00:00Is this more than just a Knicks versus Bucs?

00:03Like, do you think the Knicks try and use this game to show Giannis that their roster construction

00:08is better than Milwaukee's and some of the pieces that he could potentially be playing with

00:13in New York if all falls apart with the Bucs?

00:17Players are going to say it's just another game, right?

00:19We're going to hear that.

00:20And it's not really just another game because of all the talk that's gone on around the Knicks

00:26and could they pursue Giannis and Giannis saying that the Knicks were on his wishlist of teams

00:31that he wanted to go to early this summer and all this other stuff.

00:35I don't think this is one where the Knicks are trying to show something.

00:38I think it's more where Giannis is trying to show the Bucs that, hey, what's the gap between

00:45these two teams?

00:46And Giannis had some comments the other day in which he said, okay, the Cavs are expected

00:50to be at the top of the East as well as the Knicks, but they haven't earned anything yet.

00:54And he's absolutely right about that.

00:55But he also said he's trying to compete.

00:57He said, good teams do not lose two games in a row.

01:00And that's interesting that he said this before this game against the Knicks.

01:04So I think he has something to show.

01:06He wants to show Bucs management like, hey, look at the roster you have around me.

01:10This doesn't fit my expectations or what I want right now.

01:14And if you don't get your act together and you don't put a winner around me or better pieces

01:19around me than what is there in Milwaukee, I will look.

01:23I might try to push and have a trade demand to go to New York.
