We are approaching the one month birthday 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:55.480 I guess of Mila, so you know, yeah, month day, 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.120 there you go. So that's coming up in five days. 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:00.920 And this is terrible. 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:06.480 Four because it was Monday, and I'm just thinking Monday 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:11.079 is four days away. The Monday not four days away. 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:15.480 Definitely, Monday is four days away. You're definitely tripping though 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.200 on a bunch of front. She was not born on 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:18.639 a Monday. I understand for you. 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.640 It was fog of Oh, it was Sunday. It was 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:26.320 it was it was a long, long yeah. 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.920 But also that's not really like the it's not gonna 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.560 be Sunday to Sunday because that's just twenty eight days, 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:37.239 so like her the but regardless, that's coming up, still 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:41.000 coming back at work, back here, parenting the whole nine. 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.800 So we've got all that going on. A ton to 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:48.080 get to today with the single biggest NFL weekend of 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.960 the year. We're gonna get into that sum today and 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:55.639 some and tomorrow's show. Also, we will do whittling down 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.000 the twenty five Hall of Fame semi finalist two hour 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.040 five to actually make the Hall of Fame something we 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:07.480 remarkably went perfect on the last time we did it. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:11.680 We went five for five with it. Would shocked me 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:15.160 as much as anybody because that's a damn near impossible 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:19.600 thing to predict unless it's no brainers. But there's never 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.120 no brainers because so many guys feel like no brainers. 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.840 So we'll do that, and we will start the show 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.680 with is Jannis finally going to be traded? But before 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.679 we get to that, straight to voicemail presented to you 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:38.280 by Boost Mobile. Terrence Crawford stripped of his WBC title 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.800 because he wouldn't pay some sanctioning fees. It's so stupid. Listen, 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.400 I'm not gonna I haven't researched this enough to know 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.320 if Terrence is in the wrong, But even if he's 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:51.040 in the wrong, I'm on bud side. Like the guys. 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:55.520 The biggest star boxing has had in a decade. It's 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.480 awesome that he has all these championship belt someone else 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:02.120 pay those fees. Lakers Celtics preview. We're not going to 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:06.040 get to that. However, I will say, you know, Luca 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:11.320 in Slovenia for the birth of his child reportedly, which 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:15.040 was a little surprising that the mother of his child 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.719 doesn't live here. I think it's his girlfriend. I should 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.600 have researched this more in the States, but regardless, so 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.520 he's gonna miss some Dina Celtics playing really well and 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:29.360 the Clippers move on from Chris Paul in embarrassing, very 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.760 clipperish fashion. And I understand that it would appear Lawrence 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.880 Frank has just a ton of friends in the media. 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.000 But at some point someone be like, oh, he's been 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:45.960 running that team for a decade, has had limitless resources 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:50.720 in a huge market, and they've never competed for anything. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.480 This year's team has been an embarrassment from the word go. 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:59.200 They did create a dynasty potentially, but it's in Oklahoma City. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.760 Like anybody gonna be like, hey, Lawrence Frank, let's check 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.560 the Ledger on good move, bad move, franchise altering, disaster move, 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.760 and you guys can't figure out I understand, if you 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:13.600 guys were good and Chris Paul was a nuisance, it's 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.760 one thing. But when you're five and sixteen to be like, yeah, 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.320 Chris Paul's been a pain in the ass behind the scenes. 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.159 Well maybe he's just listen to him, like, what's the 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.320 worst gonna happen if for him just being like, ah, 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.640 we'll try it Chris his way. So there's that reminder 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:32.000 everybody like rate subscribe to you demons, let's talk you honest. 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.880 Yeah. So on Tuesday, we talked about how impossible it 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.240 was for Giannis to be catching Lebrono in that all 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.200 time season points. Today we're gonna be talking about how 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.120 possible it is that he's leaving Milwaukie. Do you think 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.400 that's gonna eventually happen? His agent and the Bucks are 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.640 talking about his future there. Janna seems a little fake too, 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:52.919 What do you mean? I don't know. I feel like 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.960 he says one thing and he always means another thing. 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:56.640 Like I feel like he did the same thing with 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.560 the like Drew Holiday trade. I feel like he did 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.240 the same thing with this offseason. Anything he wants to 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.040 be there and like he kind of hasn't wanted to 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:04.599 be there the entire time. 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.120 So this kind of goes back to the Lane Kiffen thing. 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:16.560 It's very important in life to learn at an early age. 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:26.440 Nobody gets everything. Nobody gets everything, and there is there 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:34.159 are trade offs that adults have to make where they 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:38.359 do the old cliche pros and cons list, and you 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:43.039 determine what matters most to you and what will make 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:49.600 you happiest and act accordingly. And when you say Yannis 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:55.640 has seemed a little fake, what I think is causing 0:06:55.720 --> 0:07:01.640 that is he wants to be beloved in Millilwaukee and 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:06.360 doesn't want to play for Milwaukee anymore, and he I 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:13.680 think recognizes those two things might be in conflict. Now, 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:17.040 I don't think he would ever be reviled or hated 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:22.200 in Milwaukee at large. He's a franchise legend. He delivered 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:26.160 them their only championship since Kareem there. You know, he 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:30.600 has been a great NBA citizen and an even greater 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.840 NBA player or vice versa, however you want to look 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.480 at it. He's one of the twenty greatest players ever. 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:43.600 All of that is that cement is dry, but I 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:50.880 think he understands that. In whatever is left of his prime, 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:55.760 which could be, you know, up to four years. Maybe 0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:00.480 he might have that much longer in his prime. This 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.760 buck seems not going to be able to compete for anything. 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:08.320 They have mortgaged and second mortgaged and taken out payday 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:13.960 loans on the future, and those bills have all slowly 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:18.360 but surely come do. And so I think it's pretty 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:23.640 clear he does want out, and I think it's also 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.440 pretty clear he doesn't know exactly how to do that, 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:32.400 because he doesn't want to just straightforward to a trade demand. 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:39.400 But we are inching towards it, so in today's NBA, 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.640 and by the way, it should also be noted, last 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:47.840 night it looked like he might have suffered a catastrophic injury, 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:53.040 the dreaded non contact look back did someone kick me reaction, 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:59.160 which everybody these days knows that is part and parcel 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.240 with an achilles tear. But we've now had back to 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.480 back big time athletes in a couple of weeks have 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:10.320 that exact reaction to what appears to be that injury, 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:14.439 and for both of them it was the far less 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.960 serious but still very scary calf strain to what happened 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.920 with Sauce Gardner. A couple of weeks ago and to 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:28.120 I'm with Giannis last night, and so I talked with Uh, yeah, 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:34.240 I'm allowed to say this. I actually oddly randomly, Uh no, 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.920 I'm not gonna say who it was. I talked with 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:42.080 one of the greatest athletes ever, uh, in real time 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:50.400 about Tyrese Haliburton's achilles right when it happened, and that 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:56.200 what that person said was in our game, the calf 0:09:56.240 --> 0:10:02.240 strain is the new I think he said acl not 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.920 in that you're out of year with it, but it's 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:11.240 the most dreaded injury. And it's because there's no way 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.760 this again, this was this guy's opinion, but he would 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:19.960 know there's no way to rehabit. You simply have to 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:24.960 stay off it. So I think Yannis, like, here's the 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.680 thing that I think is noteworthy and why I wanted 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:36.040 to start with this. It is very possible that last 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:42.440 night was Yannis's last game with the Bucks. That's on 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:46.800 the board. I might even go as far as to 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:56.920 say it's the most likely reality because if he has 0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:01.880 to miss weeks, maybe up to a month with a 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:06.760 calf strain, and obviously he and Milwaukee are going to 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:14.360 want to be incredibly cautious with this, then come December fifteenth, 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:21.560 you know, that's eleven days away, and that's when everybody 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.320 who signed this offseason is eligible to be traded. More 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:29.160 people are eligible to be traded starting the beginning of January, 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.920 and this just could happen in the next month. And 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.760 at this point, I think it is going to happen. 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.400 In the next month. Where do you think will be 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:41.600 the best landing spot for him? 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:49.920 So ESPN credit to them, did a good job putting 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:55.760 together five trades. And this is why I'm I really 0:11:55.800 --> 0:12:00.840 want to credit them, because with the new CBA and 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:07.640 the aprons, it is very difficult to construct trades that 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:13.480 actually work. So these five ESPN trades, Bobby Marx has 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:18.360 given them the stamp of yes, the CBA would allow it. 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:28.679 The off the board most interesting one that I actually 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:37.240 think might be the most win win, have a chance 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:44.040 to compete, go on deep playoff runs, and you could 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:50.600 sell it to both fan bases, and sadly is the 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:57.040 least likely to happen is Giannis to the Hawks. So 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:03.480 here is ESPN's trade, as follows Jannis and Cole Anthony 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:09.640 for salary reasons for Trey Young and Resa Shay. So 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.880 the number one overall pick from a couple of years 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.560 ago in Resa Shay, Trey Young, who's got a couple 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:19.760 of years left on his deal, and then some really 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:27.839 juicy picks, most notably the first round pick the Pelicans 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:33.040 traded to the Hawks, which, keep in mind, here's why 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:37.679 that trade is so interesting for Milwaukee. That first round 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:42.480 pick the Pelicans traded to the Hawks, demons is the 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:49.080 better of New Orleans is picked this year or Milwaukee's 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:49.920 pick this year. 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.040 Yeah, So what Milwaukee. 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:57.760 Would right, what Milwaukee would then allow for is if 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:02.840 by trading Yannis you fall apart in the short term, 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:09.240 you then have the Pelicans ping pong balls and your 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:16.760 own ping pong balls, right, and whichever is the best 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:18.960 of those two, you get that pick in this draft. 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:27.920 Atlanta also has twenty twenty seven first round pick top 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:33.040 four protected in this trade. That is again, well, this 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.440 is the worst of the Pelicans in the Bucks, but 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.240 maybe you could sweeten it to the better of and 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:43.680 then a couple other picks. So that to me is 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:49.880 really interesting. If you keep Jalen Johnson, you keep Dyson, uh, 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:56.800 Milwaukee then can maybe flip Trey Young as well. And 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.520 Resa Schey was the number one pick of a draft 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:05.920 and Atlanta, which has proven they're just as good with 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:10.560 or without Trey Young this season, maybe better without him. 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:15.240 Janis Jalen Johnson, Porzingis when he's out there. It's a 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.920 very interesting team in a wide open East and with 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.600 flexibility moving forward. So that's the one that makes the 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:27.640 most sense for everybody. I don't know that I think 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:35.800 that one is realistic in that I don't know if 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:40.960 that's something Yannis would sign off on. Yeah, and but 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.240 I think that's the best Milwaukee. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.320 Can and doesn't it. It has seemed like Yannis has 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:49.000 wanted to play for a big market team so the 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:52.280 way that he talks, and that might right. 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:56.600 And Atlanta is bigger than Milwaukee obviously, but it's not 0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:01.200 like the Marquee market. I also think Atlanta is more 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:09.040 attractive to American born NBA stars than international So I 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.480 think that. But from a basketball perspective, you stay in 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:17.000 the Eastern Conference, the team keeps really good pieces. I 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.000 think there's a lot of reasons for it. The next 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.520 ra ESPN brings up, it's the one we talked about 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:26.800 all summer, which was Yannis to the Rockets. Here's the thing, 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:31.480 so this is Yannis and his brother for Shoon and 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.200 Van Vliet, who's obviously out for the year with an injury, 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:42.160 and one first round pick. I don't love this for 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:47.880 either team. Yeah, to be totally honest, I don't think 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:56.080 that's quite enough. Demon's if you're Milwaukee. As much as 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.800 I love I love Shoon, that's to me not enough 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:04.000 because you've traded away so many of your own future picks, 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:08.600 like you need more draft capital. And if I'm Houston, 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:13.879 I'm like, man, I'm all of a sudden getting really old, 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:17.320 Like I already have Durant. Now I'm adding a guy 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:18.560 in year thirteen. 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:22.160 Yah, I promise, yeah right. 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:26.480 It doesn't. Right now as is, we have the number 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:31.000 one offense in all of basketball and we're doing it 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.560 without a point guard because Shingoon kind of plays that. 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:39.120 So that's just if I'm Houston. And the other thing 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:43.240 is if I'm in the West this year, I don't 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.720 know that I want to push all my chips in 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:51.480 this year because I might feel like, Okayc's just sitting 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:55.640 there anyway. So I loved that this offseason, I don't 0:17:55.680 --> 0:18:03.240 love it as much now that the next tray ESPN had, 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:08.280 And again I usually like to make my own trades, 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:13.520 but the CBA is so restrictive and there's only a 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.320 handful of teams that this would make sense for that 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:20.320 It didn't make sense for me. I would have come 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.600 up with these. Everybody's talking about these same four or 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.560 five teams, and if we're talking about the same teams, 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.439 we're all gonna be talking about the same players. So 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.840 I'll just give Kevin Pelton and Bobby Marks their their 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.879 credit for getting this out there and crib off their work. 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:41.280 The next one de Mond's is the Knicks Yannis and 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:46.960 Sims again for salary reasons. Sims back to New York, 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:51.240 by the way, for Karl Anthony, Towns collect Diadet. So 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:56.480 it's really Yannis for Towns plus a twenty twenty six 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.480 first round pick that won't be a first round pick 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:04.320 because it's the Wizard's pick that's top eight protected, and 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:07.800 where are the Wizards? So like that that one's that's 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.679 a fake good pick. Like let me just look at 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.120 the standings real quick. Yeah, the Wizards where I thought 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:16.080 they would be, where they always are dead last. So 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:24.960 that that that the and then some pick swaps and 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:28.920 and just really just pick swaps so that's the problem. 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:35.000 The problem for Milwaukee getting to getting Yannis Demons, I'm 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:39.560 sorry the Knick's getting Yannis is it's really just Yannis 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:45.440 for Towns straight up, with likely no extra picks, Right man, 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:51.200 that's a tough cell. Yeah, that's a really tough sell 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.359 if you're Milwaukee. 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.639 Yeah, go ahead. Well, yeah, I was gonna say, and 0:19:57.680 --> 0:19:59.960 you might. I think Karl Anthony Towns is the better shot. 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:06.000 Obviously is the more physical, imposing player, but is a. 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:07.040 Way better player. 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:08.560 Oh yeah, it would change. 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:12.400 You would lose shooting, you would lose some spacing, there's 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:16.240 no doubt about it. But if the Knicks could flip 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:21.000 Towns for Giannis, and that's the only rotation pieces they're trading, 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:26.159 they become the overwhelming Eastern Conference favorites over the Jalen 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:30.480 Brunson and Gianni's running pick. Like, there's overwhelming. I just 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:37.560 they traded all those picks away for Bridges. And so 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:45.520 the only way Yannis goes there is if he says 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:48.080 that's the only place I want to go, and Milwaukee 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:55.120 bends to it. So there's two more the Spurs. They 0:20:55.119 --> 0:21:02.160 can include a bunch of picks, and again, it would 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:05.920 be a real negotiation. Are you including Castle or are 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:12.159 you including uh Dylan Harper? Are you are we trading 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:23.920 dearon Fox. That's the one that if if I were Milwaukee, 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:29.560 I would be interested in if I could get Harper 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:35.720 instead of Castle, And if I were san Antonio, I 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:38.480 might look at it like this, Man. 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:41.040 I do not know. 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:51.480 How long Wimby's prime is gonna be. Like I think 0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:55.240 that is. I think because of his size and already 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:59.280 the injury stuff, I think that like you can't treat 0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:03.480 with MBI's timeline like Cooper Flags or like. 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.480 A traditional Basically when it comes to trading, I can 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:09.040 actually think about putting him in or. 0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:12.520 No no, no, no, no, I'd never trade him. What 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:16.359 I'm saying is, I'm saying I think sometimes when you 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.280 have a great really young players not yet to his prime, 0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:22.119 you're like, let's wait to make the move. 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:25.200 Okay, So you're saying, like move now, back now. 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:28.960 I'm saying, accelerate. I'm saying I'm saying, if you're san Antonio, 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:33.679 it might make sense to accelerate because you don't know 0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:38.960 if in ten years what you know your best chance 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:41.160 to win might be right. You know, the next four 0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:45.480 years or something, so that to me is an interesting one. 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:54.040 But again, does Yannis want to go uh from Milwaukee 0:22:54.400 --> 0:23:01.600 to San Antonio? And does Yannis want to spend the 0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:06.119 end of his prime as maybe the second guy on 0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:10.880 a team? I don't know. And then the last one 0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:17.120 is Golden State, which I just don't understand why Milwaukee 0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:22.800 would do this. This is Draymond, Kaminga and Healed, none 0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:27.920 of which are at this point in their careers useful 0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:32.080 players like at a high level without Steph without you know, 0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:37.600 somebody that creates the offense. Draymond's super useful in his role, 0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:40.639 but on a bad team. And then a bunch of 0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:47.240 first round picks. I totally get why the Warriors would 0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:56.080 do this, but I don't. I don't. I don't know why. 0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.560 And I feel like Draymond going to another team that 0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:01.960 definitely stunts a much longer tas in. 0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:06.199 The league, I think they'd buy Yeah, and I you 0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:09.639 know Draymond, you would then maybe flip Draymond to a 0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:13.560 contender that could want because he's Draymond's still super useful 0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:15.760 if you're playing big basketball games. 0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:20.800 Yeah, and all that stuff, but yeah. 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:23.399 And so and if I'm Milwaukee, I don't know that 0:24:23.520 --> 0:24:26.040 I want a bunch of first round picks from Golden 0:24:26.080 --> 0:24:30.399 State when I know Golden State's got that ownership, that coach, 0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:33.960 and going to have Giannis even when Steph is gone. 0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:39.480 So Atlanta is the best trade. Houston's the most interesting. 0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:43.080 The Knicks are far and away the worst trade and 0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:49.480 would only happen if Jannis demands it and and Milwaukee 0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:54.920 Acquiesces and then I don't see the Warriors and the Spurs. 0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:57.960 One really depends on how aggressive the Spurs. 0:24:57.640 --> 0:24:58.600 Want to be. 0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:05.119 So but I think Giannis. My big takeaway Demons is 0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:09.040 I think we now it is more likely than not 0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:14.360 that the next game, because of the injury last night, 0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:20.000 the next game Yannis plays in the NBA will be 0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:24.280 for a different team, which is crazy.

All right, let's talk about tonight's football game. 0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:13.080 Demansey and Jerry Jones is already talking playoffs. But they 0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:16.080 have the Lions tonight, and if they play Lions and 0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:18.240 they lose the playoff, what do you call it? The 0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:20.840 playoff simulator that's putting it to under ten percent that 0:27:20.880 --> 0:27:23.160 they make it if they lose tonight. Do you think 0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:25.080 we're done talking about Dallas for this season? 0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:32.080 I don't, and here's why. So it's very simple. Dallas 0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:35.760 needs two more wins than Philly the rest of the 0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:40.960 way in order to steal the division. So if Dallas 0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:45.320 goes five and zero and Philly goes three and two, 0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:49.160 Dallas wins the division three and two or worse. Obviously, 0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:54.880 if Dallas goes four and one and Philly goes two 0:27:55.000 --> 0:28:02.960 and three, Dallas steals the division even If the Cowboys 0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:11.600 lose tonight, they then go home Vikings home Chargers tough 0:28:12.440 --> 0:28:17.000 at the Commander's short week Christmas, don't know, you know 0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:20.399 what the Commanders will look like at that point, should 0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:25.120 have Jayden back, and then at Giants. I think the Cowboys, 0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:28.520 even if they lose tonight, have a chance to go 0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:32.600 four and one, and Philly, on the other hand, has 0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:37.199 a handful of Oh well, given how they've been playing, 0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:41.480 they could lose that at the Chargers Monday night, obviously 0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:44.680 they could lose home for the Raiders, you can't lose, 0:28:45.000 --> 0:28:48.520 but then at Washington at the Bills, and then home 0:28:48.560 --> 0:28:54.560 for Washington. So even if the Cowboys lose tonight, I 0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:58.440 don't think we're gonna be done talking about them, even 0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:00.880 though at that point, if they lose tonight, they're gonna 0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:04.920 have to basically, you know, draw to an inside straight. 0:29:05.000 --> 0:29:08.240
