Speaker 1: Brake was breaking down all the biggest NBA storylines, So
Speaker 1: the heat Check. The heat Chack was Crista Craker, the
Speaker 1: best podcast covering all the drama around the association.
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Bucks, Let's move forward? Boy, oh boy, are they exciting?
Speaker 1: Huh?
Speaker 2: Key editions Malik Beasley, Robin Lopez, Campaign, Damien fucking Lollard
Speaker 2: and Adrianne Griffin. The coach Key subtractions Budenholzer, Drew Holliday
Speaker 2: and Grayson Allen. I didn't know. I didn't know if
Speaker 2: John Horsse would do it. Giannis was basically screaming to
Speaker 2: do something. Hey, I'm gonna leave, make make us a contender,
Speaker 2: show me that you love me, show me that you're serious,
Speaker 2: show me that you're gonna do something for me. And
Speaker 2: they did just that. In the middle of a very
Speaker 2: sleepy off season, the Milwaukee Bucks. They put their big
Speaker 2: boy pants on to get one of the best pier
Speaker 2: scores in the league and a player that could get
Speaker 2: you bucket and crunch time, which they've never had since Yannis.
Speaker 2: Was there a guy that you can call on? It's
Speaker 2: game time, put your watch on, put your finger to
Speaker 2: the watch. It's dame time. Yeah, one of the best.
Speaker 2: You trade in one of the best perimeter defenders in
Speaker 2: the league for a guy who you can count on
Speaker 2: in the playoffs to get you a bucket. Why Because
Speaker 2: that offense, that half court offense, was abysmal. And just
Speaker 2: like that, Yana signs the extension. He lied, he said,
Speaker 2: I'm not signing it until next season. Doesn't make any
Speaker 2: sense for me. I need bigger money than that. YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 2: And just at the deadline at the strike of midnight,
Speaker 2: almost three years, one hundred and eighty six million dollars.
Speaker 2: It keeps him in Milwaukee, which will reportedly pay him
Speaker 2: eighty million dollars in his final year. That is a
Speaker 2: shitload of cheddar, shitload of cheese kurts, Milwaukee fans, Are
Speaker 2: you serious? That is how you keep the Greek free cappy.
Speaker 2: Give him what he wants. That's a lot of oreos.
Speaker 2: That man loves him off. Some Chick fil A. That's
Speaker 2: a lot of chicken tenders. And if you think the
Speaker 2: eighty million for Yannis is maybe too much money, because
Speaker 2: it might be too much money for any human. News
Speaker 2: broke today that Yannis brings two billion dollars in value
Speaker 2: to the Milwaukee Bucks. That's why our man Slazary and
Speaker 2: the Haslums, the owners the Bucks, they were like, yo,
Speaker 2: you better lock his ass up two billion, give him
Speaker 2: whatever he wants. His contract extension is less than ten
Speaker 2: percent of that. So Yannis could legitimately make like one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million dollars a year and he would
Speaker 2: still be underpaid. Honestly, the offense to me is gonna
Speaker 2: be fucking fun. The pick and roll is going to
Speaker 2: be so deadly. Let's put it this way. Blazer's average
Speaker 2: one point one to three points per possession when Lillard
Speaker 2: was the ball handler in pick and roll situations last year,
Speaker 2: which means points points points points points. That's what they're getting.
Speaker 2: The points are coming for our Bucks. Baby. Yiannis is
Speaker 2: going to be so wide open. He's never even seen
Speaker 2: such a thing. Honestly, been thinking about it. Johannis to
Speaker 2: win MVP is a real thing. Johannis to win Defensive
Speaker 2: Player of the Year is a real thing. He is
Speaker 2: going to score. Gone to the days. If we just
Speaker 2: build a wall around Yannis, make him be a free
Speaker 2: throw shooter. No, no, sir, no, no sir. How can
Speaker 2: you double Damian Lillard and double Jannis. That means a
Speaker 2: lot of my man Bobby Portis in the corner, whap
Speaker 2: three whap Middleton. Middleton, one of the best catch and
Speaker 2: shoot shooters in the league, is going to get so
Speaker 2: many of those opportunities it's insane. Defensively, I'm sus Dame
Speaker 2: says he's going to be a pop plus defender. I
Speaker 2: will believe it when I see it. He's going to
Speaker 2: get cooked like barbecue chicken. The good news, though, is
Speaker 2: that they have a pretty good front court defensively with
Speaker 2: Brook Lopez, Bobby Portis and Jannis. Chris Middleton, like I said,
Speaker 2: he's going to be open a lot. But how's his
Speaker 2: knee because he's currently dealing with his annual Oh something's
Speaker 2: wrong with Chris Middleton's knee prognosis, and that scares me.
Speaker 2: I like the Campaign pickup. I like the Beasley pick up.
Speaker 2: The Milwaukee depth is not as bad as you would think,
Speaker 2: considering that they have a bunch of all stars on
Speaker 2: this team. This team's a contender absolutely. The thing though,
Speaker 2: that gives me great pause about Milwaukee is the fact
Speaker 2: that Adrian Griffin is a new head coach and he
Speaker 2: clearly is on some power struggle bullshit. He is literally
Speaker 2: on the I am new to the job, so I'm
Speaker 2: gonna tell you I'm in charge. I am gonna let
Speaker 2: you know who's wearing the big balls here. And so
Speaker 2: Terry Stotts, who coached Damian Lillard for nine years, comes
Speaker 2: to the team right before Dame gets traded and then
Speaker 2: Adrian Griffin yells at him about some nonsense and Terry
Speaker 2: Stotts is like, yeah, I'm done with this shit. That
Speaker 2: gives me great pause. It is this I have to
Speaker 2: assert my dominance because I'm new at the job kind
Speaker 2: of vibe. So all the Bucks are real. They're about
Speaker 2: as real as it gets. I don't know if any
Speaker 2: team in the East is as good as the Nuggets,
Speaker 2: but I tell you what, this Bucks team is gonna
Speaker 2: be fun and Dame time on the East Coast will
Speaker 2: be a must see. That is all the time that
Speaker 2: we have for this episode of the Heat Check. Come
