00:00But I think the ironic thing here, Donnie, is that they originally supposedly thought it might be an Achilles problem, but now they're 100% sure it's just a calf strain, but he's going to miss the rest of December.
00:15When is that trade deadline?
00:18Get him healthy.
00:19Get him healthy for his next team here, Joe, because if you take a look at some of the trade packages, here we go.
00:25The Lakers get Giannis and Thanasis here.
00:28The Bucs get Rui, now see, hold on, let me just understand something here.
00:34When we talk about the Madden trade machine, this is what you override trades when you're playing by yourself with a Dynasic.
00:40Let me just get the best player in the league for three second-round draft picks.
00:44You're telling me now the Lakers would get Giannis, and they throw in Thanasis because he needs them there just to have support.
00:50Rui Hatchamore, Jared Vanderbilt, Dalton Connect, they all amount to absolutely nothing,
00:54and then pick swaps in 26, 28, 30, and 32, which say, hey, that sounds great.
00:59Not when the Lakers are absolutely picking 28, 29, and 30 every single year.
01:05You're not swapping a damn thing.
01:07This is ridiculous, man.
01:08Absolutely ridiculous.
01:08The Knicks one is even funnier.
01:10I mean, so what?
01:11Carl Anthony Towne and McBride and 7,000 first-round swaps from, like, 2026 to 90.
01:18Like, come on.
01:20It's absurd.
01:22It really is just absurd.
01:23By the way, he is, too.
01:25I think another four-year, $275 million max extension.
01:29So whoever he goes to has to be able to afford that.
01:32And how many teams are there?
01:35We used to always love that, too, like in baseball.
01:38Like, hey, I want to make a trade for Otani.
01:39How about if we package two bums and, like, a guy in AAA?
01:42Like, they'll love that.
01:43You always overvalue what you have.
01:45Whoever's getting Giannis, you're probably going to have to gut your entire franchise to get that guy,
01:50which means once you do that, you can't win with Giannis.
01:52It's always a great thing.
01:53Remember that trade where Carmelo Anthony was on the Denver Nuggets?
01:57He's like, hey, buddy, if you wait six months, you can go to the Knicks.
01:59You can make a little bit less, but you don't gut their franchise.
02:01Like, man, send me there now.
02:03And they gutted the franchise for Melo to come back, only to win nothing.
