  Speaker 2: So it has finally happens. It is happening. Yannis is
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: on the block, the trading block.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: According to Sean Shrania, the Bucks are seeking trade offers
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: for their superstar former MVP Jannis Amstercumpo. Last week, as
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks announced new head coach Taylor Jenkins, owner
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Haslam said, sometime over the next six or seven weeks,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: we'll decide whether Yannis is going to sign a max
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: contract and stay with us, or he's going to go
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: play somewhere else. And John and Taylor, along with owner
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: co owner Wes and myself, we'll make that call. And
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: we understand the gravity of that call. And now, based
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: on reports, the focus has shifted to finding a trade
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: partner for Yannis. The Bucks reportedly expects to get a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: young blue chip talents and or a surplus of draft picks.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Oh Man, Listen, when a when a superstar wants out,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: you get him out.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Just this is how this goes.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: This has been a bit of a circus for the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: past couple of years, lots of conversation about where Jannis
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: is going to go, if he's happy, are they actually
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: going to trade him? Here we are, he's on his
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: seventh coach, entering his fourteenth season. This is one of
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the greatest talents the league has seen. He's a champion
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and MVP and now he's on the market. It's really
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a shame that it's come to this, because I feel
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: like if they had handled this differently, they might have
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: actually gotten.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: A better deal for him.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: But he will make this offseason exciting and it could
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: change the shape of the NBA for the next handful
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of years. He's thirty one years old, as I said,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: as a championship, two MVPs and a Defensive Player of
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the Year award.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: He's been incredibly loyal.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Only Steph and Re have been with their teams longer
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: than Yannis, and obviously the Bucks are not exactly the Warriors.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: But over the past couple of years things have really
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: really fallen apart. Has changed in the ownership group, with
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: a purchase just after Yanni has joined the team, and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: then reshuffling more recently. So I'm really excited to see
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: where he ends up. Obviously, the heats. My team have
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: been in conversation and they have some pieces as they
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: can move around to get Yannis there.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: There's been some reports about him potentially going to the Knicks. Now.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I think it depends on how this next season finishes,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: whether they are still in the market for Yiannis or not,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: because obviously they would have to give up a lot
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of pieces to get Yannis to New York. So it's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: going to be an interesting offseason because this is a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: player that doesn't come on the market very often. You know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a player like Jiannis usually stays with their team for
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the you know, duration of their career. So for him
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to be on the market and for teams to be
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: looking to add a star like him, things are going
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to get really, really squirrely, really quickly. So Victor women
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Yama will play tonight for Game five in San Antonio.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: The league decided not to suspend or even find the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: superstar big man after he was ejected from Game four
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: for a ferocious elbow to the throat of nas Reed.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Reid also rolled his ankle in the Wolves whin, but
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: he was able to return to the game, and he
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: said postgame quote is weakness leaving the body.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Great quote by nas Reed, and he did take a
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: couple lumps and come back in the game. But this
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: is a bit of a superstar whistle.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know if.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Everyone maybe a superstar and reputation whistle, because I don't
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: know if like a Draymond Green would be able to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: get away with something like this. But it not be
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: a suspension or a fine. But all that said, I'm
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: okay with it. You can't suspend the most one of
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the most exciting players in the game from the playoffs
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: like it. It was clearly intentional.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: He got suspended, it hurt them, they lost.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: You got to have him back, and I don't think
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you have to suspend him. So really looking forward to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Game five tonight. But before we go, there was more
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: even more hoops news this weekend. The NBA Draft lottery
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: awarded the number one overall pick two the Wizards. In
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a draft year that has some real talent from likely
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: number one overall pick aj Da Bansa to blue chip
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: prospects like Darren Patterson from Kansas, Cameron Booze from Duke,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Caleb Wilson from North Carolina.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: It's a very sack draft.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Washington is already considering trading down if the right offer comes.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I really don't love this because I hate rewarding teams
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that are habitually bad in order to get higher in
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the draft lottery. I mean, that's the system. The Wizards
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: have made some moves throughout the years, some trades, Trey Young,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. But it's really hard for a team to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: flip from a losing atmosphere, a losing reputation, losing culture,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to then all of a sudden doing the right things
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: because you have the number one overall draft picked.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's an institutional change.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: It has to happen with the Wizards, and this is
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: probably something that everyone doesn't like to see because the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Wizards have been so bad throughout the season.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: But we'll see. This draft is going to be exciting.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: This draft class is.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Going to be exciting, and we'll see if this ends
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: up working out for them and paying off in the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: long run and especially for Wizards fans. So a lot
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: going on. Thanks so much for joining me on.
