On today's episode, Jason discusses the fallout from the blockbuster trade involving former NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, including: why the addition of Giannis won't be enough to elevate the Miami Heat beyond play-in territory in the Eastern Conference, whether the Milwaukee Bucks will regret passing on the Jaylen Brown-led package from the Boston Celtics, and why the trade market for a superstar like Giannis felt so soft to begin with. Plus, J-Mac tells us why the Minnesota Timberwolves decision to roster dump Julius Randle to the Brooklyn Nets feels like a precursor to more moves down the road.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is straight fire with Jason McIntire.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What is up, straight fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntire,
Straight poor year.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
For Tuesday, June the twenty third. It is good to
be back in just.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
In time for massive breaking news. Yannis traded. Finally we
got the NBA draft tonight. Obviously, listen, A ton of
amazing World Cup stuff has been happening. I was out
of the mix for four days. My daughter had volleyball
Nationals in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
That was fun.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It was, you know, six seven hours in the Minneapolis
Convention Center every day with you know, thirteen year.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Old girls yelling about volleyball. It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And I watched World Cup in between on my phone
and I waited patiently for Yannis to get traded. I
would just like to thank the Milwaukee Bucks for waiting
until I got back from vacation to trade one of
the best players the league has seen in the last
fifteen years. Jannis Atto a sure first ballot Hall of Famer,
(01:17):
a NBA champion, A did he win two MVPs. Yeah,
he has two MVPs nineteen and twenty finals, MVP, seven
time All NBA First Team Star, and he got an
embarrassingly low haul. Folks, if you are a Milwaukee Bucks
fan right now, you are just destitute and depressed and
(01:41):
pissed off.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
This is why we talk about it all the time.
The best time to trade that superstar is last year.
The best time to rebuild last year. All these dumb
teams and goofy owners waiting and thinking, maybe this guy
can come back from in and help our star.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Folks, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
This is the haul for Jannis, arguably the greatest player
in Buck's history. Okay, he's right there with Kreem Abdul Jabbar.
He's had of Glenn Big Dog Robinson, I had of
Sydney Bond, Creef, Jack Sigma, Terry Cummings. This is what
you got for Jannis and oh Rihannas and Bobby Portas, Sorry,
Giannis and Bobby Portis. The Bucks get one time All
(02:27):
star Tyler hero healil Ware, who is like, you know,
a developmental project. He's got He's okay, he could be
a fifteen pointing game guy. Sure stretch four or five.
Himey Hawkes from UCLA love that guy. Casperis yakkhuvad.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You do I just butchered his name.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Sorry, apologies to Casper's family, and three first round picks.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
So the number thirteen pick in tonight's draft goes to
the Bucks. That'll be that's a solid pick.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I don't think Glen de borgill fall there, but you
can get something something decent. This is where it gets interesting.
The only value I think the Bucks having this are
unprotected first in twenty thirty one and twenty thirty three.
Ladies and gentlemen, the year is twenty twenty six, So
to get excited about this trade for a Bucks fan,
(03:13):
you've got to look five years into the future. So
currently you would be thinking, like, how's the eighth grade
class in in basketball? That's what we're pegging our hopes
on twenty thirty one and twenty thirty three. Guys, If
(03:33):
they had traded Giannis last year, they could have got
way more, way more now. Obviously he had an injury
riddled season and play fell off a little bit. The
Bucks were abomination thirty two wins. Here's the problem. And
I'm bashing the Bucks here because I don't think this
is like a great trade for them.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Obviously.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
You know, listen, you get some picks you're find you're
gonna be like a thirty five win team in the East,
maybe thirty eight wins. If you're the Bucks, that's not
what you want. You want to be awful and tear
it down. Are you gonna be contending? You don't want
to be in the middle, dude, thirty seven wins? What's
that gonna do? You're not selling season tickets around that.
Who is the most marketable player.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
On the Milwaukee Bucks next year?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'll hang up and wait if you say Tyler Hero, Hey,
he's a local guy.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Come on, you gotta love Tyler Hero, do you? I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
He was playing with Bamana Bayo and look pretty good.
And now you're looking at a lineup of Miles Turner,
Kyle Kuzma, Kevin Porter, Junior, Ryan Rollins, Tyler Hero like,
I don't know, guys, thirty five, thirty eight wins. But
now let's go to the other side.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
And the Miami Heat. And so I know some Miami
Heat fans are acting like, oh, this is celebratory. Holy cow,
we got Giannis. We are cooking baby. Let's go South
Beach is gonna pop off with a Greek freak.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Let's pump the Brakes, boyson. Let's just take a deep
breath here. Okay, you take a gander at that Miami
heat roster. Tell me what you like. Oh, bam Adebayo, Yeah,
he nice?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I think did he have eighty what eighty three points
in a game last season or something? How many did
you have? Rob eighty five? Hey? I think eighty three? Yy?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Top Kobe's mark. Bam Odebayo went for eighty three last year.
He's an awesome defensive player. Now Andrew Wiggins has a
player option for thirty mil Is he turning that down?
Or is what's going on there? Nikola Jovich, he hasn't
played enough basketball for me to know how good he's
gonna be.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
He's a solid young player.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
If he's your starting If he's in your starting lineup,
you're not a playoff team.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Correct in the East?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Not with Nikola Jovitch in the backcourt. His backcourt might
be Davion Mitchell. I mean, folks, this is dead ass series.
I'm not even kidding. By the way, Nikola Jovich last year,
at the age of twenty three, started one game, shut
twenty six percent from three at average seven points a game.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, he's not starting anywhere near your back court. I've
had a backcourt. He's six'. Ten what the hell AM
i getting a confused with Another? Yovic so he's got
to be a. Backup oh my.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Gosh this is if you go to hoopspe you look
at their, Salaries you're, Like Holy Davion.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Mitchell you, KNOW i like.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Him one of the best nicknames in college basketball history
was Off night because if he guarded, you were having
an off.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Night just a spectacular defensive.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
PLAYER i like him a, Lot but, FOLKS i just
rattled off for, you like the best players on The
Milwaukee i'm sorry The Miami heat next, season, guys that
is not good at. ALL i think this is a
lateral move For. Giannis did he really upgrade the? ROSTER i,
(06:46):
mean maybe they Keep Norman, Powell Pel, Lawson Drew, Smith Myron.
GARDNER i JUST i don't see greatness. Here now you
can build Around Jannison. Bay i'm sure your window is
truncated to probably the next three. SEASONS i, mean, again
we're banking That giannis is gonna stay, healthy but building
(07:07):
around two. Bigs i'll rattle off some teams in The
east that are better right. Now no questions. ASKED i
don't love The, pistons but they want sixty. Games they're
gonna be ahead of you in The east. Standings The
celtics will be ahead of you in The. EAST i,
know Rob, Gen i'm sure a lot of, People, Well
Jayalen brown's gonna.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Be pissed that they dangled. Him we'll.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
See The Cleveland cavaliers are one thousand percent better than
The Miami heat With hardin And mitchell and their. Bigs
The New York, knicks the DEFENDING nba, champions are obviously
better than The Miami. Heat and The Indiana pacers with
ty Base halliburton, back are obviously. Better, so just off
the top of my, head that's five. TEAMS i didn't
(07:46):
mention The Atlanta, hawks WHO i think are better than The.
HEAT i Think orlando's, Better and The, sixers who took
down The celtics in the. PLAYOFFS i think they're probably
better health. Pending But i'm looking at roster AND i
just named for you eight teams in The east. Better
and that's Why i'm saying this is a lateral move For,
yiannis because it's not like he's upgrading. Team, yeah he
may be upgrading, lifestyle and going From milwaukee To South
(08:09):
beach is certainly a social. Upgrade no disrespect to the
fine people Of, milwaukee BUT i did have my bachelor
party In miami for a, reason AND i JUST i
don't see a world Where yannis is contending for anything anytime.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Too.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Now the only Way, rob that The heat can turn
this around is if they have some other.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Chip to.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
PLAY i don't know what that, is But i'm looking
around And i'm, Like, okay can they Get wiggins to
opt in and then trade? Them is there something cooking
up With Norman? Powell Because, ROB i don't see. It this,
league you need depth and you need guard. Play The
Miami heat have.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Neither you do have a.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Star but this is JUST i, MEAN i don't know
that anybody. WINS i don't think The bucks won this.
Trade you, know get back to me in twenty thirty
one if we find outs The bucks will in this, trade,
Okay AND i don't think The heat won the, trade
though they'll get MORE tv games and more exposure because
they Have jannis And. Bam But janna Sid bam do
not a title. Team Make Rub, now it's big. Facts
(09:15):
you're so, right you can't turn left right, Now. Jason
it's they are rearranging the deck chairs of The titanic
there In.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Miami this.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Move you, know you have, eighteenes BUT i think at
your top off maybe you're six. SEVEN i had with
the joke six to seven, joke but that's kind of
where they. Are and you're banking On and even THOUGH
i would have loved to Have giannis as a, laker
in all, honesty this is me being. Objective he's on
the wrong side of. Thirty his game is predicated on, physicality,
(09:44):
Athleticism he's been, injured AND i believe he's only made
it out of the first.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Round once in the last five. YEARS i could be.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Wrong and so you're gonna have him And bam And
bam has never been a stretch big, Right Bam Bam
ada the untouchable. Guy it's a three Time All. Star,
Right so if things break your way and you get
this kind of haircut and that kind of, haircut and And,
wiggins you, know ops out of the, thirty but he
extends for a longer years with less money per year.
(10:14):
Whatever and you tried out a start in five Of
Bam Giannis wiggins off Night Norm powell With bobby portis
off the. Bench, cool they're not winning a, Championship you're
not even contending for a.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Championship So, rob here we, GO i got it for.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You The bucks lost in the first round of The
pacers in twenty, five lost in the first round of
The pacers in twenty. Four giannis lost in the first
round of The heat in twenty, three and then lost
in the second round of The celtics in twenty. Two
so once in the title, run he's had one playoff series.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Win, yeah, yeah so any part of its. INJURY i
understand that. Point but it's, like If giannis was so
hell bent on getting out Of milwaukee because he wanted
to be closer to AN nba, championship and that is absolutely,
respectable that is a noble, endeavor why on earth would
you put The Miami heat as one of those teams
you'd be willing to go.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
To he has to know he's not. Stupid he has
to know that where.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
He's going is maybe marginally more talented than where he was,
previously and that team wasn't close to. Contending if all
he really wanted to do was win a, championship AND
i believe that reporting was he absolutely wanted to stay
in The Eastern conference because you don't want to be
in The west with all those loaded teams out. There
then why would you not put your finger on the
(11:35):
scale and, Say i'm only accepting a trade to The
Boston celtics Or i'm only accepting a trade to The
New York.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Knicks because he's afraid.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
That might be the, answer and why he's gonna be
stuck in purgatory. Forever and that's disappointing Because i'm A yanest.
FAN i think you're A yannist. Fan Giannis. Antetokumpo once
he won his FIRST, mvp and once he got The
Defensive player of The, year and most, importantly once he
won that championship with the fifty burger to clinch it Over,
phoenix his trajectory was no Longer, oh this is a great,
(12:06):
story what a great. Situation, giannis the kid From greece
who made. Good nobody knew anything about, him and he
morphed himself into a great. Player, now once he started
racking up those kind of, accolades once that became his,
resume he was no longer being judged As, wow what
a steal for the fifteenth overall, pick it was damn
if he gets another, one we're talking about a top
(12:28):
twelve to fifteen eighteen, Player and not only is that
not going to, happen he's not even gonna be making
deep playoff runs for it to be an argument.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Anymore will even get back to the? Finals hell? No
well maybe as a as like a Carlt malone with The, lakers, right, sure,
sure but that's not how He's he should have been
judged in a different prism and that is not gonna,
happen and we're being robbed of it because of he's
got a lot of great individual. Stats, yeah for his
refusal to really put pressure on the front. Office it's
(13:00):
tough to be the bad, Guy Robb, Gi it's. Tough it's.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Hard Fox Sports radio has the best sports talk lineup
in the. Nation catch all of our shows At Foxsports
radio dot com and within The iHeartRadio. App SEARCH fsr
to listen.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Live by the, way fun fun, Fact So miami is
Celebrating giannis.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Today several months Ago.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
South, beach, WELL i guess, Not miami was celebrated stealing
a Certain Malik willis also From Green, bay so they
have now boosted the best player on The bucks and
he's going To florida and the backup quarterback To Jordan.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Love he's going To. Florida so they'll save a lot in.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Taxes they'll have a lot warmer, winters but they're not
gonna win a lot of. GAMES i don't See Malik,
willison the, Backer Malik willis and The dolphins doing anything this.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Year will be one of the worst teams in the.
League AND i feel bad for, you, honest because he's
gonna look around and it's like That Will Smith meeme
at the end Of Fresh prince of Bel. Air we
just look. Around you're, like oh my, gosh there's nothing.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Here and, yeah they'll be great, Defensively, okay you, KNOW
i don't see how you're stopping any of these offensive.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
JUGGERNAUTS i, Mean i'd take The nixon five right. NOW i,
MEAN i guess you.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Could you could just go sign Together outetakoupo, brothers be
that part of the contract right the, heater, like, hey
we need roster. Spots let's go Get fanas and whoever
the other guys.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Are how many are there for three or?
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Four there's at least three that have been in THE,
nba The NASAs, coast this End.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Nassas that's the. ONE i did love all the stories
where like The lakers would pick up The nassas or
one of these.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Guys, yeah they would keep them on the back end
of the roster for like two years just in, case you,
know you never.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Know, yeah, yeah you got to make a, shot make
a take a chance on Getting jannis and you secure the.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
BROTHERS i, mean my guess Is miami would do.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
That but, Man, Rob i'm a little shocked that there
was No, like what does it say to you that
the market was so light For yannis?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
People he just didn't want to get in bed with that,
Contract that's the.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Question the other thing could be something that we've talked
about now for several, months is you Know, yannis as
great as he is, singularly he is one of those
guys very similar to A Luka, doncic to a lesser,
Extent Jalen brunton, too AN sga where if he does
not have the ball in his, hands what is he?
Doing like that was the big riff between him And
Dame lillard that you, know he wanted to have the.
(15:25):
Ball he did not like setting screens and dive into the.
Basket the two man game never materialized because that's not
How yan has used himself as a.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Player and.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Whoever you had to give up to get, him you
would have to retro fit the rest of your roster
around a power forward who cannot, shoot and you also
have to pay, him and you have to pay him
seventy million dollars a.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Year So i'm look at he's due fifty eight this.
Year then he has the player option for sixty two
and at. That, so by the, way he is thirty.
One he turns thirty two In, december so he'll be
Making at thirty, two he'll be making sixty two. Million
at thirty, three he'll be making whatever's, next probably sixty
(16:07):
five seventy.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Mili so here's the weird, Thing, ROB i, don't we don't.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Never nobody knows how anybody's gonna. Age i've seen some
bad takes out there About lebron when he was like
thirty two years. Old you, Know, oh he's dragging This
cavs team to the finals or whatever it. Was he's
still thriving at forty. ONE i think he's probably one
in a. Million, Well Steph curry's aging, fine but, again
there's been injuries in the last couple of.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
YEARS i don't know How giannis is gonna.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
DROP i don't think anybody could credibly say they know, either,
right and all of a sudden his body's breaking down this.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
YEAR i Love luca more than. Anybody how's he gonna
age in four? Years you, know at thirty? TWO i,
MEAN i just these are questions we don't know the answer.
To But i'll tell you, THIS a little tougher to
age probably when you're making seventy million dollars a. YEAR i,
mean it's, like, jeez What.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
But wouldn't you even, then again, objectively not just as
A laker, fan wouldn't you bet On luca even if
he didn't age well because his game is groundbound and
he is a skill based. Player is gonna age more
gracefully Than, giannis whose entire repertoire is based on athleticism and.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Physicality for, sure no doubt about. IT i Think luca
will age.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Better there's a the other problem with giannest like you, Said, Jiannison,
Baam they're not gonna spread the. Floor and this is
where Some gabbronis, say didn't, Yanis, sorry Didn't bam hit
seven threes when he scored?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
It, boys guy's come on a fru flukey. Game it's
not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
AGAIN i JUST i don't know that this really moves
the needle for either of those. Teams are you surprised
though that none of the other players got Interested Celtics?
Lakers AND i wonder if that's sixty two milli a
year followed by.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Whatever's next sixty five seventy.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
MILI i just don't know if teams are, like let's
just not do, that let's just pass on.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
THAT i, mean CJ's C j.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
MCCOMS nba has really ruined that second apron is scaring
these teams. Off and to your point about The gianni's, Extension,
uh he would be eligible for a according To google
here a four, year two hundred and seventy five million dollar,
extension Which i'm assuming he's going to get seventy million
a year basically what.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
You.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Know and, again so go. AHEAD i think he's worth the.
MONEY i Think giannis at his when he's held at
he's worth seventy.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
MIL i think he's a top three or four player
in THE. Nba so If i'm gonna pay anybody holds.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Him he has been at times when he's making seventy
mil in two years at age thirty, three could he
still be a top three or four player in THE?
Nba Remember cooper flag will be coming when people, will
assuming he's, healthy be for Sure number One lucas still
in his? PRIME, Sga are you sure he's still a
top five guy in two?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Years that's a good QUE i mean right NOW i
think he. Is, yeah, now, yeah your, point, Yes i'm not.
Sure but it's, like would you rather pay him seventy
million or pay the other side of this? Coin In
Milwaukee Tyler hero forty three million a year forty? Five
how how many more years Does Tyler hero? Have, well
he has one year. Left it's an inspiring. Contract i'm
(19:13):
assuming they don't trade for him to let him. Expire
they're going to extend. Him so you're gonna give him
what four for one sixty one seventy?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
FIVE i might let him, Walk but it's like you're
saying he's he's a he's a forty five million dollars
a year, guy.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Not to, me but if he's the centerpiece of the,
trade you almost have to keep, him don't.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
You, WELL i.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
DON'T i mean The MAVs moved off Of Anthony davis
pretty damn.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
QUICKLY i know there's a different trick Of Zance luca and. Everything.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, AGAIN i want to be bad, aggressively SO i
let hero.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
GO i.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Don't i'm.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Not i'm not signing a shooting a really one dimensional
shooting guard for forty five million. Year by the, Way
i'm looking this, Up Desmond bayne rob got four unprotected
first AND kcp And Cole anthon and that was one year.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Ago four. Unprotected The bucks got two Free. Gannis what mm.
Hmmm that's. Horrific. Man well to that line of, thinking
do you believe.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
That that is primarily the reason why The bucks did
not take The Jalen brown.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Deal, WELL i mean we're assuming That Jalen brown deal
was out. THERE i, mean according To shams it Was
Jalen brown in two First Jalen.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Brown, well you're Saying i'd rather lose and be a
race to the bottom and rebuild as quickly as possible
rather Than.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Well now that that's. Interesting hold, On, So.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Jalen brown's a FINALS, mvp he was a top he's
an ALL nba. Guy he was a top five finalist
for the MVV. DIS i think, so, YEAH i think
you could probably be a, contender a fringe contender in
The east With Jalen brown as your one if you
built around him. SMARTLY i just want to remind all
(21:07):
the morons When Jalen brunson was gotten by the next
you can't be your.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
One he's not even a two. Guys the league has.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Changed if you can figure out ways to build around your,
guy you can build a contender With Jalen. Brown the
problem is how quickly can they do? That can they
do that before he turns thirty? Three so, YEAH i
would have taken The Jalen brown deal over over with
The Miami heat. Deal that being, said do you got
to Pay Jalen? Brown what would you say you got
(21:36):
to pay? Him it's also seventy mil something like. That,
yeah let me see his age real, quick Because Jaalen
brown is.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
How much like thirty? League for a? Minute has he
been in the? League That he's twenty? Nine turns thirty In.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
October, Interesting so he's a Little he's about almost twenty
two months younger than y, honest not quite as good
as the, honest BUT I i, MEAN i think.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
He's still really. Good and the problem, is if You're,
yiannis you're going To miami where they had to give up.
Everything if you're going to The, celtics they sell would
have theoretically Had Derek, White Jason, Tatum Peyton, pritchard that's
a real. Team you would have gone to the. Finals.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yep, NOW i don't, know do you believe that deal
was out, there because if that's, true that's a colossal
whiff by The.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Bucks, Now i'll tell you it to me IF i
have no reason believe that it's not. TRUE i think
If sean's reporting, it then it's. TRUE i believe that
they decided to your original, point we would much rather
be bad and take The picks point of view of
it than Have Jalen brown as our. Centerpiece we're going
to be too good'll be stuck in purgatory like we
(22:44):
have been the last few. Years we're gonna be a, six,
seven eight, seed and we're going nowhere because the rest
of the.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Good The Detroit pistons won sixty games With Kid cunningham
as they're one And jalen in beef Stew Tobias. Harris
why Couldn't Jalen brown win win sixty games in The
east with the right guys.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Around becausejihannsuldn't do it And giannis is an objectively better
player Than Jaalen.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Brown, well he was. Hurt but the year, before what
seed were they? Sixeed i'd have to look five? Seed
was that the year The litler got?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Hurt? Uh they've had some, Unluckiness, yeah they have that some.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Money, wait so YOU'RE i, mean if, again if you
look at that roster With Jalen, brown the Hypothetical bucks,
roster and you, Said, OKAY i Got Jalen brown as
like my full crowme at the, three Gimme kuzma who
could shoot, threes stretch the.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Floor Myles turner could shoot, threes stretch the.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Floor my back court In milwaukee would Be i'd have, nothing.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Yea guess, what but guess?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
WHAT i would be able to find guys in the
draft with those two picks and, takes take some, flyers
OR i COULD i could you, know make some moves
again like The knicks made aggressive. Moves, yes and went
and Got ojan And obi And Karl Anthony towns and
traded For Michael.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Bridges at the, time people thought they were freaking. Crazy
they got their whole starting. Five, yeah, exactly. Exactly so
why couldn't The bucks do something like?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
That?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
NOW i guess the big hang up Is Jalen brunson
took a sh, it took a massive, haircut one hundred
and thirteen million dollars. Less Is Jalen brown doing?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
THAT i don't.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
KNOW i just saw a video of him saying he'll
go To china and play for four hundred mil if
they cut him the check right?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Now see that? Video is that new ro have you?
Seen is it? Older? New? NO i think it's. New.
Yeah he's like where he's like somewhere in you, Know
beijing or, whatever and he's, like, yeah write the check
for four hundred.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Mil i'll play In Jung, Wow Kung paow where he's you,
know just rattling off cities In. China he seems like
the kind of guy who had taken The Jalen brunson.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Deal do you know did you do?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
That? Now SO i guess from that point of, view it's, like,
WELL i don't, know could we build something around, HIM
i don't, know certainly better than what you could build
Around Tyler hero no hero and his ig Baby.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
MAMAS i don't, Know, bro it is a rough.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
One Fox Sports radio has the best sports talk lineup
in the. Nation catch all of our shows At Foxsports
radio dot com and within The iHeartRadio. App SEARCH fsr
to listen. Live what do you think of the other Trade?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Rob The Julius randall move which appeared to me to
be a precursor to something. Bigger Julius randall in a
three team deal With claxton going to The bulls from the.
Nets randall leaves The wolves and goes to the, nets
and then there's some draft picks swapped in a move
(25:42):
that you know you could kind of see. Coming randall
had a brew as good As randall was two years
ago against The, lakers remember That, Rob that was like the,
greatest maybe the highlight of his. Career he was as
bad in this past series against The Wemben yamlin. Company
and they ship him in his salary and now they
create a huge space where they can go get. Somebody
(26:03):
i'm guessing they're gonna go get a big wing To matthew.
McDaniels i've seen Some Dejonta murray. NOISE i didn't know
he was still a. Thing i've post. INJURY i hadn't
seen how he. DONE i don't think it was. Good
but what was your take on? That?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
WELL i was surprised That Julius rando was essentially salary.
DUMPED i, MEAN i say what you want About Julius,
rando but he is A i think a two Time
ALL nba, player AND i thought he would be better
than salary dump for whatever the twenty eighth pick or
whatever it. Was but, basically according everybody who covers The,
timberwolves the move was made because they wanted to re
Sign Ayu, desumu and they. Did they got that five,
(26:38):
year one hundred and twelve million dollar contract.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Of a forty three point, Game, yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Exactly and the other thing Is Dante DiVincenzo is gonna
be out for the. Season so in their, eyes they're, like,
hey we got Ant, man we Got, io we got
Nos reed slides up to the starting, lineup we Got jada,
McDaniels and we Got Rudy, gobert and now let's see
what we can do with this massive contract, exception you,
know and maybe they. CAN i don't know what their
pick situations, like maybe they can find a way again,
(27:04):
too The Trey Murphy. Sweepstakes maybe they can get into you,
Know Herb jones or whatever they're doing In New. Orleans
but they can find a way to be very scrappy
with their top six top.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
SEVEN i just don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Unless we whoever they, GET i don't know if that
particular group is much better Without Julius randall than they
were with.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
HIM i largely. AGREE i will say again The. Knicks you,
know you win a title and it kind of does
some wacky things for.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
You SO i just want to remind.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
People when the Next trader for ogn And obi and
gave him like two hundred twelve million. Dollars Og andnobi
had a grand total zero all star appearances Bright in's,
FACTS i mean, Zero that's. Insane and then you look
at you, Know jaden McDaniels And Julius randall and some
of these, guys and you're, like Man An wolf's had some,
dudes But devincenzo's out iod assume who basically got paid
(27:57):
off one GAME nba is.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Weird it is so.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Strange randall a salary. DUMP i mean he's been on
how many Team he's a.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Former, laker isn't He, Yeah, Lakers, Pelicans, Nicks, WOLVES i
believe are the teams he's been.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
On he's just one of these. Guys he's just a
volume scorer and go get your. Buckets In, brooklyn do
they still Have Michael Porter junior or they ship him?
Yet The brooklyn they still, Have, yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
So Mpj Julius.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Randall they got a metric ton of young, dudes none
of you who have accomplished.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Anything but they're all kind of like nice.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Prospects they'll be a league pass team where it's, like, oh,
yeah they only want thirty two. Games but you know
they were finn to watch.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Twenty.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
SEVEN i don't know they're gonna be, bad but they're
gonna be. Fun Aren't they gonna be one of the
worst teams of the. League, sure BUT i don't think
they're gonna be fifteen wins. Bad Julius randall And Michael
Porter junior are legitimate QUALITY nba, Players.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Well, yes but they are basically, like get me the
ball and they're black holes get.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Budgets that doesn't, win but it's on the walls. Games
so The pacers are not gonna be that. Bad The
wizards are probably gonna improve by twenty. Games rob they
signed three play Ad Trey. Debonza The bulls won thirty,
one so The nets are gonna be the worst team
in The, EAST i, think worse than The. Bucks and
(29:17):
in The west The jazz will be really. Good, wow forty.
Wins Good kings probably get a cuff in the draft.
Tonight grizzlies are trying to be aggressively. Bad, yeah let's
look at This bucks depth chart real, quick because you,
know we spent a lot of time on The.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Bucks Igor Demon, deman THE byu. Kid he's a good,
player but he's so, young, Right Drake? Powell is it
the kid From North? Carolina it? IS i did not
know he was a first round? Pick holy.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
COW i Like terren's man better coming off the. Bench
is that You're williams is. Good but, again these aren't
guys who are winning your thirty. Games then you GOT,
mpj then you Got randall and at center you Got
Danny wolf And dayron Sharp.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Man that is a brutal. Roster but they're gonna be
fun to. Watch, no they're. Not yes they. Will they're
not going to be, good but you will watch fewer
than seven minutes of The Brooklyn nets next. SEASON i
will take the over.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
On that IF i would, say, under they play the
four Pm pacific game on The West coast and in
the middle of the radio, show we have eight TVs
going at, once SO i will be able to watch
a lot Of Brooklyn nets.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Basketball i'll tell you that right. Now that's, Right, YEAH
i feel the. Excitement we touched on The Trey young.
DEAL i don't. Know he opted out of fifty three.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Million to get forty nine mili a year over for four.
Years i'm stunned that The wizards gave him. That the
only LOGIC i could come up.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
With rob, was, hey, guys you know we can't tank.
Anymore they kind of have stopped the. Tanking so we're
not paying anybody like literally.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Roster we might as well pay a guy who's won
a couple to see a playoff. Series he has been
to the conference, finals which is Something Joel embiid cannot.
Say and let's just go pay. Him it's not the
end of the.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
World, hey is there a scenario Where Trey young is
that Wurre Jalen brunson and around him we have Bilaal
kolibali who's a great, Defender Anthony, davison elite, Defender alex Sarr, AJ,
Debonsa Trey. Johnson we've got a bunch of, Wings Cam,
Whitmore i've always really liked him three AND d. Wing
(31:19):
we've got a lot of defenders and.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Wings let's put him next To Trey young and see
if it works and maybe they fall ass backwards into
forty two wins in the ninth.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
SEEDS i can see that.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Happening debons is gonna walk into the league and average
at least, fifteen fifteen and. Six and if ad you,
know he's going to be motivated to try to play
somewhere else sooner than. Later, Right SO i could see
The wizards being.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Good.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Absolutely Trey, YOUNG i know he's like a punchline now
because his defense is made fun of ON Nba, twitter
and you know he hasn't he didn't play much last.
Season but he is a walking like twenty two and twelve,
guy you, know because the way he plays his passing is.
Incredible he's a good score not as good of a
shooter as you would think based on his. Size if
(32:04):
it's a good, scorer and If Anthony davis can give.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
You you, know it sounds like a pipe.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Tream fifty five games they're gonna, win, Right they'll be
right around five, hundred because that is gonna be a
mini games fifty.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Five twenty five or fifty five by there'll be a
devastating pick and roll, team you.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Know, Again but if If Anthony davis wants to get,
out if they trade him this, offseason we'll. See but,
he's like you, said motivated to be in a better.
Situation he's gonna want to be, healthy if only to
elevate his trade value and go somewhere. Else Alex, SARR
i know people watch a lot of he's a good.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
PLAYER A. J debonsa is a very good. Player if
they're good, players what Is Austin reeves a very good?
Player what Is Bronnie? James by the, way it was
That Bronnie so, Again I'm i'm in the gym watching
volleyball for four. Days i'm not really on. IG i didn't.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Know So Ronnie james is getting married or he got
a girl pregnant or what is?
Speaker 3 (32:57):
That OH i saw.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
THAT i don't know how real it. Is, AGAIN i
don't follow him on the on the ye that could
have been, fake could have BEEN.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
AI i don't know. Anymore BUT i Think Brian james
is going to be in the rotation this.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Year.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Which rotation did rotation for The. LAKERS i think he's
gonna be a ten to fifty minute night. Guy You oh,
wow that's. Aggressive that's.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Aggressive that's such a low. Bar ten minutes on AN nba.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Roster that's that's a low. Bar that's an aggressive. Take.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yeah, SO i, MEAN i guess if you're looking at
the big, picture The Miami heat are still a playing.
Team The bucks did not win this trade until maybe
twenty thirty. One. MAYBE i mean at that, Point giannis
is going to be like back in Owning sicily or,
something and The sicily is not In.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Greece what AM i? Saying cicily Is. Italy he's going
to own somewhere In greece and not be in the.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
League what do you think of we could wrap Up
Rob what do you think.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
This means For?
Speaker 4 (33:50):
LEBRON i don't think it means anything For. Lebron, yeah
because he's either going to be A. Laker he's going
to be a warrior much it. Warrior he's not going
to go Back. East what you're smoking. Warrior it's where
else is he going to? Go he's gonna Follow Kevin durant's,
path not just.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Kidding.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Interesting so, now now the other thing THAT i should
add real quick is if you look at the financials
in This brooklyn, deal they are now they have less
cap space than they used to because they took On
randall and as a, result The bulls also Getting Nick,
claxton also have less cap. Space so the logic Is
(34:34):
Austin reeves is kind of off the table for those.
Guys now is it that they kick the tires On
Austin reeves And he's, like, NAH i don't want to
go TO i don't want to be. IRRELEVANT i want
to stay with The lakers and maybe take a little.
LESS i, mean The lakers kind of Have reeves over
a barrel now, Right, yeah much, easier much easier to deal.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
With them when you know he ain't going. NOWHERE i
don't know if somebody could come out of nowhere and afford,
him but those those were the two teams with cap
space that were supposed to be in the.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Mix SO i think now you get the hometown discount For.
REEVES i think you probably bring Back, lebron, right and
you have it a stup your sleeve that we don't
know yet but.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Could be something. Spicy give me your, name, mom give
me something. Spicy who does we?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Have we had somebody on who said something good about
Potentially lebron and The. Lakers who is the guy they
could add BECAUSE i don't think they're Adding Peyton.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Watson Tarry eason was the one That Jovon bucha.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
MENTIONED i, mean it's just gonna be this Second apron
is going to totally ruin so many. Teams you're gonna
see a lot of good players become. Available and we
got reporting now That houston is making everybody Except Aman thompson.
Available so it's, like, well who are they going? AFTER
i don't, know but they're just, saying, hey if you want,
(35:48):
to because everyone's so afraid of the Second apron that
they don't want to have three guys making forty to
fifty million dollars a. Season and if you already Got,
kdie you already Got, shingoon it's, like, well then one
of these young guys are gonna get, paid and next
thing you, know you're stuck with the big three and
dudes and nobody wants to do that. Anymore that's why
The lakers are hell bent on saying If lebron wants
(36:10):
to come, back we love to have, them but it's
got to be like twenty million. Dollars it's not going
to be fifty because otherwise we can't build a.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Competit as long as they tell him where they're spending
the money and what their game plan, IS, A b AND. C,
YEAH i don't think that's a. PROBLEM i Think lebron
would probably be amenable to. That like you, said his
son is going to be in the rotation this.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Year.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Bro come, on it's got to get. Excited, wow not
every day we can do. Well and we didn't even
really touch on the. Draft no, cheese you know.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Again BECAUSE i was out of. TOWN i don't have
any bet draft on. THAT i don't have any draft
bets made, yet BUT i. Will i'll be.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Looking at the lines today and put some on Ig
World cup betting has been pretty freaking. Phenomenal oh my,
Gosh i'm not quite a generational run by the. Way
we'll wrap up with, This rob G did you see
the G smith video that was circulating this. WEEKEND i
did see the. Video, okay so it's not great if
you haven't it on social, media just you, know go
look Up Gino. Smith but the funniest, thing AND i

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Real and then people did the high res and, yes

sitting in a garage, sink very visible to this woman
who was on the, phone, LIKE i don't, Know. GENO i,
Mean i'm not rooting against My jets, already But, rob
that was that.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
VIDEO i mean it was a little.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
Sad, YEAH i mean it's a tough. TOPIC i mean
the gun part is kind of, funny but it's you, KNOW.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
I cracked up WHEN i saw the people, say.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
You, know they they're, gino don't go to the, Choppa

Speaker 3 (38:19):
It's, like come, on, GUYS i mean now THAT i.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Will some other people, added you, know and we're kind
of just rolling here that that this woman in question
also has kids with.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Two OTHER nfl. Players, WOW i guess she's being called
the generational. Trapper and again that that sads out of.
Pocket but the comments were pretty funny on the, Post,
rob you may have to edit that out if you
think that's that's. Good it's. Okay you Have Brandon soores
beat your quarterback of the future in about two. Weeks all,
(38:52):

Speaker 2 (38:53):
Draft, oh tomorrow's pot will be great and we have
a GREAT nfl guest coming up later this.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Week talk some, futures right see tomorrow
This is straight fire with Jason McIntire.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What is up, straight fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntire,
Straight poor year.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
For Tuesday, June the twenty third. It is good to
be back in just.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
In time for massive breaking news. Yannis traded. Finally we
got the NBA draft tonight. Obviously, listen, A ton of
amazing World Cup stuff has been happening. I was out
of the mix for four days. My daughter had volleyball
Nationals in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
That was fun.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It was, you know, six seven hours in the Minneapolis
Convention Center every day with you know, thirteen year.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Old girls yelling about volleyball. It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And I watched World Cup in between on my phone
and I waited patiently for Yannis to get traded. I
would just like to thank the Milwaukee Bucks for waiting
until I got back from vacation to trade one of
the best players the league has seen in the last
fifteen years. Jannis Atto a sure first ballot Hall of Famer,
(01:17):
a NBA champion, A did he win two MVPs. Yeah,
he has two MVPs nineteen and twenty finals, MVP, seven
time All NBA First Team Star, and he got an
embarrassingly low haul. Folks, if you are a Milwaukee Bucks
fan right now, you are just destitute and depressed and
(01:41):
pissed off.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
This is why we talk about it all the time.
The best time to trade that superstar is last year.
The best time to rebuild last year. All these dumb
teams and goofy owners waiting and thinking, maybe this guy
can come back from in and help our star.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Folks, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
This is the haul for Jannis, arguably the greatest player
in Buck's history. Okay, he's right there with Kreem Abdul Jabbar.
He's had of Glenn Big Dog Robinson, I had of
Sydney Bond, Creef, Jack Sigma, Terry Cummings. This is what
you got for Jannis and oh Rihannas and Bobby Portas, Sorry,
Giannis and Bobby Portis. The Bucks get one time All
(02:27):
star Tyler hero healil Ware, who is like, you know,
a developmental project. He's got He's okay, he could be
a fifteen pointing game guy. Sure stretch four or five.
Himey Hawkes from UCLA love that guy. Casperis yakkhuvad.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You do I just butchered his name.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Sorry, apologies to Casper's family, and three first round picks.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
So the number thirteen pick in tonight's draft goes to
the Bucks. That'll be that's a solid pick.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I don't think Glen de borgill fall there, but you
can get something something decent. This is where it gets interesting.
The only value I think the Bucks having this are
unprotected first in twenty thirty one and twenty thirty three.
Ladies and gentlemen, the year is twenty twenty six, So
to get excited about this trade for a Bucks fan,
(03:13):
you've got to look five years into the future. So
currently you would be thinking, like, how's the eighth grade
class in in basketball? That's what we're pegging our hopes
on twenty thirty one and twenty thirty three. Guys, If
(03:33):
they had traded Giannis last year, they could have got
way more, way more now. Obviously he had an injury
riddled season and play fell off a little bit. The
Bucks were abomination thirty two wins. Here's the problem. And
I'm bashing the Bucks here because I don't think this
is like a great trade for them.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Obviously.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
You know, listen, you get some picks you're find you're
gonna be like a thirty five win team in the East,
maybe thirty eight wins. If you're the Bucks, that's not
what you want. You want to be awful and tear
it down. Are you gonna be contending? You don't want
to be in the middle, dude, thirty seven wins? What's
that gonna do? You're not selling season tickets around that.
Who is the most marketable player.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
On the Milwaukee Bucks next year?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'll hang up and wait if you say Tyler Hero, Hey,
he's a local guy.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Come on, you gotta love Tyler Hero, do you? I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
He was playing with Bamana Bayo and look pretty good.
And now you're looking at a lineup of Miles Turner,
Kyle Kuzma, Kevin Porter, Junior, Ryan Rollins, Tyler Hero like,
I don't know, guys, thirty five, thirty eight wins. But
now let's go to the other side.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
And the Miami Heat. And so I know some Miami
Heat fans are acting like, oh, this is celebratory. Holy cow,
we got Giannis. We are cooking baby. Let's go South
Beach is gonna pop off with a Greek freak.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Let's pump the Brakes, boyson. Let's just take a deep
breath here. Okay, you take a gander at that Miami
heat roster. Tell me what you like. Oh, bam Adebayo, Yeah,
he nice?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I think did he have eighty what eighty three points
in a game last season or something? How many did
you have? Rob eighty five? Hey? I think eighty three? Yy?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Top Kobe's mark. Bam Odebayo went for eighty three last year.
He's an awesome defensive player. Now Andrew Wiggins has a
player option for thirty mil Is he turning that down?
Or is what's going on there? Nikola Jovich, he hasn't
played enough basketball for me to know how good he's
gonna be.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
He's a solid young player.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
If he's your starting If he's in your starting lineup,
you're not a playoff team.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Correct in the East?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Not with Nikola Jovitch in the backcourt. His backcourt might
be Davion Mitchell. I mean, folks, this is dead ass series.
I'm not even kidding. By the way, Nikola Jovich last year,
at the age of twenty three, started one game, shut
twenty six percent from three at average seven points a game.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, he's not starting anywhere near your back court. I've
had a backcourt. He's six'. Ten what the hell AM
i getting a confused with Another? Yovic so he's got
to be a. Backup oh my.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Gosh this is if you go to hoopspe you look
at their, Salaries you're, Like Holy Davion.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Mitchell you, KNOW i like.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Him one of the best nicknames in college basketball history
was Off night because if he guarded, you were having
an off.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Night just a spectacular defensive.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
PLAYER i like him a, Lot but, FOLKS i just
rattled off for, you like the best players on The
Milwaukee i'm sorry The Miami heat next, season, guys that
is not good at. ALL i think this is a
lateral move For. Giannis did he really upgrade the? ROSTER i,
(06:46):
mean maybe they Keep Norman, Powell Pel, Lawson Drew, Smith Myron.
GARDNER i JUST i don't see greatness. Here now you
can build Around Jannison. Bay i'm sure your window is
truncated to probably the next three. SEASONS i, mean, again
we're banking That giannis is gonna stay, healthy but building
(07:07):
around two. Bigs i'll rattle off some teams in The
east that are better right. Now no questions. ASKED i
don't love The, pistons but they want sixty. Games they're
gonna be ahead of you in The east. Standings The
celtics will be ahead of you in The. EAST i,
know Rob, Gen i'm sure a lot of, People, Well
Jayalen brown's gonna.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Be pissed that they dangled. Him we'll.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
See The Cleveland cavaliers are one thousand percent better than
The Miami heat With hardin And mitchell and their. Bigs
The New York, knicks the DEFENDING nba, champions are obviously
better than The Miami. Heat and The Indiana pacers with
ty Base halliburton, back are obviously. Better, so just off
the top of my, head that's five. TEAMS i didn't
(07:46):
mention The Atlanta, hawks WHO i think are better than The.
HEAT i Think orlando's, Better and The, sixers who took
down The celtics in the. PLAYOFFS i think they're probably
better health. Pending But i'm looking at roster AND i
just named for you eight teams in The east. Better
and that's Why i'm saying this is a lateral move For,
yiannis because it's not like he's upgrading. Team, yeah he
may be upgrading, lifestyle and going From milwaukee To South
(08:09):
beach is certainly a social. Upgrade no disrespect to the
fine people Of, milwaukee BUT i did have my bachelor
party In miami for a, reason AND i JUST i
don't see a world Where yannis is contending for anything anytime.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Too.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Now the only Way, rob that The heat can turn
this around is if they have some other.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Chip to.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
PLAY i don't know what that, is But i'm looking
around And i'm, Like, okay can they Get wiggins to
opt in and then trade? Them is there something cooking
up With Norman? Powell Because, ROB i don't see. It this,
league you need depth and you need guard. Play The
Miami heat have.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Neither you do have a.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Star but this is JUST i, MEAN i don't know
that anybody. WINS i don't think The bucks won this.
Trade you, know get back to me in twenty thirty
one if we find outs The bucks will in this, trade,
Okay AND i don't think The heat won the, trade
though they'll get MORE tv games and more exposure because
they Have jannis And. Bam But janna Sid bam do
not a title. Team Make Rub, now it's big. Facts
(09:15):
you're so, right you can't turn left right, Now. Jason
it's they are rearranging the deck chairs of The titanic
there In.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Miami this.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Move you, know you have, eighteenes BUT i think at
your top off maybe you're six. SEVEN i had with
the joke six to seven, joke but that's kind of
where they. Are and you're banking On and even THOUGH
i would have loved to Have giannis as a, laker
in all, honesty this is me being. Objective he's on
the wrong side of. Thirty his game is predicated on, physicality,
(09:44):
Athleticism he's been, injured AND i believe he's only made
it out of the first.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Round once in the last five. YEARS i could be.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Wrong and so you're gonna have him And bam And
bam has never been a stretch big, Right Bam Bam
ada the untouchable. Guy it's a three Time All. Star,
Right so if things break your way and you get
this kind of haircut and that kind of, haircut and And,
wiggins you, know ops out of the, thirty but he
extends for a longer years with less money per year.
(10:14):
Whatever and you tried out a start in five Of
Bam Giannis wiggins off Night Norm powell With bobby portis
off the. Bench, cool they're not winning a, Championship you're
not even contending for a.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Championship So, rob here we, GO i got it for.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You The bucks lost in the first round of The
pacers in twenty, five lost in the first round of
The pacers in twenty. Four giannis lost in the first
round of The heat in twenty, three and then lost
in the second round of The celtics in twenty. Two
so once in the title, run he's had one playoff series.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Win, yeah, yeah so any part of its. INJURY i
understand that. Point but it's, like If giannis was so
hell bent on getting out Of milwaukee because he wanted
to be closer to AN nba, championship and that is absolutely,
respectable that is a noble, endeavor why on earth would
you put The Miami heat as one of those teams
you'd be willing to go.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
To he has to know he's not. Stupid he has
to know that where.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
He's going is maybe marginally more talented than where he was,
previously and that team wasn't close to. Contending if all
he really wanted to do was win a, championship AND
i believe that reporting was he absolutely wanted to stay
in The Eastern conference because you don't want to be
in The west with all those loaded teams out. There
then why would you not put your finger on the
(11:35):
scale and, Say i'm only accepting a trade to The
Boston celtics Or i'm only accepting a trade to The
New York.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Knicks because he's afraid.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
That might be the, answer and why he's gonna be
stuck in purgatory. Forever and that's disappointing Because i'm A yanest.
FAN i think you're A yannist. Fan Giannis. Antetokumpo once
he won his FIRST, mvp and once he got The
Defensive player of The, year and most, importantly once he
won that championship with the fifty burger to clinch it Over,
phoenix his trajectory was no Longer, oh this is a great,
(12:06):
story what a great. Situation, giannis the kid From greece
who made. Good nobody knew anything about, him and he
morphed himself into a great. Player, now once he started
racking up those kind of, accolades once that became his,
resume he was no longer being judged As, wow what
a steal for the fifteenth overall, pick it was damn
if he gets another, one we're talking about a top
(12:28):
twelve to fifteen eighteen, Player and not only is that
not going to, happen he's not even gonna be making
deep playoff runs for it to be an argument.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Anymore will even get back to the? Finals hell? No
well maybe as a as like a Carlt malone with The, lakers, right, sure,
sure but that's not how He's he should have been
judged in a different prism and that is not gonna,
happen and we're being robbed of it because of he's
got a lot of great individual. Stats, yeah for his
refusal to really put pressure on the front. Office it's
(13:00):
tough to be the bad, Guy Robb, Gi it's. Tough it's.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Hard Fox Sports radio has the best sports talk lineup
in the. Nation catch all of our shows At Foxsports
radio dot com and within The iHeartRadio. App SEARCH fsr
to listen.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Live by the, way fun fun, Fact So miami is
Celebrating giannis.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Today several months Ago.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
South, beach, WELL i guess, Not miami was celebrated stealing
a Certain Malik willis also From Green, bay so they
have now boosted the best player on The bucks and
he's going To florida and the backup quarterback To Jordan.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Love he's going To. Florida so they'll save a lot in.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Taxes they'll have a lot warmer, winters but they're not
gonna win a lot of. GAMES i don't See Malik,
willison the, Backer Malik willis and The dolphins doing anything this.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Year will be one of the worst teams in the.
League AND i feel bad for, you, honest because he's
gonna look around and it's like That Will Smith meeme
at the end Of Fresh prince of Bel. Air we
just look. Around you're, like oh my, gosh there's nothing.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Here and, yeah they'll be great, Defensively, okay you, KNOW
i don't see how you're stopping any of these offensive.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
JUGGERNAUTS i, Mean i'd take The nixon five right. NOW i,
MEAN i guess you.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Could you could just go sign Together outetakoupo, brothers be
that part of the contract right the, heater, like, hey
we need roster. Spots let's go Get fanas and whoever
the other guys.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Are how many are there for three or?
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Four there's at least three that have been in THE,
nba The NASAs, coast this End.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Nassas that's the. ONE i did love all the stories
where like The lakers would pick up The nassas or
one of these.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Guys, yeah they would keep them on the back end
of the roster for like two years just in, case you,
know you never.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Know, yeah, yeah you got to make a, shot make
a take a chance on Getting jannis and you secure the.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
BROTHERS i, mean my guess Is miami would do.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
That but, Man, Rob i'm a little shocked that there
was No, like what does it say to you that
the market was so light For yannis?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
People he just didn't want to get in bed with that,
Contract that's the.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Question the other thing could be something that we've talked
about now for several, months is you Know, yannis as
great as he is, singularly he is one of those
guys very similar to A Luka, doncic to a lesser,
Extent Jalen brunton, too AN sga where if he does
not have the ball in his, hands what is he?
Doing like that was the big riff between him And
Dame lillard that you, know he wanted to have the.
(15:25):
Ball he did not like setting screens and dive into the.
Basket the two man game never materialized because that's not
How yan has used himself as a.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Player and.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Whoever you had to give up to get, him you
would have to retro fit the rest of your roster
around a power forward who cannot, shoot and you also
have to pay, him and you have to pay him
seventy million dollars a.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Year So i'm look at he's due fifty eight this.
Year then he has the player option for sixty two
and at. That, so by the, way he is thirty.
One he turns thirty two In, december so he'll be
Making at thirty, two he'll be making sixty two. Million
at thirty, three he'll be making whatever's, next probably sixty
(16:07):
five seventy.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Mili so here's the weird, Thing, ROB i, don't we don't.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Never nobody knows how anybody's gonna. Age i've seen some
bad takes out there About lebron when he was like
thirty two years. Old you, Know, oh he's dragging This
cavs team to the finals or whatever it. Was he's
still thriving at forty. ONE i think he's probably one
in a. Million, Well Steph curry's aging, fine but, again
there's been injuries in the last couple of.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
YEARS i don't know How giannis is gonna.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
DROP i don't think anybody could credibly say they know, either,
right and all of a sudden his body's breaking down this.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
YEAR i Love luca more than. Anybody how's he gonna
age in four? Years you, know at thirty? TWO i,
MEAN i just these are questions we don't know the answer.
To But i'll tell you, THIS a little tougher to
age probably when you're making seventy million dollars a. YEAR i,
mean it's, like, jeez What.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
But wouldn't you even, then again, objectively not just as
A laker, fan wouldn't you bet On luca even if
he didn't age well because his game is groundbound and
he is a skill based. Player is gonna age more
gracefully Than, giannis whose entire repertoire is based on athleticism and.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Physicality for, sure no doubt about. IT i Think luca
will age.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Better there's a the other problem with giannest like you, Said, Jiannison,
Baam they're not gonna spread the. Floor and this is
where Some gabbronis, say didn't, Yanis, sorry Didn't bam hit
seven threes when he scored?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
It, boys guy's come on a fru flukey. Game it's
not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
AGAIN i JUST i don't know that this really moves
the needle for either of those. Teams are you surprised
though that none of the other players got Interested Celtics?
Lakers AND i wonder if that's sixty two milli a
year followed by.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Whatever's next sixty five seventy.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
MILI i just don't know if teams are, like let's
just not do, that let's just pass on.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
THAT i, mean CJ's C j.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
MCCOMS nba has really ruined that second apron is scaring
these teams. Off and to your point about The gianni's, Extension,
uh he would be eligible for a according To google
here a four, year two hundred and seventy five million dollar,
extension Which i'm assuming he's going to get seventy million
a year basically what.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
You.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Know and, again so go. AHEAD i think he's worth the.
MONEY i Think giannis at his when he's held at
he's worth seventy.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
MIL i think he's a top three or four player
in THE. Nba so If i'm gonna pay anybody holds.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Him he has been at times when he's making seventy
mil in two years at age thirty, three could he
still be a top three or four player in THE?
Nba Remember cooper flag will be coming when people, will
assuming he's, healthy be for Sure number One lucas still
in his? PRIME, Sga are you sure he's still a
top five guy in two?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Years that's a good QUE i mean right NOW i
think he. Is, yeah, now, yeah your, point, Yes i'm not.
Sure but it's, like would you rather pay him seventy
million or pay the other side of this? Coin In
Milwaukee Tyler hero forty three million a year forty? Five
how how many more years Does Tyler hero? Have, well
he has one year. Left it's an inspiring. Contract i'm
(19:13):
assuming they don't trade for him to let him. Expire
they're going to extend. Him so you're gonna give him
what four for one sixty one seventy?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
FIVE i might let him, Walk but it's like you're
saying he's he's a he's a forty five million dollars
a year, guy.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Not to, me but if he's the centerpiece of the,
trade you almost have to keep, him don't.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
You, WELL i.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
DON'T i mean The MAVs moved off Of Anthony davis
pretty damn.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
QUICKLY i know there's a different trick Of Zance luca and. Everything.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, AGAIN i want to be bad, aggressively SO i
let hero.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
GO i.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Don't i'm.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Not i'm not signing a shooting a really one dimensional
shooting guard for forty five million. Year by the, Way
i'm looking this, Up Desmond bayne rob got four unprotected
first AND kcp And Cole anthon and that was one year.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Ago four. Unprotected The bucks got two Free. Gannis what mm.
Hmmm that's. Horrific. Man well to that line of, thinking
do you believe.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
That that is primarily the reason why The bucks did
not take The Jalen brown.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Deal, WELL i mean we're assuming That Jalen brown deal
was out. THERE i, mean according To shams it Was
Jalen brown in two First Jalen.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Brown, well you're Saying i'd rather lose and be a
race to the bottom and rebuild as quickly as possible
rather Than.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Well now that that's. Interesting hold, On, So.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Jalen brown's a FINALS, mvp he was a top he's
an ALL nba. Guy he was a top five finalist
for the MVV. DIS i think, so, YEAH i think
you could probably be a, contender a fringe contender in
The east With Jalen brown as your one if you
built around him. SMARTLY i just want to remind all
(21:07):
the morons When Jalen brunson was gotten by the next
you can't be your.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
One he's not even a two. Guys the league has.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Changed if you can figure out ways to build around your,
guy you can build a contender With Jalen. Brown the
problem is how quickly can they do? That can they
do that before he turns thirty? Three so, YEAH i
would have taken The Jalen brown deal over over with
The Miami heat. Deal that being, said do you got
to Pay Jalen? Brown what would you say you got
(21:36):
to pay? Him it's also seventy mil something like. That,
yeah let me see his age real, quick Because Jaalen
brown is.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
How much like thirty? League for a? Minute has he
been in the? League That he's twenty? Nine turns thirty In.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
October, Interesting so he's a Little he's about almost twenty
two months younger than y, honest not quite as good
as the, honest BUT I i, MEAN i think.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
He's still really. Good and the problem, is if You're,
yiannis you're going To miami where they had to give up.
Everything if you're going to The, celtics they sell would
have theoretically Had Derek, White Jason, Tatum Peyton, pritchard that's
a real. Team you would have gone to the. Finals.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yep, NOW i don't, know do you believe that deal
was out, there because if that's, true that's a colossal
whiff by The.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Bucks, Now i'll tell you it to me IF i
have no reason believe that it's not. TRUE i think
If sean's reporting, it then it's. TRUE i believe that
they decided to your original, point we would much rather
be bad and take The picks point of view of
it than Have Jalen brown as our. Centerpiece we're going
to be too good'll be stuck in purgatory like we
(22:44):
have been the last few. Years we're gonna be a, six,
seven eight, seed and we're going nowhere because the rest
of the.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Good The Detroit pistons won sixty games With Kid cunningham
as they're one And jalen in beef Stew Tobias. Harris
why Couldn't Jalen brown win win sixty games in The
east with the right guys.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Around becausejihannsuldn't do it And giannis is an objectively better
player Than Jaalen.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Brown, well he was. Hurt but the year, before what
seed were they? Sixeed i'd have to look five? Seed
was that the year The litler got?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Hurt? Uh they've had some, Unluckiness, yeah they have that some.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Money, wait so YOU'RE i, mean if, again if you
look at that roster With Jalen, brown the Hypothetical bucks,
roster and you, Said, OKAY i Got Jalen brown as
like my full crowme at the, three Gimme kuzma who
could shoot, threes stretch the.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Floor Myles turner could shoot, threes stretch the.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Floor my back court In milwaukee would Be i'd have, nothing.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Yea guess, what but guess?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
WHAT i would be able to find guys in the
draft with those two picks and, takes take some, flyers
OR i COULD i could you, know make some moves
again like The knicks made aggressive. Moves, yes and went
and Got ojan And obi And Karl Anthony towns and
traded For Michael.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Bridges at the, time people thought they were freaking. Crazy
they got their whole starting. Five, yeah, exactly. Exactly so
why couldn't The bucks do something like?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
That?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
NOW i guess the big hang up Is Jalen brunson
took a sh, it took a massive, haircut one hundred
and thirteen million dollars. Less Is Jalen brown doing?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
THAT i don't.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
KNOW i just saw a video of him saying he'll
go To china and play for four hundred mil if
they cut him the check right?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Now see that? Video is that new ro have you?
Seen is it? Older? New? NO i think it's. New.
Yeah he's like where he's like somewhere in you, Know
beijing or, whatever and he's, like, yeah write the check
for four hundred.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Mil i'll play In Jung, Wow Kung paow where he's you,
know just rattling off cities In. China he seems like
the kind of guy who had taken The Jalen brunson.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Deal do you know did you do?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
That? Now SO i guess from that point of, view it's, like,
WELL i don't, know could we build something around, HIM
i don't, know certainly better than what you could build
Around Tyler hero no hero and his ig Baby.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
MAMAS i don't, Know, bro it is a rough.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
One Fox Sports radio has the best sports talk lineup
in the. Nation catch all of our shows At Foxsports
radio dot com and within The iHeartRadio. App SEARCH fsr
to listen. Live what do you think of the other Trade?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Rob The Julius randall move which appeared to me to
be a precursor to something. Bigger Julius randall in a
three team deal With claxton going to The bulls from the.
Nets randall leaves The wolves and goes to the, nets
and then there's some draft picks swapped in a move
(25:42):
that you know you could kind of see. Coming randall
had a brew as good As randall was two years
ago against The, lakers remember That, Rob that was like the,
greatest maybe the highlight of his. Career he was as
bad in this past series against The Wemben yamlin. Company
and they ship him in his salary and now they
create a huge space where they can go get. Somebody
(26:03):
i'm guessing they're gonna go get a big wing To matthew.
McDaniels i've seen Some Dejonta murray. NOISE i didn't know
he was still a. Thing i've post. INJURY i hadn't
seen how he. DONE i don't think it was. Good
but what was your take on? That?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
WELL i was surprised That Julius rando was essentially salary.
DUMPED i, MEAN i say what you want About Julius,
rando but he is A i think a two Time
ALL nba, player AND i thought he would be better
than salary dump for whatever the twenty eighth pick or
whatever it. Was but, basically according everybody who covers The,
timberwolves the move was made because they wanted to re
Sign Ayu, desumu and they. Did they got that five,
(26:38):
year one hundred and twelve million dollar contract.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Of a forty three point, Game, yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Exactly and the other thing Is Dante DiVincenzo is gonna
be out for the. Season so in their, eyes they're, like,
hey we got Ant, man we Got, io we got
Nos reed slides up to the starting, lineup we Got jada,
McDaniels and we Got Rudy, gobert and now let's see
what we can do with this massive contract, exception you,
know and maybe they. CAN i don't know what their
pick situations, like maybe they can find a way again,
(27:04):
too The Trey Murphy. Sweepstakes maybe they can get into you,
Know Herb jones or whatever they're doing In New. Orleans
but they can find a way to be very scrappy
with their top six top.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
SEVEN i just don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Unless we whoever they, GET i don't know if that
particular group is much better Without Julius randall than they
were with.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
HIM i largely. AGREE i will say again The. Knicks you,
know you win a title and it kind of does
some wacky things for.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
You SO i just want to remind.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
People when the Next trader for ogn And obi and
gave him like two hundred twelve million. Dollars Og andnobi
had a grand total zero all star appearances Bright in's,
FACTS i mean, Zero that's. Insane and then you look
at you, Know jaden McDaniels And Julius randall and some
of these, guys and you're, like Man An wolf's had some,
dudes But devincenzo's out iod assume who basically got paid
(27:57):
off one GAME nba is.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Weird it is so.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Strange randall a salary. DUMP i mean he's been on
how many Team he's a.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Former, laker isn't He, Yeah, Lakers, Pelicans, Nicks, WOLVES i
believe are the teams he's been.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
On he's just one of these. Guys he's just a
volume scorer and go get your. Buckets In, brooklyn do
they still Have Michael Porter junior or they ship him?
Yet The brooklyn they still, Have, yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
So Mpj Julius.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Randall they got a metric ton of young, dudes none
of you who have accomplished.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Anything but they're all kind of like nice.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Prospects they'll be a league pass team where it's, like, oh,
yeah they only want thirty two. Games but you know
they were finn to watch.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Twenty.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
SEVEN i don't know they're gonna be, bad but they're
gonna be. Fun Aren't they gonna be one of the
worst teams of the. League, sure BUT i don't think
they're gonna be fifteen wins. Bad Julius randall And Michael
Porter junior are legitimate QUALITY nba, Players.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Well, yes but they are basically, like get me the
ball and they're black holes get.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Budgets that doesn't, win but it's on the walls. Games
so The pacers are not gonna be that. Bad The
wizards are probably gonna improve by twenty. Games rob they
signed three play Ad Trey. Debonza The bulls won thirty,
one so The nets are gonna be the worst team
in The, EAST i, think worse than The. Bucks and
(29:17):
in The west The jazz will be really. Good, wow forty.
Wins Good kings probably get a cuff in the draft.
Tonight grizzlies are trying to be aggressively. Bad, yeah let's
look at This bucks depth chart real, quick because you,
know we spent a lot of time on The.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Bucks Igor Demon, deman THE byu. Kid he's a good,
player but he's so, young, Right Drake? Powell is it
the kid From North? Carolina it? IS i did not
know he was a first round? Pick holy.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
COW i Like terren's man better coming off the. Bench
is that You're williams is. Good but, again these aren't
guys who are winning your thirty. Games then you GOT,
mpj then you Got randall and at center you Got
Danny wolf And dayron Sharp.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Man that is a brutal. Roster but they're gonna be
fun to. Watch, no they're. Not yes they. Will they're
not going to be, good but you will watch fewer
than seven minutes of The Brooklyn nets next. SEASON i
will take the over.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
On that IF i would, say, under they play the
four Pm pacific game on The West coast and in
the middle of the radio, show we have eight TVs
going at, once SO i will be able to watch
a lot Of Brooklyn nets.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Basketball i'll tell you that right. Now that's, Right, YEAH
i feel the. Excitement we touched on The Trey young.
DEAL i don't. Know he opted out of fifty three.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Million to get forty nine mili a year over for four.
Years i'm stunned that The wizards gave him. That the
only LOGIC i could come up.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
With rob, was, hey, guys you know we can't tank.
Anymore they kind of have stopped the. Tanking so we're
not paying anybody like literally.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Roster we might as well pay a guy who's won
a couple to see a playoff. Series he has been
to the conference, finals which is Something Joel embiid cannot.
Say and let's just go pay. Him it's not the
end of the.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
World, hey is there a scenario Where Trey young is
that Wurre Jalen brunson and around him we have Bilaal
kolibali who's a great, Defender Anthony, davison elite, Defender alex Sarr, AJ,
Debonsa Trey. Johnson we've got a bunch of, Wings Cam,
Whitmore i've always really liked him three AND d. Wing
(31:19):
we've got a lot of defenders and.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Wings let's put him next To Trey young and see
if it works and maybe they fall ass backwards into
forty two wins in the ninth.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
SEEDS i can see that.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Happening debons is gonna walk into the league and average
at least, fifteen fifteen and. Six and if ad you,
know he's going to be motivated to try to play
somewhere else sooner than. Later, Right SO i could see
The wizards being.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Good.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Absolutely Trey, YOUNG i know he's like a punchline now
because his defense is made fun of ON Nba, twitter
and you know he hasn't he didn't play much last.
Season but he is a walking like twenty two and twelve,
guy you, know because the way he plays his passing is.
Incredible he's a good score not as good of a
shooter as you would think based on his. Size if
(32:04):
it's a good, scorer and If Anthony davis can give.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
You you, know it sounds like a pipe.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Tream fifty five games they're gonna, win, Right they'll be
right around five, hundred because that is gonna be a
mini games fifty.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Five twenty five or fifty five by there'll be a
devastating pick and roll, team you.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Know, Again but if If Anthony davis wants to get,
out if they trade him this, offseason we'll. See but,
he's like you, said motivated to be in a better.
Situation he's gonna want to be, healthy if only to
elevate his trade value and go somewhere. Else Alex, SARR
i know people watch a lot of he's a good.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
PLAYER A. J debonsa is a very good. Player if
they're good, players what Is Austin reeves a very good?
Player what Is Bronnie? James by the, way it was
That Bronnie so, Again I'm i'm in the gym watching
volleyball for four. Days i'm not really on. IG i didn't.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Know So Ronnie james is getting married or he got
a girl pregnant or what is?
Speaker 3 (32:57):
That OH i saw.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
THAT i don't know how real it. Is, AGAIN i
don't follow him on the on the ye that could
have been, fake could have BEEN.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
AI i don't know. Anymore BUT i Think Brian james
is going to be in the rotation this.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Year.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Which rotation did rotation for The. LAKERS i think he's
gonna be a ten to fifty minute night. Guy You oh,
wow that's. Aggressive that's.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Aggressive that's such a low. Bar ten minutes on AN nba.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Roster that's that's a low. Bar that's an aggressive. Take.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yeah, SO i, MEAN i guess if you're looking at
the big, picture The Miami heat are still a playing.
Team The bucks did not win this trade until maybe
twenty thirty. One. MAYBE i mean at that, Point giannis
is going to be like back in Owning sicily or,
something and The sicily is not In.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Greece what AM i? Saying cicily Is. Italy he's going
to own somewhere In greece and not be in the.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
League what do you think of we could wrap Up
Rob what do you think.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
This means For?
Speaker 4 (33:50):
LEBRON i don't think it means anything For. Lebron, yeah
because he's either going to be A. Laker he's going
to be a warrior much it. Warrior he's not going
to go Back. East what you're smoking. Warrior it's where
else is he going to? Go he's gonna Follow Kevin durant's,
path not just.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Kidding.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Interesting so, now now the other thing THAT i should
add real quick is if you look at the financials
in This brooklyn, deal they are now they have less
cap space than they used to because they took On
randall and as a, result The bulls also Getting Nick,
claxton also have less cap. Space so the logic Is
(34:34):
Austin reeves is kind of off the table for those.
Guys now is it that they kick the tires On
Austin reeves And he's, like, NAH i don't want to
go TO i don't want to be. IRRELEVANT i want
to stay with The lakers and maybe take a little.
LESS i, mean The lakers kind of Have reeves over
a barrel now, Right, yeah much, easier much easier to deal.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
With them when you know he ain't going. NOWHERE i
don't know if somebody could come out of nowhere and afford,
him but those those were the two teams with cap
space that were supposed to be in the.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Mix SO i think now you get the hometown discount For.
REEVES i think you probably bring Back, lebron, right and
you have it a stup your sleeve that we don't
know yet but.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Could be something. Spicy give me your, name, mom give
me something. Spicy who does we?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Have we had somebody on who said something good about
Potentially lebron and The. Lakers who is the guy they
could add BECAUSE i don't think they're Adding Peyton.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Watson Tarry eason was the one That Jovon bucha.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
MENTIONED i, mean it's just gonna be this Second apron
is going to totally ruin so many. Teams you're gonna
see a lot of good players become. Available and we
got reporting now That houston is making everybody Except Aman thompson.
Available so it's, like, well who are they going? AFTER
i don't, know but they're just, saying, hey if you want,
(35:48):
to because everyone's so afraid of the Second apron that
they don't want to have three guys making forty to
fifty million dollars a. Season and if you already Got,
kdie you already Got, shingoon it's, like, well then one
of these young guys are gonna get, paid and next
thing you, know you're stuck with the big three and
dudes and nobody wants to do that. Anymore that's why
The lakers are hell bent on saying If lebron wants
(36:10):
to come, back we love to have, them but it's
got to be like twenty million. Dollars it's not going
to be fifty because otherwise we can't build a.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Competit as long as they tell him where they're spending
the money and what their game plan, IS, A b AND. C,
YEAH i don't think that's a. PROBLEM i Think lebron
would probably be amenable to. That like you, said his
son is going to be in the rotation this.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Year.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Bro come, on it's got to get. Excited, wow not
every day we can do. Well and we didn't even
really touch on the. Draft no, cheese you know.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Again BECAUSE i was out of. TOWN i don't have
any bet draft on. THAT i don't have any draft
bets made, yet BUT i. Will i'll be.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Looking at the lines today and put some on Ig
World cup betting has been pretty freaking. Phenomenal oh my,
Gosh i'm not quite a generational run by the. Way
