And the third team I would put in there that I think would be very attractive would be Houston. These are teams that have a bunch of picks, including picks that are not theirs.

“… That's a great question. Because you know the name that pops up for me when thinking about Giannis and the runway that he's already had with the Milwaukee Bucs, minus, of course, the championship? Kevin Garnett spent a lot of years holding up that Minnesota Timberwolves franchise and then it wound up sort of it never capsized right but they wound up having like 41 and 41 missing the playoffs like after he won MVP in 04 I want to say they never got back to the playoff the next three years so then when they might have got the playoffs they never got out of the first round I know that they didn't …”
“… is his contract extension. The pathway for the Bucs to keep Giannis, regardless of what anybody wants to say, is that you offer him that extension, you get him to sign that extension. Do you feel good about extending Giannis five years, 270 million? That's a great question.
