00:00Just like I think Milwaukee loses now.
00:04Why is that?
00:06It's called leverage.
00:08When you think about this, teams like the Knicks, teams like Golden State,
00:16teams that were trying, Minnesota maybe, right,
00:19that were trying to look at Giannis, looked at him as a two-year window,
00:24meaning this playoff run and next playoff run.
00:27Now you get into a situation with Milwaukee, and you have this.
00:35Giannis, number one, has catfishers.
00:39You know what catfishers could lead to, and that's a problem.
00:43But it's also the fact that Giannis next year is going to be on an expiring contract.
00:49So what teams would give you a week ago may not be what teams give you
00:57in the summer.
01:00So I think they lost leverage.
01:03And it benefits New York because if New York doesn't win a championship,
01:06and if Giannis really wants the Knicks, I don't know what Milwaukee's leverage is.
01:12They're going to try and make one more run to make him happy.
01:16I like Kevin Porter Jr.
01:18I love Miles Turner.
01:19But you remember I talked about the winning or rebuilding or being stuck in the middle?
01:25They are absolutely stuck in the middle,
01:29and I just don't know how they're going to get any better.
01:33The other team that's a loser is are the Clippers.
01:38Now, I want you to understand this.
01:39I understand why they traded for Darius Garland, for James Harden.
01:45I am not saying in any way, shape, or form that Darius Garland is a scrub.
01:51I love Darius Garland.
01:52But if you're going to trade Darius, trade James Harden, and then you're going to trade Ivanka Zubak,
02:04why are you holding on to Kawhi Leonard?
02:08Like a Kawhi Leonard that right now is playing as well as he's played in the last three to four years.
02:15And he's healthy.
02:17He is playing like a top ten player in the sport.
02:20And for a guy with injury concerns, you're already into a dome.
02:24I don't care.
02:25Steve Ballmer, Lawrence Frank messed it up.
02:27If you're going to trade Harden and you're going to trade Zubak,
02:30you might as well turn around and trade Kawhi Leonard.
