00:00Well, let's get to the big name, who hasn't found a home, but it seems like he's ready to.
00:07According to reports, Giannis Antetokounmpo is ready for a new home at the February 5th trade deadline,
00:14which is this Thursday at 3 p.m., or in the offseason as several rival teams make aggressive offers to the Milwaukee Bucks for him.
00:24Listen, Giannis' trade buzz isn't a myth anymore.
00:27It's real, it's heating up, and it's here.
00:31He wants to be traded by February 5th, and aggressive offers are already on the table.
00:35Statistically, even while injured this season, Giannis remains one of the most impactful basketball players on the floor.
00:42A perennial MVP candidate whose defensive rim protection and elite transition scoring make him an uncommon generational threat.
00:50But the Bucks are sitting sub-500 record, and internal struggles have made them asking, what are they going to do?
00:56Well, obviously, this is the part where Giannis comes in by moving him, in regards to the fact that now, as an organization, you can reset the clock.
01:06I've talked about this time and time again.
01:09The longer that they wait for Giannis, the more, I'd say, the less leverage they have.
01:15Then there is the whole part about the injury to the calf.
01:20Twice this year, we know what the precursor is to calf strains.
01:24Look at last year with Halliburton, Tatum, and Dame Time.
01:29All three of them had calf injuries before tearing their Achilles.
01:34Now, the number one team reportedly involved is going to be the Knicks.
01:39Supposedly, Giannis' preferred destination.
01:41But the Bucks do hold the cards here, and they're trying to get more teams involved.
01:47And there should be.
01:49You're talking about, even though he's had some injuries, a guy that can literally shift the landscape of the entire league in one move.
01:59We saw this last year when Luka Doncic, that was more out of nowhere, got traded.
02:05I think it was on this day, I think a year ago, from Dallas to the Lakers.
02:10So, this is a big thing, but this is where it gets spicy.
02:14If Giannis does get moved, we're not talking about roster impact.
02:18We're talking about conference realignment shift.
02:20If he goes to the Knicks, they are the clear favorites to win the East.
02:24If they go to the Warriors, now they become, to me, a possible top four team, depending on they give up.
02:30If they go to Miami, they become a sleeper threat to come out of the East,
02:34because you can put him with Bam Adebayo and possibly Norman Powell together as a big three offensively.
02:40So, it'll be interesting to see if it's Giannis to the Knicks, Giannis to the Heat, Giannis to the Warriors.
02:46Hint, hint.
02:46Also, look at other teams.
02:49Memphis, if they want to do something big and drastic.
02:52Minnesota?
02:53Let's be honest, folks.
02:55If you're one of the 29 other teams in the NBA, you're making a trade for Giannis.
02:59But let's put it this way.
03:01I think he still wants New York or bust.
