It appears that Doc Rivers has his own opinion on this whole story and basically debunking everything that is being reported, which doesn't happen that often. Take a listen. So here we go again. There's been no conversations. I want to make it clear just for the, I would say one more time, for the 50th time, it clearly is not getting the one that work for sure. Uh, Giannis has never asked to be traded. Ever. I, I can't make that more clear. He's been around a long time, Carlin. I tend to believe Doc Rivers, like this is one of those situations where I want to believe him. There's a part of me that says, What would Doc play semantics and say the agent did, but Giannis didn't like I, I can't see that happening. I wanna believe this story here and I also am a big fan of smaller market teams and sports and to me, Carlin, if this ends up happening. I don't think there's a recovery for the Bucks, like ever. I, I, I mean, it was hard enough to, to find this superstar in the last 10 years to get him to play and stay. I would be very concerned if I was a Bucks fan that that this would happen. Yeah, I, I would too, right? And, and you, you hit the nail around the head. Guys like Giannosatoakumpo don't grow on trees. Like, it's very hard to find talented players that are one of the three best players in the NBA right now, in my opinion, is Giannosato Okumpo. And by the way, he won a championship there. So he proved that while, you know, he could be one of the best players in the league, he also was able to get them over the hump in a small market and win a championship. And I will say this. About the Milwaukee Bucks. I, I have no idea whether or not Giannis, you know, asked for a trade or his agent. We could, we could figure that out over the next couple of weeks. This story is not going anywhere. December December 15th is the date where, you know, everybody that signed a contract in the offseason will be eligible to be traded. That's the date where things really can start happening. Right now, it's just all talk, right? Like people are just speculating. So move that aside. I will say on the Bucks front, to your point about being a market. They haven't acted like a small market at all in, in having gone to Santa the Kumpo. Since 2020, they've made 17 trades, 17 trades to try and improve this roster, and that includes guys like Drew Holiday, Damian Lillard, and Kyle Kuzma. Now, you could poo pooh about the last two, right? Like Kyle Kuzma, man, Damian Lillard, man, it was a good idea at the time, right? A lot of teams wanted Damian Lillard, injuries happened. It didn't work out the way that they wanted to, that, that they wanted. But the fact of the matter is, is that they were trying, and they, if they prove that, they will still go out and try. They did that this last offseason, getting Miles Turner. You see the piece that they expected to have to get them over the hump? Probably not. But, as I sit here right now, if I'm a Milwaukee Bucks fan, I'm saying like, I'm gonna trust my front office, I'm gonna trust my ownership, and to try as best as they can to not only keep you honest, but to build a contender around them because that's been the history since 2020. Yeah, I, you know, and, and I agree trying is good. They got Lillard at the end of the line, um, and my concern still would be Carlin that they would never be able, even with all the trades, they would never be able to get a megastar of any kind like this if they were to lose Giannis, but your point is well taken too. I mean, he did win a championship with them. How do you look him in the face as an organization also and say, hey, look. We're not going to oblige if you do want to trade. It's a very, very tough spot to be in, uh, for the bucks.
