Could be something, Could be nothing!?! Reports say the Milwaukee Bucks want to meet with Giannis Antetokounmpo this week to discuss his future... However, Giannis hosted a Twitter Q&A, he says Florida cities make him the happiest to be there. Leroy refuses to take the bait while Tobin runs on delusion.
03:59You think there's a Tobin in New York that's doing could be something, could be nothing.
04:05With one of his favorite places to play in the world being New York.
04:09Where's his favorite place to play on?
04:11Careful now.
04:12Because words matter.
04:13On the road.
04:14On the road.
04:15I said that.
04:16No, no.
04:16You said in the world.
04:17You said in the world.
04:17Oh, I meant on the road.
04:19On the road.
04:20Which means.
04:20I like to dabble there every once in a while.
04:23Yeah.
04:23But does it make me happy?
04:25A lot of people say that their favorite place to play is Madison Square Garden.
04:27It's not an original answer.
04:29Right.
04:29It's not an original answer.
04:30What cities bring me happiness?
04:33What place brings me happiness?
04:34Where it's warm.
04:35Florida cities.
04:36Florida cities.
04:38Yeah.
04:38No, no.
04:38Not where it's warm.
04:39Yep.
04:39Yep.
04:39Phoenix is warm.
04:40Phoenix is warm.
04:41Texas is warm.
04:42Very warm.
04:42California is warm.
04:44Yeah.
04:45Yana said Florida.
04:46Florida.
04:47The sunshine state.
04:49Yeah.
04:50Only two options.
04:51So, I'm just asking you.
04:52Okay.
04:53We'll say, yes, they probably are, Leroy.
04:55That being said, we're not them.
04:57Be a grown up and answer the question.
05:00Could be something.
05:01Could be nothing.
05:01I probably know where you're going to lean because it's always where you lean.
05:03Let's do that.
05:04But what do you make of that?
05:06Nothing.
05:07It's answering the question.
05:09Wrong.
05:11Don't tell me.
05:11Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
05:13Wrong.
05:13Don't tell me I'm wrong.
05:14I just did.
05:15Wrong.
05:16Then why didn't you say this segment is Tobin's something?
05:23No, no, no.
05:24That's not the segment.
05:24The segment is could be something, could be nothing.
05:26Well, I can't give the answer I want.
05:28Yeah, you get a predictable answer.
05:30I mean, like, we know the bit at this point.
05:32You just want to go against me.
05:33It's not a bit.
05:34It's a bit.
05:34You make a mountain out of a molehill.
05:36Am I really, though, dude?
05:38Am I really?
05:38Maybe because here's the thing.
05:43Giannis had a front row seat and benefited from a blunder from Damian Lillard because
05:51Damian Lillard was miserable in Milwaukee, never wanted to be there.
05:57And it's like, ah, how come you're miserable, Damian?
06:00He goes, because Giannis, I wanted to be in Miami, not here, freezing my ass off.
06:07He goes, well, what happened?
06:08He goes, my agent got too aggressive, told Sean's the only place I want to go in Miami.
06:13And that got the league all upset.
06:15They find my agent.
06:17Joe Cronin got his panties in a bunch and wouldn't trade me to Miami.
06:20So now I'm here with you.
06:22He goes, oh, man, I know whenever I ask out, I'm not going to be that specific.
06:29Well, now we got a meeting.
06:31So what do you do?
06:32You say what you want, but you put a little bit of vague behind you.
06:38He answered a question.
06:40It wasn't like he put something out there.
06:43He answered a lot of questions, but he specifically answered on happiness.
06:53Florida cities.
06:54Could be any Florida city.
06:56Maybe Giannis is a big Destin fan, you know, maybe he likes Daytona beach.
07:05Maybe he likes Orlando.
07:07I think he actually did say his favorite music was heavy metal.
07:11I recall.
07:12Maybe, maybe he likes Orlando.
07:15Maybe he does Leroy.
07:16Or maybe you want people to think you like Orlando.
07:19So people don't know what's working in the shadows, which is the Miami heat.
07:23Now, that's the lesson that you have to learn from Damian Lillard.
07:28Don't say exactly what you want.
07:30So because if you do, people will lash out at you.
07:33Question.
07:35So depending on who you have to get rid of, if Giannis were to come down here,
07:40is that team substantially better than team he left?
07:43Well, considering the team that he's leaving is going to have losing Brook Lopez
07:50and has Damian Lillard on a torn Achilles and all he has is Kuzma, I'd say yes.
07:54Okay.
07:57He's just stuck there with Kyle Kuzma and Doc Rivers.
08:00Doc, you can't even be excited about coaching Kyle Kuzma again this year.
08:04Never wanted him.
08:06He's got nobody over there.
08:12Nobody.
08:13His friends, Middleton, gone.
08:14Holiday, gone.
08:15Yep.
08:17There's no friends.
08:19The masses.
08:21Gone.
08:22Something.
08:24Interesting.
08:25I'm like, man.
08:27That really gave me a 50-50 shot.
08:28Now, I would say this.
08:30I don't see it likely happening because of what other teams have to offer.
08:42That being said, I don't see it as being something that's impossible.
08:49Very interesting.
08:50You also mentioned Kevin Durant, too, right?
08:52Like, maybe.
08:55We got a little two for Tuesday here, you know?
08:57Like, a little, maybe the Heat are working the strings to bring a guy that he's admired
09:03for a long time together with him down here.
09:06And now you're talking about a destination that he'd love to be in.
09:09People are saying, Leroy, there's a lot of changes that are coming in the NBA this year.
09:14A lot of changes.
09:15We're about to have our seventh different champion.
09:17A lot of parody.
09:18People are going to reshuffle the deck.
09:22Giannis just wants to be happy.
09:25Two things.
09:26He got to stay in the East.
09:28I agree with that.
09:31What would they say if they would stay in the East?
09:35And although I think Miami would be a great fit, you know you would have to trade Bam.
09:47Maybe.
09:48But they do the same things.
09:50You can't have two guys.
09:52They don't do the same things.
09:53Oh, they can fly.
09:54They don't do the same things.
09:55Bam is a chameleon.
10:00He'll make the other teammates work.
10:02And quite frankly, it's probably what you want.
10:04Like, defend your ass off.
10:05Rebounds.
10:06Assists.
10:08You know, now has added the three ball to his game.
10:10A lot of what he got from Brooke Lopez.
10:12Come on, come on.
10:14Give me the lineup.
10:15Give me the lineup.
10:16Give me the lineup.
10:16You know what?
10:17Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
10:18Come on.
10:18Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
10:19I haven't.
10:19You're getting.
10:20Wait, wait, wait.
10:21You're not getting ahead of ourselves.
10:23Let's see what comes from this meeting.
10:25But he could have answered that question any which way.
10:28And we know how he chose to answer it.
10:30That he enjoys.
10:33That Florida cities make him happy.
10:35The happiest.
10:37But that was the question.
10:40Chose to answer.
10:41He didn't.
10:42No.
10:43Well, you're going to have a Q&A and not answer the question.
10:46Of course.
10:47Everybody's.
10:47I'm sure they need to answer every question.
10:50Oh, my goodness.
10:51This is the part of this.
10:53I was willing to have a grown-up conversation.
10:57Right?
10:57I gave a grown-up conversation.
11:00I gave the opinions or whatever.
11:02You have to take it in the Looney Tunes by.
11:06Nothing you did was grown-up this past 10 minutes.
11:08What are you talking about?
11:09You were a child.
11:10What do you mean?
11:12The first thing you did was defer.
11:13Like, you wouldn't be a grown-up and take the conversation on head-on.
11:16You wanted to minimize it.
11:17Because I know you were going to overdo it.
11:20I'm not overdoing it.
11:21You are.
11:22Okay.
11:22Okay.
11:23I'm asking a question.
11:24And okay.
11:25And here's the question.
11:26He was answering a question.
11:28So he answered it.
11:29And then you immediately go to.
11:31Well, he didn't have to answer that question that way.
11:33He didn't have to answer the question, did he?
11:34He answered it.
11:35Okay.
11:35He answered a question, though.
11:37Very strange thing to say, though.
11:39He didn't just open up and say, man, if I could, I would love to live in one of the
11:43Florida cities.
11:43He didn't say that.
11:44He was asked the question.
11:45He didn't not say that.
11:46That, that, okay, makes it closer to nothing because he was answering the question.
11:53I then followed it up by saying, could he end up here?
11:57Absolutely.
11:58So then I asked the question.
12:00So then why would you think it's nothing?
12:02What?
12:03Then why would you think it's nothing?
12:04Because I think it's highly unlikely based on what the heat have to.
12:08You think he's going to have no say in where he goes?
12:11No, I didn't say that.
12:12I'm asking you a question.
12:15I think he may have some say so, but here's the deal.
12:21Based on what just happened to Portland and Dane and how that situation played out, if
12:33somebody comes with a sweetheart deal, you think they're going to pass up that deal to
12:39make Giannis happy?
12:40Well, here's the thing though, this is my exact point on why he's vague because he already
12:45learned from Dane's.
12:46I feel bad for Dane.
12:47He's stuck in Milwaukee with a bum Achilles, but that's the point.
12:51Like if the heat are going to do this, they're going to work in the shots because they got
12:56and they're an Aaron good when you were way too aggressive, the agent, you got too aggressive.
13:02So you play this one.
13:04Cool.
13:04It's amazing that we're looking at this situation with two players who really have not known
13:17to make a stink.
13:19I know.
13:19And the first one didn't go where he wanted to go.
13:25Mm-hmm.
13:27And this will be a lesson in making a stink that if by some chance Giannis doesn't get
13:37his way, then, you know, more players are going to start making a stink if they want
13:42to go somewhere.
13:45Um, I don't know, man, just like, let it play out.
13:49I like it.
13:51I will let it play out.
13:51We'll see what it means.
13:52It's not, I just say, the only reason why I say it's not nothing is because you tried
13:58to pull a whole lot of meaning out of a question, the answer.
14:00If he had said it in just a random statement, then I would be more inclined to believe you
14:10that he maybe wants to come down here.
14:13But the fact that he answered a question, and sometimes when you answer a question, you
14:18just answer the question.
14:19You're not thinking of all the ramifications and all the Tobins that are going to be reading
14:24his every word.
14:24I don't like that you're populating me.
14:26I don't like that.
14:27I want you to stop doing that.
14:29Why?
14:29It's just very rude.
14:31Like you've done that now.
14:32This has become your new thing over the last couple of days.
14:33Cause there was one guy in, in golden state.
14:36Your thoughts sounded like me and it's, it's borderline on harassment.
14:40What you're doing.
14:41So he didn't sound like you.
14:44He didn't sound like me.
14:45No, the guy, he didn't sound like me and, and, and really what you're doing, it's borderline
14:49on harassment.
14:51So please knock it off.
14:53And that's your way of being able to continue doing what you're doing.
14:57I'm not continuing anything.
14:58I'm not, I'm not continuing anything.
15:01You are.
15:01I gave honest and honest assessment of the situation.
15:04I don't think you went full honest because I like, I think you, how do I put this?
15:12You're an active participant in trying to throw cold water on my happiness.
15:18No, not at all.
15:20Yes.
15:20Not here.
15:21Hold on.
15:22Hold on.
15:22Let's just ask.
15:23Yes.
15:23Marcos.
15:24Yes.
15:24Do you think, or do you think, or do you not think that Leroy is an active participant
15:32on throwing cold water on my happiness, sports happiness?
15:37100% Leroy will do whatever to make sure he's on the opposite side.
15:43In defense of myself, I'm also the same friend that tries to calm you down so you don't get
15:52your hopes up high on something that's really unrealistic.
15:56Why do people keep saying that?
15:57He had to shoot you with a tranquilizer gun.
15:59Let me be myself.
16:01I had a year off where I pretended like I was happy with this roster when I wasn't.
16:04Let me go after Giannis.
16:06What's the big deal?
16:06If we don't end up with Giannis, big deal.
16:08Remember, I started with Andrew Wiggins.
16:10That's all I have.
16:11I can't.
16:12Who cares?
16:13Let me be delusional.
16:14That's all I got.
16:15What?
16:15I'm watching the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals.
16:18Let me be delusional.
16:20That's all my basketball world has right now.
16:22I only have the cats in Paul Maurice and Bill Zito who don't let me down.
16:25An old godfather over there has been sitting there talking about ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.
16:31Go get me, Giannis!
16:33Hey!
16:34Hey.
16:35Go get me!
16:36He's out there right now, Pat!
16:39You better go get me, Giannis.
16:41He's basically going, ah!
16:44Right to you.
16:45He's flirting out there.
16:47He wants to be taken home tonight.
16:49And if you could please just get off your godfather ass and bring me Giannis Antetokounmpo with a side of KD, it would be much appreciated, sir.
17:01I'm sorry, my tone, but you traded a first-round pick for Terry Rozier.
17:05So if you don't mind, Pat, please, please get me a friggin' whale already.
17:13Hey!
17:15First of all, Eddie Money, calm down.
17:20Okay?
17:20Ribbit.
17:22Right?
17:23There's not a whole lot of people that get that, but you understand.
17:26You got it.
17:27Point!
17:27Point!
17:28Point!
17:29Second of all...
17:30I don't want to make you sound good morning light.
17:34This is exactly what I'm talking about, because something to nothing turned into, now we got to get out the hardware and sedate you.
17:51And that's why I'm trying.
17:52As your friend...
17:53It's not even June yet.
17:54I'm trying to not get you so worked up about things that have maybe a 30% chance of happening.
18:07And you get worked up too soon.
18:10You said 30%.
18:10So as your friend, I'm trying to calm you down, acknowledge the situation, while not getting your hopes up too high, and then we have to, you know, go to jungle tactics to subdue you.
18:3130% is pretty good, though.
18:33You would say that's not nothing.
18:34And listen, just, and I say 30% to give you a little hope, because I realize how broken you are.
18:47So I say 30% because I don't want to just make you just go in the tank.
18:55So, like, yeah, man.
18:57No, listen.
18:58This is why I was cautious into getting into this.
19:03You see where this conversation went?
19:05You start yelling at Biscayne.
19:08They heard me.
19:09But look, the way I feel right now, because I know this ends with us getting DeMar DeRozan and Vucevic, but the way I feel right now, it's not going to change.
19:19Like, no matter, my disappointment will be the same when I end up with DeMar DeRozan and Vucevic, whether I have my expectations low or they're high.
19:26And then Vucevic doesn't make one single three while he's here?
