing what they're You're only
19:26
Speaker 4: as a reporter, You're only as good as the information
19:29
Speaker 4: you get, right, and they're getting stuff from the other gms.
19:33
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I don't accept this premise.
19:35
Speaker 2: That they're obviously, without a doubt, the best offer too.
19:38
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess I saw Terry Rose ear That's
19:40
Speaker 2: what I saw. That's the offer I saw.
19:42
Speaker 3: From some of the I saw us saying that you
19:44
Speaker 3: would need to see Tyler where multiple first.
19:48
Speaker 2: That's that's the other thing you just said, how do
19:49
Speaker 2: we know what the real offers are?
19:51
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, And I also drew like this
19:54
Speaker 3: is where I've always struggled with it, And I wonder
19:58
Speaker 3: how much continues to get worse as more and more
20:02
Speaker 3: conversation is demanded about sports, like we need to have
20:05
Speaker 3: more fuel and more coal, But like so much of
20:10
Speaker 3: it is just speculation, almost blanketed in question or in reporting,
20:15
Speaker 3: Like there's so much speculation of it that's ended up
20:19
Speaker 3: more on television than what used to be in printed
20:22
Speaker 3: writing and verifying multiple sources.
20:24
Speaker 4: All right, So when we come back, I will tell
20:26
Speaker 4: you an anecdote that kind of illustrates what happens and
20:30
Speaker 4: the way the sausage is made now, way.
20:33
Speaker 1: The stuff churns. And this was again, this was a
20:36
Speaker 1: generation go.
20:37
Speaker 4: Most of my reporting days were like kind of pre social,
20:41
Speaker 4: like pre the churn and pre like what you have.
20:44
Speaker 1: Now, like X was existed, but it wasn't what it is.
20:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, back when you back when you wanted to be
20:51
Speaker 3: the race to be right and the race to be
20:54
Speaker 3: first exactly.
20:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, you were looking for both, like you wanted both.
20:59
Speaker 4: But if you aren't one hundred percent sure you you
21:02
Speaker 4: know there were ways to couch things.
21:04
Speaker 1: But now there's no couching. It's like you hear one thing.
21:07
Speaker 3: And you go with it and throw a splice a
21:09
Speaker 3: little all there exaggeration. Hey, I'm excited about that trade
21:13
Speaker 3: demand that's already on the table from Wendy standards have
21:16
Speaker 3: already been with that one standards.
21:19
Speaker 1: There's a yeah, definitely that's there. But I'll tell you how.
21:23
Speaker 4: I'll tell you my my own personal observation of the
21:26
Speaker 4: way some of this stuff goes on.
21:27
Speaker 1: Right, I'm very interested to see what you have to
21:29
Speaker 1: say here about this.
21:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, we got that on the docket. We'll talk
21:33
Speaker 4: about Gooty's press or some interesting things out of that.
21:37
Speaker 4: I guess Michae Leffleur had Jeff Hafley type uh feeling
21:41
Speaker 4: with Arizona fans. Cardinals are bad, No, Cardinals are bad,
21:45
Speaker 4: but their fans are like, h this guy Will will
21:47
Speaker 4: give him a chance, Like he won the presser.
21:49
Speaker 1: He's not half bad.
21:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, he won the presser, and he well he comes
21:52
Speaker 4: from a good lineage. We'll see you like they're giving.
21:54
Speaker 4: They were like, we got this guy, and now they're like, oh,
21:56
Speaker 4: well this might work.
21:58
Speaker 3: He also was able to talk a little bit different
21:59
Speaker 3: than his brother was no doubt.
22:03
Speaker 1: We got lots of lots of store for you.
22:05
Speaker 4: The Thursday edition, Friday Junior, it's super Bowl week. We
22:09
Speaker 4: got to talk about that game and more importantly for us,
22:12
Speaker 4: the food super.
22:13
Speaker 3: Bowl food finalizing, the Men's Super Bowl of Snacks.
22:17
Speaker 4: We got all that on the docket for you. It's
22:19
Speaker 4: your favorite little plucky morning show.
22:22
Speaker 1: It's the Huddle. I'm Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
22:25
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin nine to twenty, Milwaukee, ten seventy
22:29
Speaker 4: in Madison, and of course streaming live on the Facebook,
22:33
Speaker 4: the X and the YouTube's.
22:35
Speaker 1: We've already got people joining us.
22:37
Speaker 3: Glad you're with us, waking up early with us, got
22:39
Speaker 3: us on the peloton. Now, I know that we're probably
22:41
Speaker 3: not as motivating Drew as potentially some.
22:43
Speaker 1: Of the coaches, but maybe we could add that in as.
22:47
Speaker 3: If that wants to be you know, the Princeton Club
22:49
Speaker 3: sponsor here, we could give you what love that a
22:52
Speaker 3: ninety second?
22:54
Speaker 1: A pump up, A good pump up. That's a good one.
22:57
Speaker 3: I thought there were a lot of ways that I
23:00
Speaker 3: was gonna go there, write a crescendo, a climax.
23:03
Speaker 1: That's definitely not We're we're going with.
23:04
Speaker 3: What we're doing is we want you to get ramped up,
23:07
Speaker 3: ready to roll, so then you can finish off the
23:09
Speaker 3: last twenty workout.
23:11
Speaker 1: I told Billy this morning.
23:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I keep seeing, you know, all these reels
23:16
Speaker 2: on the Internet of people like living you know, get
23:18
Speaker 2: up with me in the morning and watch me, you know,
23:20
Speaker 2: But for some reason they work and I can't stop
23:22
Speaker 2: watch you know, why don't.
23:24
Speaker 1: Why aren't we doing this? We get up in the
23:25
Speaker 1: middle of the night, anyway, we should be doing this right.
23:27
Speaker 1: The problem is you watch it twice. That's why it
23:29
Speaker 1: goes back into the algorithm.
23:31
Speaker 2: Well in all the rolls, Okay, I don't do it
23:33
Speaker 2: on purpose, but it roll rolls, alright, it rolls, wow,
23:37
Speaker 2: all right?
23:37
Speaker 4: Eight seven seven seven four one three nicolay law dot
23:40
Speaker 4: Com talk and text line Yannis is still a buck.
23:43
Speaker 4: Deadline is approaching two o'clock we think he's still gonna
23:46
Speaker 4: be a Buck, even though Levatard thinks he should go
23:48
Speaker 4: to Miami.
23:49
Speaker 3: At this point, I'd be floored, Drew, I'd be stunned
23:51
Speaker 3: if you know that stuff does happen.
23:54
Speaker 4: I'd also put you know, maybe it's fifty to fifty
23:56
Speaker 4: that he's trade in the summer.
23:58
Speaker 1: Yes, I still believe it.
24:00
Speaker 3: So it's I have said that the Bucks do get
24:03
Speaker 3: three cracks at this They get until two o'clock today,
24:05
Speaker 3: They've got the summer, and then they got mid season next.
24:08
Speaker 4: Year, deadline next year to see what they could get.
24:10
Speaker 4: I'll say, talk him in because he is under contract.
24:13
Speaker 4: Right so, but anyway, the way the churn, and I'll
24:17
Speaker 4: take you guys back in the way back machine again
24:20
Speaker 4: pre Twitter era. I'll go back twenty five years ago, God,
24:23
Speaker 4: twenty five years. If I'm standing at the World Series,
24:27
Speaker 4: I'm in the playoffs, I'm covering the playff.
24:29
Speaker 1: I went to the playoffs ey year. The Brewers were
24:31
Speaker 1: just never there. They just never. I joined you because
24:34
Speaker 1: that was back.
24:34
Speaker 4: When newspapers had money and they would send me and
24:36
Speaker 4: I'm writing for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and I'm at
24:39
Speaker 4: the NLCS, and I would go to one LCS and
24:42
Speaker 4: Hardercourt would go to the other, and then we both
24:44
Speaker 4: join up at the World Series.
24:46
Speaker 1: What good times I covered?
24:47
Speaker 4: There was times like when they started the Wild Car stuff,
24:49
Speaker 4: I covered every round.
24:50
Speaker 1: I would be remember I covered the entire I spent
24:53
Speaker 1: all of October on the road, never had a home game.
24:56
Speaker 2: And then once World Series starts, you got you in
24:58
Speaker 2: talents each other.
24:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, we would and we'd hang out and so I
25:02
Speaker 4: would cover one series, he would cover the other. And
25:04
Speaker 4: you're standing there and if your team's not in it,
25:06
Speaker 4: it's the greatest gig in the world because you're just
25:09
Speaker 4: you're covering the series. You're writing game stories and you
25:11
Speaker 4: are mining for information and you're asking people and talking
25:14
Speaker 4: to the other writers and stuff. And let's just say
25:18
Speaker 4: what the Yankees were always in it at the time,
25:20
Speaker 4: But whoever the team was, let's say it the Mets.
25:23
Speaker 1: The met Mets.
25:24
Speaker 4: So at the time, the Brewers studs were like Sexon
25:27
Speaker 4: and Jenkins. Let's say the Mets needed a first basement,
25:31
Speaker 4: like they're looking for a first base, And someone would
25:33
Speaker 4: come to me around the cage and go, hey, Mets
25:35
Speaker 4: are looking for a first basement. This winner what would
25:38
Speaker 4: the what would take for the Brewers to move Richie Sexon.
25:40
Speaker 4: I'm like, well, he's kind of the star of the team.
25:42
Speaker 4: He hit forty five bombs, Like it would take a
25:45
Speaker 4: lot kind of their guy. He's kind of their guy.
25:47
Speaker 4: But he's coming up where it was kind of the
25:49
Speaker 4: situation where his contract will be up in a year
25:50
Speaker 4: or two and they won't be able to afford him.
25:52
Speaker 1: So they'll probably move him, but maybe not this year,
25:54
Speaker 1: but it would take.
25:56
Speaker 4: You know, the Mets, they got this rookie pitcher who
25:59
Speaker 4: looks like he's going to be really good. He came
26:01
Speaker 4: up last year, and you know, they got this Billy
26:03
Speaker 4: Schmid guy. And I would say that they would start there.
26:06
Speaker 4: They need they need they need a guy who you
26:08
Speaker 4: could kind of, you know, a young, controllable picture who's
26:11
Speaker 4: big league ready. They would need somebody like that, and
26:13
Speaker 4: then they would need a big league ready short stuff
26:17
Speaker 4: like armand Sarian and then like two or three double
26:20
Speaker 4: A guys.
26:21
Speaker 1: So I would say that would.
26:22
Speaker 4: Be like the parameter that I just throw that out
26:23
Speaker 4: there is like that's what it would take. And I'm like,
26:25
Speaker 4: they're not motivated to trade him, right because he sells tickets.
26:29
Speaker 4: He was a popular guy at the time. They're not
26:32
Speaker 4: motivated trading, but that's what it would be. It would
26:33
Speaker 4: be like he'd need Bill Schmid and Arma Sarian and
26:36
Speaker 4: some picks.
26:36
Speaker 1: That's what I killed the.
26:37
Speaker 4: Godfather offer, so I would I would say, so that's
26:40
Speaker 4: what it is.
26:40
Speaker 1: And then you float around and you talk.
26:42
Speaker 4: To other people and the guy that I talked to,
26:44
Speaker 4: whether it was Buster, TJ. Quinn or somebody else, and
26:46
Speaker 4: everybody's just commingling, and then you will cover the game
26:50
Speaker 4: and stuff, and then you go have beers afterwards, and
26:53
Speaker 4: somebody comes up to you and says, hey, I heard
26:55
Speaker 4: the Birds are gonna trade Richie Sexon for Billy Schmid
26:57
Speaker 4: and armand Sary and a couple of prospects. But I
27:00
Speaker 4: think I was the source on that. I don't think
27:02
Speaker 4: that that is not like, no, that's not but in
27:07
Speaker 4: the in the word the game of telephone, as stuff
27:09
Speaker 4: gets moved around in those circles, that's and and that
27:13
Speaker 4: was before you could put stuff like that on social
27:15
Speaker 4: instantly and put it into the world where everybody's just
27:18
Speaker 4: kind of spitballing ideas and stuff like that.
27:20
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what those guys get paid to do.
27:23
Speaker 1: But it's you know, it comes from gym.
27:26
Speaker 4: This was just me at the Batty Cage and I
27:27
Speaker 4: just it was this game of telephone. And over the
27:30
Speaker 4: next two days people would come to me and ask
27:32
Speaker 4: me about this deal that I concocted, whether it was
27:34
Speaker 4: going to happen.
27:35
Speaker 3: Hey man, I heard that, what do you think if
27:37
Speaker 3: we if we spliced in.
27:38
Speaker 1: A Hunter bomber? You think the you think the Rangers.
27:41
Speaker 4: It was like, so it's like, that's how stuff that works.
27:44
Speaker 4: That's how the sausage is coming.
27:45
Speaker 1: Now.
27:46
Speaker 4: When stuff was popping, I had the network of guys
27:50
Speaker 4: I would call my buddies. We had this thing called
27:52
Speaker 4: the Major League Exchange that hardre Kirk got me into.
27:55
Speaker 1: That was a core of guys, sweet blue book. It
27:58
Speaker 1: was a sweet blue book, but it was a core
27:59
Speaker 1: of guys.
27:59
Speaker 4: And there was a reporter in every city that was
28:01
Speaker 4: part of this network, and you worked with that guy,
28:04
Speaker 4: you were loyal to the network of It was called
28:06
Speaker 4: the MLX Major League Exchange, and you had these guys
28:10
Speaker 4: that and they were your pals. And we had this
28:12
Speaker 4: kind of this kind of bulletin board. We would all
28:15
Speaker 4: send our notes. Remember how everybody had a Sunday Notes
28:17
Speaker 4: package and you get stuff from other teams.
28:19
Speaker 1: Well, you would take your best notes.
28:20
Speaker 4: From the week and send it to this guy and
28:21
Speaker 4: he would compile them all and then he would send
28:24
Speaker 4: them out to everybody.
28:25
Speaker 1: And that's how those things were.
28:28
Speaker 4: I wasn't exactly, I wasn't at you know, the Rangers
28:32
Speaker 4: Red Sox game to see this crazy thing that happened
28:34
Speaker 4: and get the quote afterwards. But I got it from
28:36
Speaker 4: my guys and we that's the way stuff like that
28:38
Speaker 4: was compiled.
28:39
Speaker 1: So you worked with those guys. Now, I thought you
28:41
Speaker 1: were a superhero when trades were made.
28:42
Speaker 4: But that's the thing though, But when when trades were
28:45
Speaker 4: made and when stuff was popping, that you would get
28:48
Speaker 4: information from those guys and you.
28:49
Speaker 1: Would build relationship.
28:51
Speaker 4: Well, you had those guys and they would tell as
28:53
Speaker 4: soon as they got off the phone with their GM
28:54
Speaker 4: talking about a trade or something with the Brewers, and
28:56
Speaker 4: they would.
28:56
Speaker 1: Call me and tell me.
28:57
Speaker 4: And then so it was almost like you were you know,
29:00
Speaker 4: you were in this network. You were in this and
29:02
Speaker 4: that's the way stuff happened. And now it's evolved to
29:05
Speaker 4: where guys like Shams and those guys, they have their people,
29:08
Speaker 4: but they also the.
29:09
Speaker 1: Agents now, that's it.
29:11
Speaker 4: Agents are in there forcing and that the agents are
29:13
Speaker 4: more than the gms, and the agents were always part
29:17
Speaker 4: of that mix, but they're more prominent now. And the
29:21
Speaker 4: thing was back in the agents, back in those days
29:23
Speaker 4: when the newspaper was where people went and that was
29:26
Speaker 4: the main source of information, the main avenue. The agents
29:30
Speaker 4: needed you to get messaging out, and they needed you
29:33
Speaker 4: so they would I don't want to say plant stories,
29:36
Speaker 4: but they had to talk to you to get their
29:38
Speaker 4: position out. And sometimes in these negotiations with contracts and stuff,
29:43
Speaker 4: the agents and the teams would communicate through the reporter
29:48
Speaker 4: like they would, you know, the agent, I'd get I'd
29:50
Speaker 4: get a comment from.
29:51
Speaker 1: The from a GM. I'd call the agent, what do
29:53
Speaker 1: you think about this? Well, then there's this.
29:55
Speaker 4: They weren't like talking to each other, but they would
29:56
Speaker 4: talk through me, and then they'd read the stories, and
29:58
Speaker 4: so it was like you were the time jing through
30:00
Speaker 4: on both sides, no doubt about it, exactly. And that's
30:03
Speaker 4: one of the things when we get jim O's Arskawn
30:04
Speaker 4: at seven thirty. The one thing about Giannie is you
30:07
Speaker 4: don't how often do you see Janice's agent quoted anywhere.
30:09
Speaker 1: Never is that feeding stuff to guys? Is he calling shou?
30:12
Speaker 1: I'm saying Giannis wants.
30:13
Speaker 3: Out his name was when there was the report that
30:15
Speaker 3: he was gonna get fired for Rich Paul.
30:17
Speaker 1: I wonder who got that one said, it's my agent talking,
30:21
Speaker 1: not me exactly exactly.
30:23
Speaker 4: But then the thing with Giannis is when he tells Eric,
30:25
Speaker 4: I don't want to be a buck, I want to
30:26
Speaker 4: live here like you, you always have this like sixth
30:29
Speaker 4: sense when you were talking agents, like yeah, they wanted
30:32
Speaker 4: their side to be more prominent, they wanted to make
30:34
Speaker 4: their side look good, and they were.
30:35
Speaker 1: Always you always felt like with baseball.
30:38
Speaker 4: Agents and sometimes a lot of college coaches, you felt
30:40
Speaker 4: you talk to them you were being spun, you were
30:42
Speaker 4: being worked and lied to.
30:44
Speaker 1: You can feel to used car salesman drain.
30:46
Speaker 4: Off exactly when you finished the interview, you hang up
30:49
Speaker 4: the phone and be like I need to take a shout, yes,
30:51
Speaker 4: I need to wash my hands.
30:52
Speaker 1: Yeah.
30:53
Speaker 4: But with Giannis you don't feel that at least I don't.
30:56
Speaker 4: I mean anybody who thinks he's like, uh, he's pr
30:59
Speaker 4: Sava or something like that, or that he's trying to
31:01
Speaker 4: spin Brett Favre the country Bumpkin was always smarter than
31:06
Speaker 4: he was portrayed, and he was I know you came
31:09
Speaker 4: to learn and when even when you were dealing with him,
31:11
Speaker 4: because I was around before I started covering the Brewis,
31:13
Speaker 4: I was in that orbit. He was always smarter than
31:16
Speaker 4: you thought, and there was more measured and more measured,
31:19
Speaker 4: and they were manipulative in a way. But I don't
31:22
Speaker 4: get that vibe with you, honest, I could be totally
31:24
Speaker 4: wrong because I don't deal with the Honis on a
31:26
Speaker 4: daily No, I think those guys, I don't feel like
31:28
Speaker 4: you're being spun.
31:29
Speaker 3: I think he's being very careful with his words though, right,
31:31
Speaker 3: and I think he's given himself and this is that's again, Drew.
31:34
Speaker 3: I think, frankly, that's what you're supposed to do, right.
31:36
Speaker 3: You're supposed to give good advice, and I think they're
31:38
Speaker 3: giving him the good advice of saying, we clearly know
31:41
Speaker 3: what is the most thing, most important thing to you
31:44
Speaker 3: is never having the verbiage out there or the terminology
31:47
Speaker 3: or the image out there that you demanded got to
31:50
Speaker 3: go somewhere else, that you demand it out because you
31:52
Speaker 3: hate the city. No, I hate the basketball situation, and
31:56
Speaker 3: I think he's been very, very open and honest with
31:58
Speaker 3: it and in all of the reporting. I think that's
32:00
Speaker 3: where the question comes from of like the amount of
32:03
Speaker 3: local reporters that are still doing jobs like Jim and Eric,
32:08
Speaker 3: where you're getting the real quotes to then like the
32:11
Speaker 3: most impactful things. I feel like we hear from Shams
32:13
Speaker 3: where you mentioned it, it's either after somebody gives them
32:17
Speaker 3: the clearance of hey, yeah, you can send this out,
32:19
Speaker 3: or like in the NFL when we get into free
32:22
Speaker 3: agencies and Drew which is about a month away, when
32:25
Speaker 3: the contract in the tweet comes out says negotiated by
32:28
Speaker 3: David Mullaghetta and three other agents. You kind of know
32:32
Speaker 3: where you copy and paste of that one from y
32:34
Speaker 3: That's the one that really drives home some frustration and disappointment,
32:38
Speaker 3: and I think.
32:39
Speaker 2: What it offends really quick Bucks fans about that situation
32:42
Speaker 2: with Shams is not necessarily what he's saying, but it's
32:44
Speaker 2: the fact that it's clearly he clearly ignores the quotes
32:47
Speaker 2: we're getting and the work we're getting from the local guys,
32:50
Speaker 2: and it makes it makes us feel it makes some
32:53
Speaker 2: Bucks feel like you're treating us like a fool.
32:55
Speaker 1: Like an idiot.
32:55
Speaker 2: And it's a revolting notion for you to assume that
32:59
Speaker 2: we don't see what's in front of our face, which
33:01
Speaker 2: is quotes that you're totally ignoring. And I think a
33:03
Speaker 2: lot of Bucks fans are revolted by that notion to
33:05
Speaker 2: feel that way.
33:06
Speaker 1: We went through Jim's.
33:07
Speaker 4: Story in depth, and then Eric Name got the call
33:10
Speaker 4: and he put his story out and it's similar quotes,
33:12
Speaker 4: but the quote that jumps.
33:13
Speaker 1: Out from the Eric Name story a little differently is
33:16
Speaker 1: from you, honest.
33:16
Speaker 4: He said, we always go back to the Bucks, the Bucks,
33:19
Speaker 4: the Bucks, and if I'm going to stay here, if
33:20
Speaker 4: I'm not going to stay here, right, let's put the
33:23
Speaker 4: Bucks on the.
33:23
Speaker 1: Side for a second.
33:24
Speaker 4: Let's talk about the city itself, the memories I've created here.
33:27
Speaker 4: When you open my kids passports, it says Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
33:29
Speaker 4: Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I had four kids in the
33:31
Speaker 4: span of the last five years in this city. My
33:33
Speaker 4: dad is buried in the city. I've built a house
33:35
Speaker 4: for my mom ten seconds away from my house. Literally
33:38
Speaker 4: to walk to my mom's front door, it takes me
33:40
Speaker 4: four seconds right next door.
33:41
Speaker 1: On what planet, on what earth? Would someone want to
33:44
Speaker 1: leave this see I love that, and he knows that
33:46
Speaker 1: Bucks fans love that, right, you think? But does he care?
33:49
Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's what I'm saying. It's like,
33:51
Speaker 4: I don't feel like you're being spun. He's a master,
33:54
Speaker 4: But I don't think. I just think he that's the
33:57
Speaker 4: way he feels. I think both are true. I think
33:59
Speaker 4: he knows what the weight of his words meaning.
34:01
Speaker 1: That Bucks fans.
34:02
Speaker 2: But I also believe he's being honest when he says
34:04
Speaker 2: he's being honest.
34:04
Speaker 1: But he's also I mean, let's let's let's let's put
34:08
Speaker 1: this on the table. Like the Bucks are paying the Nasis.
34:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've paid him over almost three hundred million dollars.
34:15
Speaker 1: He's got a brother on the herd. Isn't a good
34:18
Speaker 1: player what he's trying to say.
34:19
Speaker 3: I say, he's aenomenal, phenomenal teuer leader. Now you're absolutely right,
34:23
Speaker 3: right now, they've done more than most of course they have,
34:26
Speaker 3: like in a place if he goes to a new place,
34:28
Speaker 3: are they going to have a jobs program for Alex
34:32
Speaker 3: the Nasis? Yeah, I don't know that that's that part
34:34
Speaker 3: of unemployment. It backs up as well and Drew, I
34:37
Speaker 3: think that the part of it is and there's there's
34:40
Speaker 3: clear point and direction into it, because I don't think
34:43
Speaker 3: with any negative connotation he's trying to spend.
34:47
Speaker 1: This towards Bucks.
34:48
Speaker 3: But I do believe he's wanting it to let it
34:49
Speaker 3: be known as this is where my heart is. And however,
34:53
Speaker 3: we do need to figure out a way to be
34:55
Speaker 3: able to win. And I think he's a lot of
34:58
Speaker 3: things that Bucks.
34:58
Speaker 1: Fans are saying.
34:59
Speaker 4: He loves Mo, he wants to stay, but he also
35:02
Speaker 4: wants to win.
35:03
Speaker 3: And when you think about that, it's pretty cut and dried, right,
35:05
Speaker 3: it's pretty fair.
35:06
Speaker 1: So, yeah, I want to win. I've got five years
35:09
Speaker 1: left at my prime. I want to win another title,
35:11
Speaker 1: at least one more.
35:12
Speaker 3: And that's where you'll and and it'll be a great
35:17
Speaker 3: balancing act. And I'm fascinated to see how the Bucks
35:19
Speaker 3: do it, because when different people's agendas and money is
35:24
Speaker 3: on the table, and different people who don't have the
35:26
Speaker 3: same equity personally with Gianness will say, hey, is it
35:30
Speaker 3: worth us passing up on what could be in the offseason.
35:33
Speaker 1: Much better trade packages?
35:34
Speaker 3: I got to assume than what we're hearing right now,
35:37
Speaker 3: but what could be their own deal? We always talk
35:40
Speaker 3: about guys wanting to hire their own person. Talk about
35:42
Speaker 3: the GM in Green Bay Brian Kudkin's we're going to
35:44
Speaker 3: talk about.
35:44
Speaker 1: That a little bit going forward.
35:46
Speaker 3: That's why the thought of ed policy wanted to move on.
35:47
Speaker 1: Because he would get his own guy in there.
35:49
Speaker 3: It'd be interesting to see if that's where the big
35:52
Speaker 3: powers that be for the Bucks want to get their
35:54
Speaker 3: own Era Bucks basketball or they're like, no, we're gonna
35:58
Speaker 3: do whatever we can to make this to your window everything.
36:03
Speaker 2: And in the meantime, if you do put it off
36:05
Speaker 2: until summer, you always buy yourself time in that possibility
36:08
Speaker 2: that things could organically improve on their own with the team.
36:11
Speaker 2: I know that's a little pie in this guy aftism,
36:13
Speaker 2: but you never know if his team could get better
36:16
Speaker 2: and and start to play better, and then it kind
36:18
Speaker 2: of changes the prison in which you look at Pete Nance.
36:20
Speaker 2: Guy over there, Hume, you know you got last night,
36:23
Speaker 2: Pete Nance. You got guys out there playing sim We're
36:26
Speaker 2: talking about a winning streak now, so we're if you're
36:29
Speaker 2: in the deer again.
36:29
Speaker 1: The Bucks are bad.
36:32
Speaker 4: Bucks energized by the fact that Giannis is going to
36:34
Speaker 4: stay have lifted their level to the point where maybe
36:36
Speaker 4: now that he will see some.
36:37
Speaker 1: Of the vibes that he's looking.
36:38
Speaker 3: As I used to say, you know, enjoy back in
36:41
Speaker 3: a couple of good.
36:41
Speaker 1: Games and my life is going to be different.
36:43
Speaker 3: Now. I'm just happy that Armond's basketball life is much
36:46
Speaker 3: better going into national market.
36:47
Speaker 1: That I mean, we need that, we need some win in.
36:49
Speaker 3: The sales, and you guys need to chill out like
36:52
Speaker 3: unlike last year.
36:53
Speaker 1: Apparently have you seen this story? I don't know much time,
36:55
Speaker 1: my god, too much drinking. We gotta go.
36:59
Speaker 3: We gotta going on in a certain story with a
37:02
Speaker 3: certain parts.
37:03
Speaker 1: What are we the bubble shows?
37:05
Speaker 3: You know, we will take them sweater vests off to
37:09
Speaker 3: see this up. Well, we'll wait then, just because their
37:11
Speaker 3: solution was my favorite.
37:12
Speaker 4: We will tee this up as we move forward, uh,
37:15
Speaker 4: planning to get to that John Zarsky at seven thirty
37:18
Speaker 4: bucks on a little bit of a hitter. It looks
37:19
Speaker 4: like Giannis is gonna say we're gonna talk about goody
37:21
Speaker 4: as we come up in the six o'clock hour as well.
37:24
Speaker 4: It's the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Dellela dot com
37:28
Speaker 4: talking text line.
37:28
Speaker 1: Yanna is still a buck for now for how long?
37:30
Speaker 1: We don't know. Hopefully forever Kim joined us at seven thirty.
37:35
Speaker 3: Will we have any good NBA Sinel rumors today, like
37:42
Speaker 3: will anybody you.
37:43
Speaker 1: Think get got? Will anybody get Sintel to the.
37:45
Speaker 3: Point where you think, like, I don't really know what
37:49
Speaker 3: a blockbuster they did, trade Lebron to Cleveland.
37:52
Speaker 2: I thought some of these moves yesterday I was getting sentel.
37:54
Speaker 2: This has been pretty active. Cintel really worried about a
37:57
Speaker 2: Tigas Jones.
37:58
Speaker 1: That's the problem.
37:59
Speaker 2: I don't think they really care about kolbe White that much.
38:01
Speaker 2: I mean, and that's.
38:03
Speaker 1: What it is.
38:04
Speaker 2: Now. If you're a bullsman, you don't have any centers
38:05
Speaker 2: right now. I have not one player I believe over six'. Nine,
38:08
Speaker 2: yeah well why? NOT i, mean they clearly have a plan.
38:10
Speaker 3: There so, again, like but the thing, IS i like
38:15
Speaker 3: activity at the. Trade, sure it's fun baseball and THE,
38:19
Speaker 3: nba even THE nhl to a, POINT nhl. Work, yeah
38:23
Speaker 3: still still lagging away behind in mid season trades that
38:27
Speaker 3: can juice things, up, Right but the thing is that
38:31
Speaker 3: the juice of THE nba trading deadline and free agency and,
38:35
Speaker 3: stuff it's not enough To it's not a big enough
38:40
Speaker 3: band aid for the problem that is the regular. Sense
38:43
Speaker 3: the problem is the fact that you're just paying attention.
38:45
Speaker 1: Now, well the other part of it Is.
38:47
Speaker 3: Drew they try to capitalize on these two weeks before
38:50
Speaker 3: the Super, bowl which you, should, right this is prime real.
38:52
Speaker 3: Estate that's where. Again but they somehow get in their own,
38:56
Speaker 3: way like The Sunday Night, basketball huge, debut two point
38:59
Speaker 3: one billion dollar operation WITH, nbc and they got five
39:03
Speaker 3: other games on.
39:04
Speaker 1: At the same.
39:05
Speaker 3: Time it's like they're just missing the mark enough to
39:08
Speaker 3: the point where they can get in their own. Way
39:11
Speaker 3: but they've they've gotten at least a little bit of
39:13
Speaker 3: a drumbeat and a little bit of attention here on
39:15
Speaker 3: the week before the Super bowl and leading up and
39:18
Speaker 3: stolen maybe a little bit of. Airtime, however it's just
39:21
Speaker 3: hot air coming from, shams which ends up being a tough.
39:24
Speaker 3: ONE i got one way to make THE nfl trade deadline.
39:27
Speaker 3: Better you move it To, thanksgiving, Right you move it
39:31
Speaker 3: to where there's a gluttony of weeks and potentially this
39:35
Speaker 3: happens with the eighteenth, game where you make it right
39:38
Speaker 3: in front of another window of buys because you have
39:42
Speaker 3: to let these teams know and may you're clearly out
39:45
Speaker 3: of it right when you're four and, six you can
39:48
Speaker 3: still look, instead we're on the. Table we're right in this.
39:50
Speaker 3: Thing just look in THE. MLB i thought it was
39:53
Speaker 3: even better when they had the second waiver, deadline because
39:57
Speaker 3: there were teams that were sitting there On july thirty,
39:59
Speaker 3: first convincing themsel they're in. It On august, THIRTIETH i
40:02
Speaker 3: bet you would get a lot more action and even better.
40:04
Speaker 1: Names going off the.
40:05
Speaker 4: Board giannis's thing To eric name again some of the same,
40:11
Speaker 4: quotes the same vein of the, same but a little bit.
40:13
Speaker 4: Different he did, SAY i want to be, here BUT
40:15
Speaker 4: i want to be here to, win not fighting for
40:17
Speaker 4: my life to make the. Playoffs i'm not used to inconsistent.
40:20
Speaker 4: Basketball i've played so many years of consistent. Basketball i'm
40:23
Speaker 4: not used to it. Anymore during the, GAME i don't
40:25
Speaker 4: know if you can see my, face BUT i get
40:27
Speaker 4: frustrated during the game when the game is going. ON
40:30
Speaker 4: i know there's gonna be times you're gonna. Lose you're
40:32
Speaker 4: not gonna win all the. Games but at the end
40:33
Speaker 4: of the, day it's like how we carry. OURSELVES i
40:36
Speaker 4: see other, teams how they are and how they, play how,
40:38
Speaker 4: connected the chemistry they have and how people are doing
40:40
Speaker 4: the right thing and they're riding for one.
40:42
Speaker 1: ANOTHER i just want. THAT i want that for my.
40:45
Speaker 2: Team and that's totally like understandable and. Fair he's played
40:47
Speaker 2: on those type of. Teams it's an, intoxicating, amazing fulfilling feeling.
40:51
Speaker 1: To be part of something great and right now it's
40:53
Speaker 1: not but a lot to have that right? Now is
40:55
Speaker 1: that it? Happen that's part of. It is it the roster,
40:58
Speaker 1: makeup it's both the all of.
41:00
Speaker 3: Both.
41:01
Speaker 1: Yeah and then but the thing.
41:02
Speaker 4: Is if The bucks can put together a team that
41:05
Speaker 4: you think can get to the postseason and win, consistently
41:06
Speaker 4: would you want to?
41:07
Speaker 1: Stay and his answer, was you're saying that if.
41:09
Speaker 4: They can convince me to stay within the team and
41:11
Speaker 4: the next year we can, compete oh, yeah one thousand,
41:14
Speaker 4: percent one million, percent million.
41:16
Speaker 1: PERCENT i love that kind of turnaround. Possible that is
41:21
