• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I can't wait for that to start.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Meantimes, some news and notes Yannis Acorny, the reports open
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: minded about exploring a trade off the mean streets of
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee and Dallas winning the draft lottery that had a
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: one point eight percent chance of getting that top pick,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: and Jalen Rose.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't you know they got it.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: They're feeding a lot of conspiracy there.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Meantime, when that Yannis news came out, le Matine my
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: right says, don't leave your honest Coming from someone who's
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: been there, would.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: You care a wild hours?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Would you care to elaborate please?
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Well, what I wanted to really tell him to do
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: at this moment is to really just stay silent, stay still,
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: and stay vigitally. I think a lot of times when
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: you speak too early in a situation, it kind of
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: puts a lot of pressure on yourself and all your
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: friends and family and stuff like that. So I think
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: you should just stay silent. This is a big decision
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: for him coming up. You know what he's gonna do
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: next to his career. He's been in Milwaukee forever, so
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: you know, just leaving it's gonna leave a sour tasting
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: all the fast mouth and I totally understand from the
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: situation in Orlando what that would feel like.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: So just stay put for a little bit. Yuis what do.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: You think when you heard that that story?
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: So, as someone unlike these guys that wasn't a superstar,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I have a unique thought when I see a superstar
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: that wants to leave because a lot of times when
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: you put together a team, we build it around these
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: strengths and the weaknesses of the best player. And when
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: you're in the locker room, when you look at your
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: best player, it's like, we're supposed to win because we
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: got you. I know Dame is out and Dames dealing
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: with an injury, and I know he's gonna go somewhere
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: and be spectacular.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Wherever he is.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: And I know he's been in Milwaukee twelve years. And
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: everybody wants to win a championship and it goals to
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: win it every year, but guess what, you don't get
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: to win it every year. I always had more respect
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: for the players who stayed where they were asked Hall
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: of famers, great players, MVP level players, and found a
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: way to get it done.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Bloom where they were planted.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Well and one hundred cent agree with you, you know, it
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: bothers me and I get annoy that people on television
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: and they're like, it's time for Yannis to leave Milwaukee.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: I'm like, wait, y'all never said because they don't get
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: they not winning. Y'all didn't say it about me. Y'all
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: didn't said it about Patrick Ewing. Like all of a sudden,
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: today's players, we have to help them win the championship.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Like I'm like, yo, when I was playing in Philly,
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: I don't remember guys on TV saying they're wasting Charles
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Barkley's prime. I'm like, no, man, I'm gonna keep baling.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: That's my job. The Seven Sixers. I wanted to spend
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: my whole career in Philly.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I hope he spent.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Reggie Miller, I admire him, Dirt Nwisky, I admire him.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Those guys they finally got it done. But this notion
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: that when a great player, whether he's wonted or they're
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: not winning, he's got to move.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you don't have to move.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: I would love to see him spend his entire career
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: in Milwaukee.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Do they win a championship? They won it one time.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I hope they win it again. For his sake.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: But if they don't, this notion that okay, we're not
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: winning here, I gotta go.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I hate that and I'll always hate it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: All of that being said, do you think Milwaukee's going
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to try to move in?
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: Well, if I was, if I Metwaukeer, the first call
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: out make is to Dallas, because if Cooper Flag goes
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: to Dallas, are they contenders next year? That'd be a
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: great way to start to Milwaukee rebound because you've got
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: to understand something else about Milwaukee. Dames out all next
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: year basically too, So you're like, okay, we and this
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: would be a good situation.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Dame's gonna be out. We get Cooper.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Flag, maybe it's some other good young players of some
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: draft picks. Now you can really start your rebuild because
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: you're gonna be in the lottery again next year too.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: You get Cooper Flag some draft picks, you're gonna be
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: in the lottery again, and then, like say, Dames out
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: all next year more than likely. So what's the best
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: way to start your rebuild with Cooper Flag and some
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: draft picks.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: I like that idea, But if I'm Dallas, I'm keeping
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Cooper as he's a.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Once in a lifetime player. You going to match him
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: with Kyrie?
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Aw, he's out off next year too.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I mean that's the thing you got to.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, of course they expect him back, to expect
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: them to come, but he's still.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: He's still gonna take him a while to You don't
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: just come back to the NBA if he's sitting out
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: all year because number one Anthony.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Davis health is a legit question. Uh.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: But if you put Cooper flag on that team, they're
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: not gonna win the championship next year. I love Cooper flag,
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: but a D and Cooper flag half the year with Kyrie,
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: they're not gonna win the championship. But if you get
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: me a d. Jannis and then Kyrie come in later,
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: we got a better team.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: And as you saw from the from that post that
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: we put up there, they are Dallas expecting not to
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: deal the number one pick.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So after we said about us.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Dirt, we're never leaving t N T holding
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Touche what she'll say it, I may never
