Speaker 1 (00:08):
Yeah, you showed me a number today that the Spurs,
according to the Boys in the Desert, are the second
most favored team to get Yannis in the trade. Now,
I'm going to go back to what I said a
minute ago. The only reason the Spurs are being looked
at by and I'm sure the Bucks are trying to
see if there's a way to figure this out. But

(00:28):
the whole, this whole concept is the Bucks need draft
picks and the Spurs have like one hundred of them
for the next seven years. And but what the Bucks
want is another twenty five. They they could draft two
players in twenty five in the first and second round
and hope that all four players are roster spots and
do the same thing next year. And if they can

(00:50):
have from a team or teams a total of five
or six picks to move off of Giannis and then
whatever it takes to match the salaries, that's a good
deal for Milwaukee. And if Jannis ends up on a
team that's going to have a chance to win, that's
good for him. And obviously the Lakers, Miami, Golden State,
Houston are teams that would be opportunities for him to win,

(01:13):
but they don't have the money to match. Now the
Clippers do zubots I just did one with zubots Pale
and Begdanovic could go to Milwaukee and Milwaukee doesn't care
what they get in return. They're just swapping money for
money what they wanted the draft picks, and if they
get a player that can give them a little bit
of time, great, But they're hoping for expiring contracts so

(01:36):
they can retool the roster over the next two to
three years. And if they can find players that have
one or two years left on their contract, then they can.
They those are easy to move off of or either
to buy out or to or to trade or to
wait for the contract to expire.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, that that's going to be the biggest thing is
do they if they decide to move off of Giannis,
do they decide to say, Hey, we're just going to
blow the whole thing up and we're just going to
restart and hope that Damian Lillard, We're gonna, you know,
try to work around Damian Lillard, hoping that he's going
to come back. Do they want to go all young

(02:16):
like how Houston is and just maybe suffer. Do they
want to you know, hover around the five hundred whatever.
I don't know, but picks. Why, Well, what Milwaukee cares.
What Milwaukee's goal should be is to be a lottery team.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
The next two years. They yeah, after this year, they should.
They should hope that they don't win enough games to
be in the lottery. And then that will happen if
if Lillard can't play and they trade Donna's The Lillard
trade was created so that Jannis would have somebody to
help him win and to have a running mate exactly,
which they and it's an expensive one. And and if

(02:53):
Lillard wasn't was healthy, I think he would be tradeable too.
You could trade two forty eight million dollars players and
get a lot of capital for that. But now that
he's hurt, the only one that you're going to be
able to trade is Giannis, and he's going to have
to make a decision.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah, I'll stay here for the rebuild.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Let's let's see if we can move off Dame and
we'll We'll suck for a couple of years. But the
league doesn't want one of its star international players that
is that's not in the playoffs. They Giannis belongs to
the playoffs. It's good for TV ratings. Yeah, so they
want him in Houston, they want him in San Francisco
or La or Miami or you know, I have a
look to see what the Knixt situation is. Maybe could

(03:29):
go there. But whatever wherever he goes, he's got He's
not going to want to leave there and then go
to a bad team. All right, speaking of the of
international players, looks like that Adam Silver is ready to
experiment again with the NBA All Star Game next year
and the twelve best international players are going to take
on the twelve All Stars from Team America. So we

(03:51):
were looking at this today as potential rosters for the
World team versus Team USA. Yep, the World team would
have the likes of Shape, Gogus, Alexander Luka, Doncic, Jokicic,
Jannis Wimby, shn Goon, Murray, and Gobert.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
That's the biggest ones.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
And you and I were sitting here trying to think
of what the other what other potential ones? And I'm
sure there's some that off.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Are got any other other international players on your mind?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Ty?

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Who are we missing? As far as BIG's go, You're anything? Anybody?
Any we got?

Speaker 1 (04:24):
We got Shay Luca jokicch Gianni's Wimby, shin Gun, Murray
and Gobert.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
I half heartedly joked with Andy.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I was like, depending on his mood, you could maybe
include Joel EMBII if he wants to be born that day.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
So yeah, that was the confusing part because he played
for Team USA last so I was putting him in
the USA category based on his last decision. Yeah, so
yeah with him, and who knows that he actually wants
to play basketball, So that's all.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, I think he wants to retire.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
All right, Team USA, assuming all these players are healthy
and available next year, you got Curry, Lebron, Davis, Edwards, Tatum,
Maxi yeah, kay, Cunningham, Cooper Flag yep. Karl Anthony Towns
your favorite player, Devin Booker, yep, Chat Holmgren, Jaron Jackson,
Junior Jaw Jaw, Leonard Harden.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Lots of guards. That's a lot of guards, a lot
of guards. We're not gonna be able to get any rebounds. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
You know, hey, Karl Anthony Towns and Anthony Davis, you're
gonna be playing forty five minutes in an All Star Game.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Because it's been because Jannas and Luca and and uh
and Youkic and Winby are gonna get all the rebound.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, we're gonna have the half hearted joking of you
know what was it last year or no, two years ago?
I think it was either a preseason game or or
a regular season game when uh, Steph Curry uh decided
to jokingly do the jump ball against Wimby, you know,
the tip, and it's like.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
That's kind that's what it's gonna be.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
It's like, oh, yes, Steph Curry is going to be
trying to guard Victor women Yama or Nicola Jokis.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
They guarded Buddy in an All Star game.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Anyway exactly, But it's just gonna be like that or
not actually trying.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
We're just trying something else to make people watch for
half an hour.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Well, we also forgot the potential maybe Steph Castle as well.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, and Fox or ties guy Donovan Mitchell.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Where does I would assume sabonas would be Team International?

Speaker 3 (06:22):
I forgot to see.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
You can also include Evan Mobley in that conversation for
Team USA and Big Jared Allen.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Don't reboundy purposes.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Don't get me wrong, I love my Longhorn. Jared Allen
in the throw that he rocks. But Jared Allen's not
an All Star. Well, right now, we don't care. We
just need bodies.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
We're building a team that can compete with Team Team International.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Forgot about Tyrese Halliburton, apparently the most overrated player in
the world. I'm sorry. You know guy averages twenty nineteen
to twenty points in less than one turnover a game.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Oh yeah, over, I know him on my team. Don't
want him? Yeah, I don't want him on my team.
But here, here, here's what I said. Here, here's the deal.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
I haven't watched all right, let me be I have
not appointment viewed the All Star Game in a long time,
because television really sucks these days. And unless there's something
on some app that you can watch or some streaming service,
you're probably watching reruns of a Lot of Order SVU,
or you're watching the movie that you've seen on Showtime
three hundred and fourteen times, s Ourship Troopers. There there's

(07:27):
there's not a whole lot of entertainment on TV. So
this will at least get me to not necessarily appointment
view it. But I'll tune in for five or ten
minutes and see if there's and maybe maybe you have
here's the deal. Let's put Draymond Green on Team USA
just so he can agitate Team Europe and our team
International and uh and maybe we'll have have a little

(07:50):
fun there.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
At this point, it's just like, let's go get Will
Ferrell's Jackie.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Let's let's have Yeah, let's have let's wrestle a bear. Yeah,
let's Draymond and Dylan.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
No, Draymond and Draymond and Gobert. Remember that one. No, No,
I would do. I would do Dylan Brooks and Draymond Green.
If you wanted to go go bear, it would be
Luca and Rudy Gobert.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah. But anyway, that's what team.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's what the the All Star Game may look like
coming up next year versus West.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Simple.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
If they're not doing that, this is if they're already
reporting that this is what they're thinking about.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Then this is what they're gonna do.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
So you're gonna have to wait till twenty twenty seven
for East versus West. Yeah, all right, Luca did something nice.
We'll tell you about that. We'll talk about replays coming
up as well.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
All that. Straight ahead, it's five forty five on the
ticket
