00:00Trade deadline week from today.
00:02I very much believe exactly what's
00:05Diney said off the top of their show.
00:07I think Anthony Slater was insinuating
00:09it on ESPN.
00:10And actually there were a couple of
00:11conversations I had yesterday that
00:13already had me thinking this.
00:15And I'm comfortable with it.
00:17I wonder if you are.
00:19This.
00:20This week is Giannis or bust.
00:22And I don't.
00:23When I say bust.
00:24The.
00:25This is different.
00:26This isn't like Super Bowl or bust.
00:27It doesn't mean Giannis or else.
00:30We're going to be pissed and march in
00:31the streets and it was a terrible
00:32deadline.
00:33I simply mean.
00:35Do the Giannis trade or don't do a
00:37trade.
00:38That's what I think the Warriors.
00:40are going to do.
00:41That's what I think the Warriors should
00:43do.
00:44We can.
00:45Pull apart the Giannis idea.
00:47The mock trades that would work.
00:50And all of those things and do you want
00:52to do them and do you not want to do
00:53them.
00:54But the way I look.
00:55That it is the Warriors have been preparing
00:57for this moment for years.
00:59You don't.
01:00Do that and then not get involved.
01:02It's here.
01:03You've been preparing for this.
01:05Shove all the chips in the middle of the
01:06table.
01:07If the answer is no or even if the answer
01:10is just not right now then wait just.
01:15Wait.
01:15What if somebody else gets Giannis?
01:17The answer is no because another team came
01:19in.
01:20with a better offer or a better package or
01:22whatever the situation is.
01:23This week.
01:24Correct.
01:25When do you sit there and do nothing?
01:26Not necessarily but let me just.
01:28My first response.
01:30to that is I find that wildly hard to
01:32believe.
01:32Okay.
01:33I mean I don't.
01:33Luca for Anthony Davis.
01:35Luca Davis was something that was just an
01:36absolute haymaker.
01:37And so I'm not going to tell you it's not
01:39possible.
01:40I don't think there are many very many teams
01:42if any that can even get.
01:45in the same area code this week as what the
01:49Warriors.
01:50Warriors can do.
01:50There might be some teams in the off season.
01:54But I do.
01:55I do not think this week anybody get like the
01:57Warriors offer will blow any.
02:00other offer out of the water if Milwaukee and
02:03Giannis want to do this.
02:05this week and there's still a huge number of
02:07questions and one main one that we don't
02:09know.
02:10yet which is is Giannis willing to go to the
02:12Warriors.
02:12Right.
02:12We don't know that yet.
02:14Um and.
02:15and let's not act like that's not a thing.
02:17I mean wasn't it that story that poker
02:19tournament.
02:20that dream on and stuff.
02:21That's right.
02:21Yeah.
02:22No like we're getting KD you're not getting.
02:25KD why aren't you getting KD?
02:27KD doesn't want to come here.
02:29So that could.
02:30happen.
02:30Who are you?
02:31That could happen.
02:32But I believe that the Warrior offer is.
02:35absolutely.
02:37Head shoulders knees and toes above any.
02:40other offer that Milwaukee can get this week.
02:43But to play with your scenario.
02:45if Giannis were to be dealt somewhere else and it
02:49was to happen on Tuesday.
02:50Tuesday so that you still have four.
02:51Or even Wednesday.
02:52I'm sure you've made calls on a lot of different
02:54stuff but.
02:54Then.
02:55Then there's an openness yes.
02:56But I.
02:57Listen.
02:58I'm just a fan over here.
03:00And I can tell you that short of Giannis do you know
03:02what I would like to see for the rest of this year?
03:05Jonathan Kaminga.
03:07Yeah.
03:08What else is it that you want to see?
03:10I mean there's not a deal out there that's going to be
03:15like poof now you're a contender.
03:16Right.
03:17Other than Giannis.
03:18And even that this year I don't.
03:20I don't know.
03:20He's not healthy right now.
03:21Even if it was Trey Murphy the third.
03:23Kaminga for Trey Murphy.
03:25I mean.
03:26You're better.
03:26Yeah.
03:27I guess.
03:27You're still another Jimmy Butler type player away.
03:29I.
03:30I think from being a real contender.
03:32I guess I do that just because it's a good deal but all
03:34reports.
03:35reports are that the Pelicans are closed for business.
03:37Right.
03:37Exactly.
03:38So I mean all of the names that.
03:40I've seen are completely uninteresting to me when compared with
03:44John.
03:45Jonathan Kaminga and I'm also not in the business of selling off an asset.
03:50when it's at its lowest value and that's what the Warriors unfortunately have done.
03:55They like they depressed the asset and so right now is a horrible.
04:00time to be trading Jonathan Kaminga unless you can go get Giannis.
04:05Yeah that's a fair way to put it like that's that's kind of where I'm at it's a pretty simple
04:09deal.
04:10Go get Giannis and if you can't then deal with the PR.
04:15And the smoothing over that would need to happen to.
04:20Just ride the season out and see what Jonathan can do.
04:22So it's not Giannis or bust.
04:24It.
04:25It's Giannis or try again.
04:26This is a classic Willard blankety blank or try again.
04:30because if you don't get Giannis now maybe Milwaukee saying you know what we like your.
04:35offer Mike it's cool but we want to wait and see if there are other offers in.
04:40a lie that might wow us more so we're going to hold off keep our number and we'll talk
04:44to you in the summer.
04:45Absolutely it would be Giannis or try again and speaking to try again I'm going to get.
04:50give you a chance here to get something on the record so that when Lucas goes ahead and.
04:55fires away on social media you will be able to have heard it and put.
05:00it out there in your own way so here's my scenario okay well what are the.
05:05percentages Giannis doesn't get traded Giannis gets traded to the.
05:10lawyers or Giannis gets traded elsewhere so those are the.
05:15three things that could happen he stays he comes to Golden State are you.
05:18talking about where he goes somewhere.
05:20what else between now and next thursday oh between now and next thursday.
05:23yeah I mean summer schmummer we can get to that.
05:25I think by the summer if he doesn't get traded by next thursday.
05:28he's getting traded in the summer yeah.
05:30he's getting traded so.
05:31he's getting traded.
05:32just.
05:33your percentages.
05:34percentages.
05:35yeah it's a three it's a three-way pie so a hundred percent.
05:38okay.
05:39something's gonna happen either.
05:40no trade he stays.
05:41he stays.
05:42uh.
05:43traded here or traded elsewhere.
05:45alright.
05:45I think that he is not traded by next Thursday at all.
05:49He remains.
05:50With the Bucs, I'm going to give about 75%.
05:52Okay.
05:53Okay.
05:54You got 25% left.
05:55Traded to the Warriors, I'm going to give 24%.
05:57You have 1% left.
05:59Yep.
06:00Traded elsewhere.
06:01Traded elsewhere, 1%.
06:02Okay.
06:03That's what I would say.
06:05I think there's a 24% chance that he gets traded to the Warriors.
06:08Probably optimistic.
06:09It's probably optimistic.
06:10But for the effect of what you're talking about, like that versus.
06:15The idea of him being traded elsewhere.
06:16Sure.
06:17That's what I would say.
06:18I would agree with the elsewhere portion.
06:20Like if you would just ask me, you really think there's a 1-4 chance that Giannis is
06:23a Warrior by next week?
06:25Eh, it feels a little hot.
06:26I mean, it's a, I don't, there's some things we don't know there.
06:30Again, we don't know if Giannis wants to be a Warrior and we don't know how urgent.
06:35Milwaukee is feeling this is.
06:37So that's, that's hard for me.
06:40I just think that it is a clear favorite that he stays.
06:43And I think the only other viable thing.
06:45That could happen is he's a Warrior.
06:46Hold on.
06:46Can I jump in real quick?
06:47Sure.
06:47Not to be a stickler for what you said yesterday, but you.
06:50You said yesterday there was over a 50% chance he gets traded by Thursday.
06:53That's correct.
06:54That's just today's.
06:55Information, you've changed a little bit?
06:57Because the math is 25% you're saying.
07:00I'm going to say there's a lot more research and conversation that goes into.
07:05Today's point than was available yesterday.
07:07What's changed?
07:08What's changed?
07:10Well, for me, what's changed is the understanding of what other teams can fully.
07:15offer right now and also just the framework.
07:20of where the league is on this conversation right now.
07:23I bet.
07:24So, yes.
07:25If we were to redo yesterday's conversation today, I would say it a little bit differently.
07:29That's how I feel.
07:30That's how I felt yesterday.
07:30I don't like that.
07:31That's fine.
07:32Didn't you say yesterday there's a greater than 50% chance.
07:35I did.
07:35And isn't 75% greater than 50%?
07:38I'm changing my stance.
07:40I'm changing my stance from yesterday.
07:4175% chance he stays in the locker room.
07:44Yes, I'm changing my stance.
07:45I'm changing my stance.
07:45Gotcha.
07:46Had multiple conversations yesterday.
07:49Oh.
07:49I tried.
07:50I tried to, I tried to, I tried to gather what I could gather.
07:54Um.
07:55And so I'm changing where I'm at on that.
07:57Yeah.
07:58And yesterday, I think that's where I.
08:00I was, I was 75% that he's not going to get traded by the deadline.
08:03That's probably right.
08:04And I.
08:05I just don't know how much urgency the Bucks are feeling and I'm sure.
08:10Giannis is feeling some urgency, but at the same time, he kind of holds the majority.
08:15of the cards.
08:15That's exactly right.
08:16And, and none of us know that somehow nobody knows if Giannis won.
08:20Giannis wants to be a warrior because that's the other thing that could, if Giannis wants
08:23to be a warrior, I'm going to flip the.
08:25Those numbers, 75% chance he's a warrior by Thursday, but I don't know the answer to that.
08:30Yeah.
08:30I don't, I haven't heard anybody say that yet.
08:33I don't know if he's willing to give.
08:35That information up yet.
08:37You know what I mean?
08:37Right.
08:38We're only 24 hours old.
08:40Of him apparently telling the Bucks that he's ready to be traded.
08:43So you can't ask him publicly.
08:44Do you want to be.
08:45You want to be a warrior?
08:47You want to be a spur?
08:48You want to be a hawk?
08:49You're not going to.
08:50Answer those right now.
08:50No.
08:51And you also have to ask, uh, Thanasis and Rorasis and.
08:55You know, Jimmy, Antetokounmpo, because you got to trade for all of them now.
08:59You don't just.
09:00Just get the one.
09:01You get the whole family package.
09:03You probably need to take Thanasis.
09:04Yeah.
09:05I don't know about Alex.
09:06Alex.
09:07Alex.
09:07Alex.
09:08What about Bob?
09:09What about you?
09:10Um, okay.
