00:00it appears that doc rivers has his own opinion on this whole story and basically debunking

00:06everything that is being reported which doesn't happen that often take a listen so here we go

00:11again there's been new conversations i want to make it clear just for the i would say one more

00:20time for the 50th time it clearly is not getting the one network for sure uh yannis has never asked

00:28to be traded ever i can't make that more clear

00:34he's been around a long time carlin i tend to believe doc rivers like this is one of those

00:43situations where i want to believe him there's a part of me that says would would doc play semantics

00:51and say the agent did but yannis didn't like i can't see that happening i want to believe this

00:56story here and i also am a big fan of smaller market teams in sports and to me carlin if this

01:04ends up happening i don't think there's a recovery for the bucks like ever i i mean it was hard enough

01:11to find this superstar in the last 10 years to get him to play and stay i would be very concerned if

01:18i was a bucks fan that that this would happen yeah i i would too right and you you hit the nail

01:24around the head guys like yannis at the cupo don't grow on trees like it's very hard to find

01:29talented players that are one of the three best players in the nba right now in my opinion it is

01:35yannis at the cupo and by the way he won a championship there so he proved that while you know

01:40he could be one of the best players in the league he also was able to get them over the hump in a small

01:45market and win a championship and i will say this about the milwaukee bucks i have no idea whether

01:50or not yannis you know asked for a trade or his agent we could we could figure that out over the

01:54next couple of weeks this story is not going anywhere december december 15th is the date where

02:01you know everybody that signed a contract in the off season will be eligible to be traded that's a

02:06date where things really can start happening right now it's just all talk right like people are

02:10just speculating so move that aside i will say on the bucks front to your point about being a small

02:15market they haven't acted like a small market at all in in having yannis onto the cupo since 2020

02:21they've made 17 trades 17 trades to try and improve this roster and that includes guys like drew holliday

02:28damian lillard and kyle kuzma now you could poo poo about the last two right like kyle kuzma

02:33meh damian lillard meh it was a good idea at the time right a lot of teams wanted damian lillard

02:38injuries happened it didn't work out the way that it wanted to that they wanted to but the fact of the

02:43matter is is that they were trying and they if they prove that they will still go out and try

02:47they did that this last off season getting miles turner you see the piece that they expected to

02:51have to get them over the hump probably not but as i sit here right now if i'm a milwaukee bucks fan

02:58i'm saying like i'm gonna trust my front office i'm gonna trust my ownership and to try as best as

03:03they can to not only keep you honest but to build a contender around them because that's been the history

03:08since 2020 yeah you know and i agree trying is good they got lillard at the end of the line

03:14um and my concern still would be carlin that they would never be able even with all the trades

03:20it would never be able to get a megastar of any kind like this if they were to lose yannis but your

03:28point is well taken too i mean he did win a championship with them how do you look him in the

03:32face as an organization also and say hey look we're not going to oblige if you do want to trade

03:38it's a very very tough spot to be in uh for the bucks

03:41you
