We don't know what's going to happen. Between now Wednesday night. And Thursday. With the trade deadline. And it's as.
Possible as ever. That Giannis Edeta Cumpo could get traded from the Milwaukee Bucks to Who knows where? Timberwolves, bulls, thunder, spurs, heat. Knicks, Warriors. Who knows?
If he does not get traded. If he does not get traded. This time We are unleashing hell. I am not doing it alone. We are are unleashing hell.
We are going to make ESPN's life miserable. We are going to make Shams Shirinia's Life. Miserable. We are going to be nuisances. We are going to be assholes.
I don't care if Giannis gets traded at this point when it comes to the future of the Bucs. I really, truly do not want him to get traded. For the victory lap, ESPN and Shams is going to take. And this is my main gripe. Like, what's your problem?
Yana, what's your problem? The problem is. Giannis could get traded. It makes total sense. For Giannis to get traded.
It makes sense. Bucks are bad. They could use some picks. You don't want to waste Giannis. You can get assets for him.
Sure, trade him. The ten previous years to this, it didn't make sense. Yet it's the same cycle from these people. As it was in 23 and 21 and 19, and even further back than that. Shams, who they put on T V, who I he cannot fucking speak.
This is your big story, dude. Learn how to speak. Or pre-tape your segments or something. I'm just asking for some sort of acknowledgement. I'm asking for some sort of, yeah, we went a little too hard.
I would love if these guys, when they're doing their reports, were like. Hey, you know what? We've wondered about Giannis for a long time. There's actually a lot of Reasons why it's possible now. In the past, we were just, you know.
kicking up the cobblestones. We were making content, you know. Killing time in the summer. Big star, small market. You know, Jason King was the coach.
We don't know how this is going to work out.
So we thought, yeah. Maybe Giannis might get traded. That's not what happened. What happened was. Giannis, small market, Milwaukee.
You don't deserve them. Guys Guys The Oligarchs? In this world. They don't want us to have anything. They don't want to save anything.
Washington Post shuttering down their sports section. What? Because they don't even want you to enjoy the box scores. The oligarchs want it all. You ever see somebody get money and say, that's enough?
No.
Well. In the NBA, it's the same thing. The oligarchs, the Bucs. Or not one of them. The heat are.
The Knicks are. Warriors are. You got something there that belongs to you that you like real good? Mine. That belongs to us.
you little peasants Drinking your Fresh water out of Lake Michigan. You don't even deserve that. We're going to take that from you, too, Waukesha. There's a possibility Giannis gets traded tomorrow. There's a possibility Giannis gets traded tonight.
In the past, there wasn't.
So if it does not happen. As Midwest baller says. We ride at dawn. We ride at dawn. Giannis was not on the bench in the second half.
Noted. Saw that.
Alright, so the Bucs won.
So. Let's talk about it. If you want to join, I'll put the link out. I don't really know who's up, who's around. Who's eager to talk?
Uh I don't know. Um But what I said coming in to twenty twenty six was There'll be nights That If you're like Should Bark do a post-game show tonight. Yeah, yeah, I think we'll just know. Tonight was a night like, all right. It's trade deadline Eve.
There's a lot of shit going on. I did talk to Horvod today if you want to catch that one. We went over some picks, talked about this a little bit, but didn't go super deep into Eric's article and Jim's article. I do wonder. If some of that is Giannis wanting to speak to these guys.
To just say, hey, look. I love it here. I know I'm getting traded, and yeah, I want to get traded, but I just want everyone to know what Milwaukee means to me. And Is it an impassioned plea to stay? I want to stay.
I don't think the Bucs.
So who who wants Giannis traded? Does Giannis want to be traded? Doesn't seem like it. I mean If he does. Why did he do yesterday?
Like if you want to be traded Keeps saying the kind of stuff about, yeah, you know, if I'm here or I just want to win. You went a little too deep yesterday in those articles and those QA's. Great job, by the way. From Jim O and Eric Name, both who do not know it, but will be getting requests from me to come on the show. Possibly next week and maybe the week after.
And I think they'll both say yes, they're both good people.
Now if they don't, I look stupid.
So, does Giannis want to be traded? Jury's out.
So who wants Giannis traded? Does John Horse want Giannis traded? John Horst, his whole job has been keeping Giannis here. That's the whole job.
So, I don't think John Horse wants Giannis traded. I don't think his teammates want him traded. The fans don't want him traded. Giannis. Doesn't seem like he wants to be traded.
So, who wants Giannis traded? Other teams that want them. The media And then possibly one other guy. And that's what gives me some pause. And his name.
Starts with a Jimmy Haslam. I don't know what the fuck that guy's up to. Do you? Who knows? Who knows?
How did we know How do we not know? that the Lazaries We're the good old days. Leaking and running and Tweeting. Oh, I take that in a minute. We got we got Jimmy Haslam.
Running around. Saw's not a fan of Jimmy Haslam. And wintery mix. I got you.
Some other comments. Richards says: Timberwolves are the only team still alive, according to. Reports. And the Bucs have informed the heat. They are out of the running for Giannis.
These are the things we're being told. I don't know about any of it. You know what's really pissing me off? I'll tell you the thing that.
Well, the thing that's pissing me off the most, Bucs did win, by the way. We'll get to it. Uh the thing that's pissing me off the most is 10 years of this. But the thing that's pissing me off the second most is look at all these trades that have happened. James Hardin is a cavalier.
The Bulls have six guards that they traded for. The jazz. are bringing in Jaron Jackson Jr. The Celtics. are finding the pieces that they don't have that they need and getting them.
Anthony Davis. Ended up playing two and a half quarters with Kyrie in Dallas. Got traded. For Chris Middleton. Shams doesn't have any of that knowledge.
Isn't that his job to tell us the things that are going to happen? All he's doing, he's not a reporter. He's an announcer. He's not a reporter. He is, hey, Shams, this trade happened.
Let everyone know. Is that what he is? Because I thought he was supposed to be like... All right, my sources are telling me there's something going on with Dallas. They might want to move off Anthony Davis.
My sources are telling me the Bulls are trying to accumulate as many guards as they can. Nobody knows why, but that is their plan. No, none of that. He just Tells you when they happen. Because he's too busy trying to make a Giannis deal happen.
That's what's pissing me off. That among many other things, of course, which we are laying out for you here tonight on Into the Winkler Verse, brought to you by Happy PlayStation: promo code bar 25% off each and every order at happyplaysem.com.

What if Mark Baden just came to the? What if he just got on TV every night and said, Fuck. We got six inches of snow. Holy shit. It's fucked up.
That's no. Tell us.
So we can prepare. Shams. He's not even doing that. ESPN's big guy Okay. Yeah.
Says that if it's about the money, Giannis isn't going anywhere. Four years, $275 million. If he took the extension, that's from Evil Badger, $72, throwing $5 into the kitty. Thank you to Evil Badger. Lifelock, how can I help?

Granger for the ones who get it done. Hot take Jake. Hey. This felt like a Live show night. Sure for sure.
Like I'm struggling to stay awake. I got to watch an amazing basketball game between the Bucks and the Pelicans. Oh, I thought you were going to say Nuggets and Knicks. That went to double overtime. No, no, no, no, no.
I do like Marcus's take at the end of this game that the referees just wanted to get the hell out of there when they called that foul on Zion. I totally buy it.
Well, the crowd was like. They didn't even cheer because they didn't even know what the hell happened. Turner, by the way.
So the Bucs beat the Pelicans. After being down and taking a lead, then giving it back. And then Miles Turner hit a big three. I think he caught the ball when he was out of bounds, but then the broadcast kept showing the left foot. Left foot was probably in, but I think the right foot was out when he caught it.
Now, isn't this weird? I know it's. And how did the Pelicans not score on that inbound? What the fuck? Yeah, how did any team win this game?
That's why, in the comment, I put the Bucs, they didn't win, they didn't beat, they just. They play the game and they did not lose. They'll get a W mark tomorrow, but... They didn't win this game. Yeah, Trey Murphy he had like a Greenbay Packers type game where like He looked great and then when it got to crunch time he just shit his pants.
Yeah, that was weird. Yeah. Um no I'm uh I wanna I know we talk about like The newer fans, there's a lot of newer fans of the Bucs that they only know success. And tonight was a good throwback to being an old school fan where. The best thing that the Bucs could do is lose.
And of course, they don't lose. Like, it's right there for the taking. No, no, I still want play-in. We've never been in the play-in. I want it.
Oh yeah, that that would be fun, watching uh a a Kyle Kuzma-led play-in team, totally. Way better than potentially a lottery pick. Absolutely. Did you see Marzion's tweet? I That would be the last person on earth that I would follow on any TV.
Maybe I'll get it. If you went to the game, look at this. This is like right before the game. There's nobody fucking there. Jesus.
You know what makes me mad? Why is he the guy like on social media for the Bucks? Like, the who made him that? And he shouldn't be. There's so many people that would be better for that spot.
Oh no, he found a he found a the avenue and went for it. Yeah, well I wish he'd I like Nathan. If I'm gonna fight anyone, it's gonna be. I'm sorry. I don't get what Tom Grassi's.
I don't get it. Yeah, I'm not a big guy. What happened if a nice guy likes sports? Is that the bit? He's like the nicest guy.
on planet Earth. And I don't want to talk shit about him because if I do and I meet him. Ah, I'll be enamored with him, I know it. What about the I'm jealous? He's got a million followers.
Matt Ramage or whatever, Ramage, is that how you say it? Ramage is a friend of show. He's been on my show. I'm going to get him back again. Yeah, he's fucking great.
I love him. Love Ramage.
Sorry for the F-Bomb. No, you know, we were talking about hair sponsors. I don't know. I have like a CM Punk thing going on right now. Like, I I have no clue.
I know I wore my hat after work, so that probably has a lot to do with it, but Whoa. Never got the overhead view, Bart. Yeah, it's not the front that we need to be worried about, boys. It is the back. I mean there's There's a lot going on.
By the way, my wife loved your remix of the forehead song. Like, that was that was a great moment in show history. How hi. Desmond Four. Like that's been in my head.
How? Hi. That's actually four. That should be your bumper music, actually. That was off the cuff.
I know. That was a good improv, man. I loved it. But to back to things that pissed me off, Um I am really pissed off because Brian Winhorse, Stephen A. Smith, all these.
How does my forehead go? It's as big as my iPhone. How high? Bring it back, baby. Oh, hi.
But okay, so all these ESPN blowhards and the big guy, which was that was a funny quote, by the way, big guy on ESPN. What they've been trying to- Hey, a little late on the move there. Hello? I'm playing with just talk. I'll just talk to you alone.
No, I'm annoyed. I'm pissed off that what they've been trying to do since the Giannis rumor started this year. Is the messaging Giannis is way too great to be on the bucks. Also, simultaneously, he has no value in a trade. That's their message.
And they've done it so much, they've broken down a lot of Bucks fans to start to believe it. To now, I hear really, what I would deem really good fans are now going, yeah, you know, a Jaden McDaniels package would be good. And, you know, if we got all those picks from Golden State, like, yeah, those could work out. And it's like, You're fucking stupid. Why are you letting these blowhards gaslight you into this?
The Giannis It's never really been done. I mean, probably since Kareem, where you have... The first, second, maybe third best player at worst in the NBA that gets traded in his prime.
So the return should be historic because historically these things don't happen. But because all the idiots on ESPN want him gone so badly, they're trying to will it into existence and also that the Bucks should take a platter of shit in order to make the trade happen. But again, it's just they keep pushing it. Bucks fans are now starting to buy into it, and it drives me fucking nuts because if Jared Jackson Jr. is getting three first-round picks, Giannis gets your best young player and nine first-round picks.
To me, that's the only way a deal should happen. It still feels like um Sh When you get to this point as a franchise, You may have to trade your best player. To be good again. I don't know, though, that. Like, where is Giannis going?
I don't think he wants to play second fiddle to staff. I don't think he wants to play second fiddle to Anthony Edwards.
Well, right. And that's what I'm saying. I think the place Giannis would like playing the most. is San Antonio. I think he would Like, 'cause then him and Wemby could be like a double time.
Depends on who you believe. This is another bullshit thing with the way this thing is covered. I'm not looking at reports. I'm just like, because Giannis is in control, everything goes through him.
So does he want to go somewhere where He's Steph's running mate? I disagree that it's in his control because I think the Bucs have the ultimate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think our lines are getting crossed a little. We agree.
Okay, good.
So again, if you believe what's reported that Giannis wants warm weather. And he wants to be the guy on the team. He doesn't want, like, you know, he wants it to be his team.
So, of all the teams that have been listed, like, that's not happening in Golden State. It's not happening in Minnesota. Maybe it's happening with Miami, but... Again, they don't have a package that you'd even consider trading the honest for. If he is moved With the way that the Bucks do business, and I'll give them credit for this, they work in the shadows.
The dame thing, no one knew what was happening, and then bam, it's announced. Miles Turner, no one knew that was happening. Bam, it's announced. Drew Holiday, bam, it just happened. Which is why it's so crazy that Shams has been on this for 10 years.
There's been nothing to be on. He is. I feel like a lot of people are in on it. ESPN's hiding replies, you know. They are.
But but that's still like Why I am I am really I'm really I'm just I've been this way, and I talked a lot on my show. The national show. About the show. No, thanks. I talked about like You know, I I didn't talk about politics, but I did.
Shit on rich people all the time. You learned your lesson. Yeah. I didn't, I I was just like, why are these people, these people are in control? They're controlling you.
The media, we can't just watch TV and think, oh, that guy is. On the up and up. Like They all have motives. They all have agendas. And now with everything that's Come out.
In the last week. I'm having a real hard time focusing on Bucks Pelicans. Oreonic. or any like the fucking Super Bowl Sunday. We're playing a Super Bowl?
During this shit. Yeah, I keep forgetting that that's happening. What the fuck are we doing? I know what you're saying.
So, this past weekend. I had a point and I forgot it.
Well, to piggyback off of that. I was, um, my daughter was participating. as part of Miss Saint Francis.
Okay, there is a a pageant. And I'm sitting there waiting for my kid to come out, and I'm just kind of thinking to myself, like. What the fuck are we actually doing right now with the shit that I read earlier in the day? And like, I'm just watching people walk on stage, smile, twirl some batons in the air. And I'm like, this is still happening.
Why what As long as there wasn't a A hatch that opened under the stage to go to the sea. Yeah. Let me read some of that. Speaking of conspiracies, the Mavs getting Cooper flag, like, that was totally bought and paid for, right? Like, Dude, just do the Luca thing, and we'll give you this guy.
Like, that totally happened, correct? I don't know, but I do know if the Bucs trade, Giannis, we're not getting the same benefit. No.
We will pick 14th.
Well It sucks to even have to have these conversations where that's even a question. But that's the NBA. And I don't know. I watched the 1984 draft lottery get rigged on YouTube, and people are just like, fine with it, like, whatever. What can you do?
Um 85. Zero Deem 599 says, Bart, you lose some weight, you look better. Mm-hmm. Oh. I'm a Miami Heat fan.
I watched her 2023 coverage of the Heat and Bucks playoff game, game five. I go back on it.
Okay, yeah, I lost weight since then. I remember that one. That one sucked. We played five games. We fucking saw that sucked.
There is some sort of correlation between your employment status and your weight, I think. Yeah, I I'm home all the time eating. Yeah, you gotta get out, man. It was so fucking cold. You know, Giannis is like, maybe he wants warm weather.
I get it. This winter is hurt this winter is grinding me. Come hit me up. Let's go to the gym. I'll get you on the weights, man.
Like, I'll turn you into a beast. Yeah. Uh Arya, I really miss your radio show. Very nice. Alan, I'll keep it short tonight, Bart.
Fuck Shams. Have a great night. Fear the deer. Yeah. Hell yeah, Alan.
Alan Ayan says, would love to see what we could get for Turner or Kuzma. Maybe get some draft picks. Hopefully, get a top eight pick. And give this thing and Giannis thing another try. What do you think?
So This is where I was. Going. Thank you, Alan, for the reminder. Um is When you get to a point where you have to trade your star player. You do that hoping that, okay, good times will come again.
But I'm not And I don't think anyone should be. What scenario exists? that trading honest Getting picks. Trying to be competitive. two, three years from now.
How do we know that we're not just better if we have Giannis and Rollins and whoever the fuck else? With a draft pick this year that could be. Hi. Yeah, I mean, I think I'd ultimately like to see them make the play in tournament. Because I want to do what Dallas did.
They won a game in the playing tournament. That's fun. And then they lost, so they still got to be in the lottery, which is bullshit. But that's what I want to do.
Well, Bart, you realize that if Dallas won one more game last year, they make the playing and they don't have Cooper flag right now. Yeah. That's a pretty big, you know, what if scenario. Matt says tank for a top five pick. Keep Giannis.
It's gonna be hard to get top five guys, it really is. They're not that bad. That's the problem. Uh MPW, I've come to grips with the Giannis trade. But I would be car tipping mad if Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, Cat, Tyler Hero.
Julius Randall or Jonathan Kaminga are involved. Yeah, I'm glad you brought up the idea of like maybe just hold on to them. Because if you really look at it, there's no trade out there, Jake, that's going to be better what they can get in the summer, first of all. I disagree. It really, you need a couple teams to start bidding.
But if you're looking at it from a team that's contending, if you trade for Giannis at the deadline, you're getting at least two playoff runs with him. If you wait till summer, that's one less playoff run or one less chance at a championship.
So that I disagree with. But I look at you know, Giannis' worth to the Bucks is more than it is to any other franchise. He is the franchise, he's the reason the stadium is there, he's the reason the team is here.
So, how does that valuation come into any trade negotiations? If if Giannis leaves the Bucks tomorrow, how much is the valuation of the franchise changed? Like, is it a billion? Is he that worth that much to? I don't think they play at Fiserve anymore.
I think they go next door and play at that concert hall on the Grounds of the Bramleys. I got tickets to Yellow Card and Newfound Glory. Can't wait. Oh, it's open already? Yeah, well, I think it opens this month and then my tickets are in April, so.
Give me a good show. Who's the opener? Um plain white teas. Plain White Tees is opening the building? I believe so.
Well, that's not the first show, but I have to. I have tickets to that show, but yeah. You're going to plain white teas? Yeah, so it's plain white teas, newfound glory, which is who I'm going for, and then yellow card as well. Fuck is wrong with you?
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? Emo music is the greatest art form ever made, son. Pop punk and emo. Let's go.
You have a plane by Ts, bro, Chief?
Well, I mean, they're just there, okay? I'm not going for them. Calm down. You know what? You must have been the most interesting dude in college that just like, who do you like?
Oh, yeah, they're terrible. I listened to this band no one's heard of. Were you that guy? Uh n well, I listen a lot of Neil Diamond. Wait.
I just remembered. Who's your favorite band? Death cab.
Okay, see, that's how I know, 'cause you don't call them Death Cab for cutie, you just call them Death Cab. That's like when you meet someone that calls Dave Matthews' band Dave. I'm going to see if I can see that. Everyone calls Dave Dave. I'm going to go see Dave.
No, I'm going to go see the Dave Matthews band with Tim Reynolds. Fuck you. Yeah. Give somebody to get it. Here, look at this.
They're the ones with the tail. There's your boy. There's your boy. Who is that? Tom?
Tom. From Plainway Tees.
Okay. Isn't it? They did uh what you did which That's a good song. Isn't that isn't that time? You know what, uh that song, Hey There, Delilah?
That was one of those songs that uh you hate when it's out 'cause it's everywhere and they won't stop playing it and then years later you appreciate it. It's like the John Cena of, you know, one hit wonders. You know who's the John Cena of music then? Who's that? Magbox 20.
Matchbox 20? They were over fucking played, but I You can't. They're the goat? They're the goat? Wow.
All right. Matchbox 20 is. You know, Matchbox 20. I don't know if they're still around, but like, that's a group that. You know, if you just randomly ended up at a concert, you'd be like, what the fuck am I doing here?
And then. Halfway in you'd be like, Man, this is fucking awesome Like you forget how many great songs they have. Plus you got the Rob Te or the Santana mix up, mash up. I mean, come on. Can't go wrong.
Andrew says Bart, you look like you could use a recharge. Have you reached out to Batteries Plus? That's low, man. Are they still hiring? Uh Bart, are you going to do a live at the deadline tomorrow?
Yeah, when's the deadline? 2? 2 p.m. All right, so if Giannis gets traded in the day, I'll obviously do something. Yeah, that's an emergency.
Uh but we will be live. Andrew Wagner is going to join us. You know what makes me sad, Bart? I remember This seemed like yesterday. The Bucks traded for Dame.
He did an emergency pod. And, like, I was elated. It felt like the day my first child was born. Like, that's just the joy that it brought me. And gang came here.
What's that? With Dame? Yeah, when they made that trade and, you know, the emergency pot happened and people were just falling over themselves with how great it was gonna be. And then Dame got out of that limo and looked like his fucking dog just got shot in front of him. Um I got one more comment I want to share.
Uh this one was just on Twitter though.
So it's not It's from a guy named Elon Musk. Oh, geez. Did you see this tweet? Was this the one where he's like Well, no, no, no, just read it to me. Elon tweeted tonight.
Whoever said money can't buy happiness really knew what they were talking about. Sadness emoji. Emu um He must be going through it right now. Like, imagine getting roasted because. And I thought I was crashing out.
This guy's worth $850 billion, and he's sad. Yeah, imagine you get like a The worst person on earth doesn't want to hang out with you. That's how lame you are. Like, he's got to be going through it. Fuck.
Yeah. Yeah. Bob Badger says Ianis will still be a buck after tomorrow. I think that's where I'm trending. I think I'm not sure.
Do we care that he left the bench? Did he leave the bench? He was not in there on the second. That's not fine, I don't like that. You know what?
I think I was talking about what I think is actually going to happen earlier. I think Is something will break about a trade that's happening. And at first, it's gonna look like, oh my God, we're getting something awesome. And then more details are going to come out and it's gradually just going to get worse and worse for Milwaukee. And we're going to realize like that is it's such a bucks thing to happen.
It's like Giannis traded for Seven first-round picks. And you're like, oh shit, okay. And then it's like, Also, two hours later, you find out Ryan Rollins in the deal. Yeah, those three of those first-round picks rerouted to Minnesota for Julius Randall. And like we'll get John Morant.
Then have to give up our 2031 first electronic. Your fucking son Holland's up here. Yeah, like it just it'll be a a build-up. It brings you here and then it brings you back down. That's that's very much the Bucks fan experience.
All right, well, I'm going to kick you off, but I'll be here tomorrow if you want to jump in. Uh I'll be at work, but I'll be watching um I wonder what Gary Wolfel has to think about all this.
So you can get Gary on. Oh, Gary had a really weird tweet. Should I read Gary's tweet? Oh, please. Should I try to get Gary on?
Oh my god, yes, yes, yes. Infrastructure. Wait, do you not meet with Gary?
Well We had that contentious interview. That's right, that's right. Yeah, I knew there was something. I saw Gary at the draft. I went to my hotel, or not the hotel, I went to the hotel to pick up my credential.
And Gary was there. I talk to you all the time. And he's like, how do we get to the Is there a bus? And I'm like, Gary. And I don't know if maybe he didn't place me.
But I'm like, Gary. I'm driving over there right now to get my fucking get my fucking Hyundai. He's like, are you my Uber driver? Like, how do you know who I am? He's like, all right, yeah, I'll wait for the bus.
Okay. G dub. All right, well here's Gary's tweet. Here's Gary's tweet. When the Bucs traded Ed Akumpo, either before tomorrow's deadline or after the season.
They have to follow the Dallas model. The model is sending a certifiable superstar to a major market in exchange for an aging injury prone player. But then magically get rewarded in the draft lottery the number one pick despite having odds of 1.8% to land it.
Now all the Bucs have to do is trade Edetta Kumpo to the Knicks or Warriors or Heat and stumble into the lottery. And I'm like, is that a joke? Is this his idea of a joke? Not the worst Gary tweet, I'll give him that.
Okay. Well, people that did you see my tweet shitting on Matt LaFleur? People didn't like that. I probably would have loved it. I'm not on Twitter, so I don't see that stuff.
I'm a blue sword.
Well, he was at Mike LaFleur's press conference, and I said, at least be the five seat before you show up, asshole. Yeah, I got a Cardinal fan buddy. People don't fucking laugh anymore, I guess. All right, well, I'm gonna head off, but I'll leave you with this. I hope uh you know again According to Bill Michaels, Giannis has to see what his mom and dad think about the t his trade destination, so.

Otherwise, we'll be live. Tomorrow during the trade deadline, probably, so assuming there's no Giannis trade. I would say like a one forty start time, deadlines of two. Our time and then um You know. I guess we'll talk until I have to pick up my kid.
So, really, it's, you know, we're going to go to bed. You're going to go to bed. You're going to check. The alerts are the The accounts you check. You're going to wake up maybe in the middle of the night.
You're going to check your phone. You're going to wake up and check again. And then you're just going to have your little nodies on, and you're going to be trying to figure out all day. Oh, what's going on? I thought something happened today.
Uh My wife texts me. She said. Crazy Dallas trade. Absolutely. I was like, what the fuck?
She texts me crazy Dallas trade. She's at work. And I didn't see anything. I'm like, did she just find out about Luca? Which she didn't care about sports.
Did you see this find out about Luca? Was she w I don't even know if she knows Anthony Davis. But somebody at work told her and The angle was Chris Middleton because she knows Chris, big Chris fan. It's a big Chris Middleton house. I want people to know that it's not just me.
It's my wife. And my son. And I think even Fishy Winkler, the four days that he lived with us. The goldfish, my son wanted a fare, and then None of us fed. I think he would have been.
A Chris Middleton guy, too. Fun fact, as Jake and I alluded to, the Bucs did play a game tonight. They won 141 to 137 in a game that did go to overtime. Bucks were up. looks somewhat comfortable.
Especially I think Nance had hit a three and you're like, okay. We can put this to bed. But then the Pelicans, big night from Trey Murphy, twelve threes. 12 for 19. They had 24 threes.
We had 21.
So 45 threes made in this game. Green was six of twelve, rounds three of ten from three. But he left with scoring with 27. Amir Coffey? Got the start the other night and then like ran He did the the guy that I would compare him to is Damari Carroll.
You remember him? I think he's a coach somewhere. But I took this guy. He was so cheap. And he started for the Hawks, maybe at the time.
And he played like 35 minutes a night.
So in daily fantasy, I'm like, I got to play Carroll. And then I would watch these Hawks games. And he would just run up and down. There's and then that like there's a lot of guys in the league. And Coffee was doing that the other night.
There's a lot of guys in the league. Oh, who was the one? There was some guy I played who was doing it. And I always think to myself. Ah, Damari Carroll.
He was just like Running up and down the baseline. Kind of hanging out for a corner three. Never expecting to get it. Oh, one of the guys on the Nuggets. Might get a rebound, but like is never in the paint, might just like bounce to him.
And then we'll maybe post up some shots. And you get him at your $3,500 salary, and there's a night he'll go five of six and have three boards, and you're like, shit. But every other night he's not gonna do shit. It's that Tony Snell stat line.
So coffee was like that the other night. But Coffee started again, and he had 16 points.
So he had 16, Nance had 16. Yakuzma. Only took five shots, but he got involved elsewhere. Green, I mentioned, I think Turner. Had a pretty Miles Turner night.
I don't know if that's a compliment or not. Pat Conneton got waived, you're telling me, from the Hornets? All right. Giannis bought his building, right? And then he buy one, and Giannis is really into the real estate.
I told my dad when I was 12, I said, Dad, we got to buy a storage unit or something. He's like, yeah, be a good idea. And we never did. We could be the Fond du Lac Storage Unit Kings. But instead I'm in my basement.
Talking about Talking about the 19 and 29 Bucs win over the 13 and 39 Pelicans.
So Bucks got the win. Very good. The trade deadline is tomorrow. And then the Bucs have the Pacers. Coming up, when is that Friday night?
Bucks have the Pacers. Hopefully. It is not a New Look Bucks team. Uh and then they have Two games in Orlando. That's a fun road trip to an Orlando.
Oklahoma City and then New Orleans again, the Pelicans. A lot of games coming up at home. I mean Yeah, they had lost one night. And uh Avo Badger, another five spot. What a guy.
Should we do an NFL honors post-game show? Uh I've got some small tickets on uh Ben Johnson or Kyle Shanahan. to be coach of the year. Kaminga traded. Ooh, what do you got?
Kaminga Postgame Show, what do you got? What do we got? Kaminga What do we got? Is that real? Did it happen?
I don't see it. Uh what were you telling me? Oh, yeah, here we go. The Warriors are trading Kaminga and Buddy Heel to the Hawks for Christophe Porzingis. Hmm.
I'll text my brother. See, this is the thing.
So Shams, what the fuck? Kaminga Has told the Warriors, I want to be traded. The Warriors have been open. about wanting to trade Kaminga. Not a sniff of this before it happens.
Not a sniff of this. Hold on.
Sorry, guys. I know I'm doing a show here or whatever. I got to craft a tweet. We got to yell at Shams again. All right.
All right. Um Kaminga. Exclamation point. He has openly wanted to be traded. The warriors Have openly wanted to be traded or to trade him.
And yet. Not a sniff of this from Shams. before it went down. He is not. A reporter.
He is A transaction Transaction? Oh my god. No to fire. Get back to work. Mm-hmm.
I need like a punch. I need like a Giannis. Kaminga. He's openly wanted to be traded. The Warriors have openly wanted to trade him, and yet, not a sniff of this from Shams before it went down.
He is not a reporter, he is a transaction notifier. How about a notifier? He is a Messenger? Of transactions. That'll fucking show him.
He's going to notice me. I've been shitting at him for days. Shitting on him for days. Shitting at him for days, but he will notice me. He will notice me.
Remember the Brewers trade deadline show? A whole lot of nothing. Hoping for the same exact shit. Please. Let's do a show tomorrow afternoon and be bored to fucking death.
Let's be bored. Let's do a show tomorrow and like Break down the Vukovich trade to the Celtics. That's what I want to do. Shams is on Giannis's celebrity all-star. Team.
How the fuck is that gonna work? I'm fired up now. This Kaminga thing. Really pisses me off. What the fuck?
