00:00some frustration with some Celtics fans including Wiggy including Curtis that Giannis will not be a
00:07Celtic and that news broke around midnight or so and Giannis to the Miami Heat and Wiggy is
00:14frustrated with Brad Stevens has a big issue with Brad Stevens yeah yeah because like my lead was
00:20the window is closing and right and we've given Brad a lot of credit and obviously he brought us
00:26a championship but if you continue down the path that you're on and let's say you don't win another
00:33chip with the two J's I'm gonna remember you more for the bags you fumbled not getting Kevin Durant
00:42when Kevin Durant was at the you know still at the peak in his career and not getting a guy
00:47like
00:47Giannis then I am gonna that one chip you brought because that's the nature of the sports game we
00:54living we look at this the the second big three the Paul Pierce Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen and we
01:01go
01:01underachievers and they had everybody in that kind of world and they only won one championship we look
01:10at Danny Ainge you go Danny Ainge underachiever and Brad Stevens is now starting to walk in that
01:17direction well but the green teamers love him and they point to putting the team together you know
01:24getting Drew Holiday getting Porzingis and I give him putting that team together to win it all and
01:29certainly and they say brilliant but wouldn't he is a brilliant basketball mind and I give him I give
01:35a mad credit for that but it's great he always gives a man you gotta you gotta continue to have
01:40your
01:41organization going in the right direction before this offseason wigs he would have been viewed as the
01:46best GM in all of he was the executive of the year in the NBA yeah before this offseason right
01:51but
01:52then he fumbled the bag again with another superstar yeah and then you add that to your resume right so
01:58you add to the resume of like all right you were able to put together the team where you went
02:02out
02:02made a great move to get Porzingis Drew Holiday win a championship but then part of your resume we do
02:10with Bill Belichick who's the greatest coach of all time yeah and and one of the top executives a bunch
02:15of
02:15texters who think Miami overpaid and that Brad looks good uh after all of this but you and I were
02:21talking about that during the break Greg where it's like for me the only way Brad gets really
02:26slammed by Celtics fans is if Giannis is great and Miami outperforms you next year if Giannis is near
02:32then this deal is looked at as like a you got lucky like you avoided a you know you were
02:39able to
02:39escape and when you say yeah like the Miami Heat might be a team that gets to the playoffs and
02:45they
02:45lose but if Giannis is balling I think what what if he only plays 35 games well if he only
02:51plays 35
02:52games and of course you go all right you dodge the bullet right I mean but Vegas over under this
02:57morning 66 and a half right games for Giannis yeah I mean if he plays over 60 which he's kind
03:02of done
03:02every year prior to last year yeah you'll take that but you yeah you're going you went into it what
03:08does the governor say about this mystery yeah what does Maury Hilly think about the trade the
03:13missing out on Giannis yeah but see you go you're going you went into it not thinking about if he
03:20only plays 30 games because you were willing to trade for him so you can't even kind of like throw
03:24that on the table my thing is when you start to look at this if Giannis goes down there and
03:29he's good
03:29and even if Miami doesn't go that far you go oh imagine if Giannis and Tatum were playing together
03:36versus Giannis and Bam out of bite we talked about this uh during the first hour today but
03:41we're talking about again uh the argument that you cannot it's not Brad Stevens fault you can't force
03:48the Milwaukee owner to do the deal if he was not confident that Jalen Brown in a month was gonna
03:57be
03:57willing to an extension because he doesn't want to play in Milwaukee I mean if Shams is basically saying
04:02the reason why the deal fell through he he never said anything about um them not potentially not
04:08resigning Jalen Brown he made it seem like Shams who's plugged in that this was the sticking point
04:15was the Celtics weren't willing to come up offering some more younger players and a few more maybe draft
04:22capital and that is in my opinion a big swing and a miss because now where do you go from
04:29here you got a
04:30guy in Jalen Brown we know kind of how he feels and where he views himself he's coming back to
04:36a team
04:37that has in four years has tried to trade him twice so this morning you would call him bad Stevens
04:43oh yes for sure yes you know and he and he did listen thank you what year was that we
04:50won a chip was
04:50that 2023 yeah we won a chip you can't just walk past bad Stevens that's a t-shirt I mean
04:56I was so
04:58oh wow oh really oh okay that was a tough one somebody get overconfident uh playing in a scramble
05:04yesterday no not I'm not overconfident at all I'm just how'd your group do who'd you play with
05:10Curtis yeah I played with Curtis his dad and uh his dad's buddies what'd you guys where'd you guys end
05:14up I didn't see any of you at the dinner afterwards DFL oh yeah they uh we uh we called
05:19it uh when the uh
05:20when the rain was really coming down oh really yeah yeah we didn't yeah well that good for you
05:25the event was to raise money for the beneficiaries of the Greg Hill Foundation oh yeah you don't you
05:30don't call it in the middle because because a couple raindrops are falling huh raindrops keep
05:35falling last night but the people but John Curtis says John Curtis does let him do it for all of
05:42us to
05:42finish yeah he rode with John Curtis that's how I've done for 42 years exactly I just followed
05:48Curtis's lead I would say about the Brad Stevens great joke notwithstanding this is the first time
05:55I feel like he's not in control like I thought that this was a deal this is a guy that
06:00measures
06:01100 times cuts once wait are you saying Bill Chisholm is telling him you can't part with oh no no
06:06no
06:06you go okay no no no I'm saying that he I believe that Brad Stevens doesn't get to the point
06:12where
06:12this got if he didn't believe it was it was going to be done and the fact that this was
06:16not consummated
06:18I believe to be the first time Brad Stevens has built up a trade package had negotiated it and
06:23gotten to a point where he wasn't in control of the outcome and I don't know that he has an
06:27answer
06:27on how to fix it but he wasn't controlled just just had Shireman and you go through the deal
06:32and it probably gets done now where do you go from here and and I'll give him a pass for
06:38last
06:38year because they were reset and with the Tatum injury but are you just running back the same team
06:46well it's not the same team that won you a championship no I know that but this is my
06:50minus Porzingis true holiday holiday Derek White is uh you know older he Derek White is declining in
06:57this game Al Horford was on that team Al Horford too so what are you running you're running back
07:02the team we saw last year and that's not going to be enough and you're hoping that a 100 healthy
07:08Tatum is the difference uh shine what was left they said it was uh we can hear from former NBA
07:13player
07:14Richard Jefferson tell uh Jalen Brown that he should treat this as a compliment right you have to
07:19understand that this is part of the business if Giannis comes up there's going to be a lot of all
07:24-star
07:25players that are going to be sweating he was not the only one and and really it is a compliment
07:29if you are a player of Jalen Brown's stature and they're talking about a two-time MVP could you be
07:35a little bit frustrated but understand that your name was mentioned not Jason Tatum you most likely
07:41in this present form were the most valuable player that they could offer for Giannis if you're Jalen
07:49Brown that's a compliment that is a compliment in these spaces where you and Giannis are in the same
07:55space where they're saying that hey we want that player to build our franchise around
08:00hopefully he looks at it that way hopefully he looks at it that way I don't think that Richard
08:04Jefferson if he was in trade talks would look at that as a compliment you know what I'm saying like
08:10players I I feel like if you're a player you're saying it's a compliment you're kind of talking
08:13and even like I could see Richard Jefferson going all right that's part it's the nature of the beast
08:18because of the player that I am I'm kind of one of the you know I'm not the top tier
08:22guys I'm one of
08:23those kind of role players and we get moved all the time but when you're considered the best duo
08:28in the NBA for the past couple of years and you've won a finals MVP yeah and you've won an
08:35Eastern Conference MVP and Jalen Brown but yet your name is that's not a compliment all right well
08:42maybe they can I'm sure they can make things better with a like give them a special parking space or
08:46like whatever don't you think that relationship extra flex time maybe 110 gift card 110 grill
08:52and this is bringing a chef or something in the in the workplace there's one available
08:56yeah don't you think that relationship employee of the month like he's guaranteed employee of the
08:59month for the next I think he got all those things don't but don't you think it's solid
09:03the relationship yeah probably probably a little bit
09:05but don't you think it's solid the relationship between the people and the people and the people and the people
09:05and the people and the people and the people and the people and the people and the people and the
