00:00Milwaukee Bucks need to wake the hell up and trade them.
00:05You're not going anywhere.
00:07And this is one of the top five players on the planet Earth.
00:11Top five, planet Earth.
00:14Tell me five players who are definitively better than Giannis Antetokounmpo.
00:18You're talking about a guy right now, Wendy.
00:21Right now, Wendy, he's averaging 28.2 points per game.
00:25He's shooting a career high 65% from the field.
00:29Giannis Antetokounmpo, ladies and gentlemen, who supposedly can't shoot,
00:34is shooting a career best 39.5% from three-point range.
00:3939, nearly 40% from three-point range.
00:42That's comparable to Steph Curry.
00:45That's what he's doing.
00:47And this team stinks the way that it does?
00:52I mean, listen, at some point in time, you tried.
00:55You went out, you got Damian Lillard.
00:56That didn't work out, obviously.
00:58He torn his Achilles and all of this other stuff.
01:00For the last four years, they've won one playoff series.
01:03They are one and nine in their last ten postseasons.
01:07How much evidence do you need?
01:09I mean, how many times have I said, when we've been on the air, Wendy,
01:13if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it ain't a damn mongoose.
01:17It's a duck.
01:18Look at them.
01:19They're not good.
01:21Period.
01:21You have no shot to win a championship.
01:23And do you see the roster around them?
01:25I mean, no disrespect to the players.
01:27I understand that they, you know, individually, they can play.
01:30They got talent.
01:31They belong in an NBA roster.
01:32But if I'm thinking that I got Giannis Antetokounmpo, and then I look around and I see a Kevin
01:38Porter Jr. or an A.J. Green or a Ryan Rollins or a Kyle Kuzma and Miles Turner, who was just
01:46in the finals with the Indiana Pacers, I'm like, hold the horses here.
01:49Let's pump the brakes.
01:51Giannis Antetokounmpo, and that's what you got with him?
01:54That's what you got with him?
01:55Now, to get to your point, Wendy, they've tried.
01:58They've been a championship contender the last six or seven years.
02:01Okay, you've exhausted all your options.
02:04You got one left.
02:06You got the top five player on the planet Earth who's 30, 31 years of age, still giving you
02:15close to 30 a night.
02:17Career best in field goal percentage shooting and three-point percentage shooting.
02:21He's not going anywhere.
02:23He's 6'11".
02:24He's a gazelle.
02:25The brother is all world.
02:27Okay?
02:27Do you have any idea what you could get for that man?
02:30You're the Milwaukee Bucks.
02:31You have a business obligation to look out for your franchise.
02:35Now, if this guy is beloved and, oh, my Lord, you trade him and then everybody is going
02:40to desert you, that would be different.
02:42Last time I checked, we're a couple of weeks removed from the crowd booing him and booing
02:47the team and him booing the crowd back, which is something he doesn't do.
02:52This is a man that felt like he was beholden to the Milwaukee Bucks.
02:57And what did he do?
02:58All of these years being beholden to them.
03:00Now, he's booing back at their fan base.
03:03Clearly, he doesn't feel he owes them anything.
03:05They shouldn't feel like they owe him anything.
03:07The man is a champion.
03:10He's a two-time league MVP.
03:12He's a top five player on the planet.
03:14And he plays for a team that sucks.
03:17Plain and simple.
03:18You don't leave him in that situation.
03:20You maximize and exploit his talent by using him to get an abundance of assets.
03:28And last point, I understand that Phoenix got a first-rounder and five second-rounders
03:34along with Green and Dylan Brooks for Kevin Durant.
03:37I'm sorry.
03:37I'm sorry.
03:38They got that to trade away Kevin Durant.
03:40I understand that the Lakers got Luka Doncic and only had to trade away a first-round pick.
03:47And obviously, Anthony Davis and Christie.
03:49I get that.
03:50But your litmus is the New York Knicks who got five first-round picks for Mikel Bridges.
03:59You don't have to get all of that, but you can get some of that and a player or two for Giannis.
04:07Yes, you can.
04:09You're the Milwaukee Bucks.
04:10Do you want to keep a star, be irrelevant, stake up the joint night after night,
04:15or do you want to, you know, change things up and get an abundance of assets to build for the future?
04:22It's a very, very simple answer to this.
04:25Giannis must go.
04:27A, because he wants to, and B, because the Milwaukee Bucks should want to move him for an abundance of assets.
04:35This is not a, this is not rocket science.
04:38Get him up out of there.
04:40He deserves better, bottom line, but the organization will benefit too.
