00:00I have an official statement here from your Miami Heat
00:04on official Heat newsletter, right to my email.
00:10The Heat acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis Jr.
00:16The Heat announced today that they have acquired NBA champion,
00:19two-time NBA MVP and 10-time All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo
00:22and NBA champion Bobby Portis Jr.
00:24from the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Tyler Hero,
00:27Kasperis Yakuchonis, Jaime Jaquez Jr.,
00:31Kalil Ware, three first-round picks and a 20-30 first-round pick swap
00:36and a 20-30 second-round pick.
00:40Here is a statement from Pat Riley.
00:45All right.
00:46Quote, the announcement of today's trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo
00:50and Bobby Portis Jr. is one of the great trades in Heat history.
00:54In my opinion, Giannis is one of the top five players in the league
00:58and Bobby is one of the best power forwards.
01:00The difficult part is trading Tyler, Kasperis, Jaime, and Kalil
01:05who had given so much to the organization
01:08and we wish them nothing but the best.
01:10I also want to thank the Arisons for their continued pursuit
01:12of winning a championship
01:14and we feel this gives us a better opportunity moving forward.
01:17I want to welcome Giannis and Bobby to the Heat family.
01:22That is from Pat Riley.
01:24Cool.
01:25Bobby Portis will wear number 95.
01:29Really?
01:30Yep.
01:31For the interstate?
01:32Yeah.
01:33I don't know.
01:34I honestly, I have no idea.
01:36That's a weird number, man.
01:37Pella has nine.
01:40And then Giannis will wear his 34.
01:44Now, he did just say on this neon stream
01:46that he's thinking of changing his number.
01:48So, I don't know.
01:49But, for everybody who is interested,
01:53the Heat people are letting us know
01:57that you can go to MiamiHeatStore.com right now.
02:01Oh, yeah.
02:02You do that.
02:04Giannis jerseys are up for sale.
02:06You know who's happy about that?
02:07Nike?
02:10Yeah.
02:11That's the, you know,
02:12they're the manufacturers of the jerseys.
02:15Oh, yeah.
02:16So, would it be weird if Giannis wore a different brand?
02:19So, Giannis wears Nike, right?
02:21Yeah.
02:22That's what I'm saying.
02:22Right.
02:23So, you know, the fact that he's going to need to.
02:26Different.
02:27Yeah.
02:27Different colorway.
02:28Different jerseys.
02:30Damn, man.
02:31He's going to have a top five selling jersey next season.
02:37Crazy, man.
02:39What a time.
02:39What a time to be alive right now.
02:41The Heat.
02:43Officially, uh, officially official.
02:46Have themselves Giannis Antetokounmpo.
02:49And, uh, Goosey's galore, dude.
02:53Oh, man.
02:55This is cool.
02:57Can't stop scrolling on Twitter.
02:59Finally, you can get rid of this, uh, this nonsense of not talking about it.
03:03Everybody can, uh, can, you know, Pat Riley can be out here peacocking.
03:06Now, it should be noted, uh, Anthony Chang says, and I've heard this as well, but, uh,
03:12uh, it is, uh, expected that Giannis' intro presser will be on July 16th, which is next
03:19Thursday.
03:20Oh, my God.
03:21I do not know.
03:22Which is after Summer League, right?
03:24I think, yeah.
03:25I think there's maybe a game that night.
03:27Usually the last game of Summer League is like, pfft.
03:29But here's the thing.
03:29Like, everybody gathers there for Vegas for a couple days, Leroy, and then they skedaddle
03:33out of there.
03:34You know?
03:35Dude, it looks bad over here.
03:38Really bad.
03:39You'll be all right.
03:41You've been through storms before, buddy.
03:44You guys can also, uh.
03:47You know, I got that ragged ass electricity.
03:51Uh, Haseo's right.
03:53They, they also have the Hardaway Junior jerseys on sale now as well.
03:57Oh, they got the number 10s?
03:58They got the number 10s out there, too.
04:00That was pretty quick.
04:02If the announcement was just made just hours ago, somebody just brought back the old Hardaway.
04:10They got a stock of the old number 10s, man.
04:15That's funny.
04:17Mama's self-inverted situation.
04:20It was a firm hell no.
04:22He went to go wine to mommy.
04:26Yeah.
04:27Yeah.
04:28Wouldn't it be cool, mama?
04:31Talk to dad.
04:33Because when it first started, she was probably like, you got to ask your dad.
04:38She, no, she was with Tim Senior.
04:40She was like, no, let him create his own legacy.
04:44And then all of a sudden, it changed.
04:47He was peacocking a little too much.
04:49That's what happened.
04:49And then she, I think.
04:50Yeah.
04:51He like, he took, he turned it up a notch.
04:53I think she felt the need to hold.
04:54Listen, at his age, what do men have to peacock about it other than what they had, their prior
05:00performances, their prior greatness for a guy just wanted to keep number 10 in the rafters.
05:06That's it.
05:07Maybe Pat Riley sent them a Tim Hardaway jersey, number 10, like with, with Junior on it.
05:13With Jordan.
05:14Like it was good.
05:15We don't have to talk about that.
05:16So we, uh, and he just got the, uh, and he just got the goosies in the fields and then
05:20like it changed all of a sudden.
05:22She's like, I do.
05:23I like this, you know?
05:27So pretty wild though, man.
05:29Everybody wants to wear 14.
05:32Not right now.
05:33Not right now.
05:35That's going to be, they'd be wearing football lineman numbers.
05:37Oh yeah.
05:38Yeah.
05:38There's a couple of seventies out there.
05:39You look, they got no shot.
05:41We got that giant intangibles from Southern Illinois Edwards.
05:45I don't think he's going to make it.
05:46Is he struggling?
05:48He actually didn't play that much yesterday.
05:50He barely played.
05:51They've played a lot in summer league.
05:55I would say I would get, I would, I would almost venture to guess tonight.
05:58They're going to play a lot of like the end of roster guys.
06:00Cause they played yesterday.
06:03Um, but I think a lot of the guards, they've looked pretty good for the heat.
06:06You know, and nobody, nobody wants to be a maniac like me watching summer league, but
06:09can I just say this?
06:11The reason why you look different and look appealing.
06:16Healing is basically when you don't have that position.
06:20So you kind of look at Lewin a little bit better, a little bit harder, right?
06:25If you got seven wings on your roster already, it's going to be hard for a wing to impress.
06:30I don't think that's true, but it just happens.
06:33It just happens to be what the strength of the strength of the summer league team is the
06:36guards.
06:37That's what they have.
06:40That's their best player.
06:41They don't really have a wing.
06:42Like Trevor kills is kind of a wing, but him young Conwell.
06:47And then the kid from the Canes trade trade Johnson.
06:50I would actually like to see a little bit more from him.
06:51I thought he looked good in his stints that he's gotten to go out there.
06:54He's got a two way.
06:55So obviously they like him a lot.
07:00So be curious.
07:01I would be curious.
07:02Maybe he might, maybe he gets the start tonight.
07:04We'll see.
07:05I don't know how many people are going to be watching a heat and golden state warriors
07:08summer league when the world cup is going on.
