00:00Listing Boston as a possible destination for Giannis is kind of odd, John, because Brad Stevens usually works in secret.
00:07He usually doesn't have the Celtic name out there as interested in certain players.
00:12Yeah, and that's kind of like the crux. I'm definitely one of the skeptics when it comes to the Giannis
00:18rumors.
00:19I feel like this is a case of another team wants to up the offer.
00:25Somehow Milwaukee needs to get it out there that what Miami is offering isn't enough, so Miami needs to do
00:33some work.
00:34Either they have things that they're not including that they need to, or there's a third team that has to
00:40be involved,
00:42and the Bucs have to get something else somewhere in this deal.
00:48I think this deal comes down to draft capital.
00:51And right now, what Miami has that Boston doesn't is the 13th pick in the draft.
00:57They have a lottery pick.
00:58And the Celtics have Jalen Brown, who would then have to be flipped for more picks.
01:04And so, I feel like just following what makes sense, it makes more sense to me that someone on the
01:16Milwaukee side
01:17is trying to get other teams to pump up whatever they're offering, and they need Boston to be involved.
01:25They need Boston's interest to feel real.
01:29It may be real.
01:30It may be real to a certain point.
01:32I think some of this is a little much.
01:35That's my opinion.
01:37So, yeah.
01:39I don't think that Brad, I don't think the front office is out there kind of advertising this.
01:44Because, quite honestly, guys, I don't understand what the advantage is to Boston doing that.
01:48What do they gain out of advertising, hey, we want Giannis?
01:53They're supposed to operate in secret so they can steal Giannis if they really want him.
01:56Yeah.
