Is Giannis’ Time in Milwaukee Up? The Guys Give Their Advice & Perspectives 🗣️🤔 | NBA on TNT

TOGETHER ON ONE TEAM. TNT SPORTS. >> CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT TO START. MEANTIME, SOME NEWS AND NOTES. GIANNIS. ACCORDING TO REPORTS. OPEN MINDED ABOUT EXPLORING A TRADE OFF THE MEAN STREETS OF MILWAUKEE AND DALLAS WINNING THE DRAFT LOTTERY. THEY HAD A 1.8% CHANCE OF GETTING THAT TOP PICK. AND JALEN ROSE WOULDN’T YOU KNOW THEY HEY GOT IT. >> THEY FEEDING A LOT OF CONSPIRACY THEORIES. >> MEANTIME WHEN THAT GIANNIS NEWS CAME OUT THE MAN TO MY RIGHT SAYS DON’T LEAVE GIANNIS COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO’S BEEN THERE WOULD YOU CARE. WOW HOWARD WOULD YOU CARE TO ELABORATE PLEASE. >> WELL WHAT I WANTED TO REALLY TELL HIM TO DO AT THIS MOMENT IS TO REALLY JUST STAY SILENT, STAY STILL AND STAY VIGILANT. I THINK A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU SPEAK TO EARLY IN A SITUATION, IT KIND OF PUTS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON YOURSELF AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO I THINK YOU SHOULD JUST STAY SILENT. THIS IS A BIG DECISION FOR HIM COMING UP. YOU KNOW WHAT HE’S GOING TO DO NEXT IN HIS CAREER. HE’S BEEN IN MILWAUKEE FOREVER. SO, YOU KNOW, JUST LEAVING IS GOING TO LEAVE A SOUR TASTE IN ALL THE FANS MOUTHS. AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND FROM THE SITUATION IN ORLANDO WHAT THAT WOULD FEEL LIKE. SO JUST STAY PUT FOR A LITTLE BIT. >> GIANNIS WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN YOU HEARD THAT THAT STORY. >> SO AS SOMEONE UNLIKE THESE GUYS THAT WASN’T A SUPERSTAR I HAVE A UNIQUE THOUGHT. WHEN I SEE A SUPERSTAR THAT WANTS TO LEAVE, BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU PUT TOGETHER A TEAM, WE BUILD IT AROUND THE STRENGTHS AND THE WEAKNESSES OF THE BEST PLAYER. AND WHEN YOU’RE IN THE LOCKER ROOM, WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR BEST PLAYER, IT’S LIKE WE SUPPOSED TO WIN BECAUSE WE GOT YOU. I KNOW DAME IS OUT AND DAME IS DEALING WITH AN INJURY, AND I KNOW HE’S GOING TO GO SOMEWHERE AND BE SPECTACULAR WHEREVER HE IS. AND I KNOW HE’S BEEN IN MILWAUKEE 12 YEARS AND EVERYBODY WANTS TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. AND THE GOAL IS TO WIN IT EVERY YEAR. BUT GUESS WHAT? YOU DON’T GET TO WIN IT EVERY YEAR. AND I ALWAYS HAD MORE RESPECT FOR THE PLAYERS WHO STAYED WHERE THEY WERE AS HALL OF FAMERS, GREAT PLAYERS, MVP LEVEL PLAYERS AND FOUND A WAY TO GET IT DONE. BLOOM WHERE THEY WERE PLANTED. >> WELL AND 100% AGREE WITH YOU. YOU KNOW, IT BOTHERS ME AND I GET ANNOYED AT PEOPLE ON TELEVISION AND THEY’RE LIKE, WELL, IT’S TIME FOR GIANNIS TO LEAVE MILWAUKEE. I’M LIKE, WAIT, Y’ALL NEVER SAID THEY DON’T GET THEY NOT WINNING. Y’ALL DIDN’T SAY THAT ABOUT ME. Y’ALL DIDN’T SAY IT ABOUT PATRICK EWING. LIKE ALL OF A SUDDEN TODAY’S PLAYERS WE HAVE TO HELP THEM WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. LIKE I’M LIKE YO. WHEN I WAS PLAYING IN PHILLY I REMEMBER GUYS ON TV SAYING THEY’RE WASTING CHARLES BARKLEY’S PRIME. I’M LIKE, NO, MAN. I’M GOING TO KEEP BATTLING BECAUSE THAT’S MY JOB. THE 76ERS. I WANT TO SPEND MY WHOLE CAREER IN PHILLY. I HOPE HE SPENT REGGIE MILLER, I ADMIRE HIM, DIRK NOWITZKI, I ADMIRE HIM. THOSE GUYS, THEY FINALLY GOT IT DONE. BUT THIS NOTION THAT WHEN A GREAT PLAYER, WHETHER HE’S WON IT OR THEY’RE NOT WINNING, HE’S GOT TO MOVE. I’M LIKE, HE DON’T HAVE TO MOVE. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM SPEND HIS ENTIRE CAREER IN MILWAUKEE. DO THEY WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP? THEY WON IT ONE TIME. I HOPE THEY WIN IT AGAIN FOR HIS SAKE. BUT IF THEY DON’T, THIS NOTION THAT, OKAY, WE’RE NOT WINNING HERE, I GOT TO GO. I HATE THAT AND I ALWAYS HATE IT. >> ALL OF THAT BEING SAID, DO YOU THINK MILWAUKEE IS GOING TO TRY TO MOVE HIM? >> WELL, IF I WAS, IF MILWAUKEE, THE FIRST CALL I’D MAKE IS TO DALLAS BECAUSE IF COOPER FLAG GOES TO DALLAS, ARE THEY CONTENDERS NEXT YEAR? NO. THAT’LL BE A GREAT WAY TO START THE MILWAUKEE REBOUND BECAUSE YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT MILWAUKEE JAMES OUT ALL NEXT YEAR BASICALLY TOO. SO YOU’RE LIKE OKAY WE AND THIS WOULD BE A GOOD SITUATION. DAN’S GOING TO BE OUT. WE GET COOPER FLAGG, MAYBE SOME OTHER GOOD YOUNG PLAYER OF SOME DRAFT PICKS. NOW YOU CAN REALLY START YOUR REBUILD BECAUSE YOU’RE GOING TO BE IN THE LOTTERY AGAIN NEXT YEAR TOO. IF YOU GET COOPER FLAGG, SOME DRAFT PICKS, YOU’RE GOING TO BE IN THE LOTTERY AGAIN. AND THEN LIKE I SAY, DAME’S OUT ALL NEXT YEAR, MORE THAN LIKELY. SO WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO START YOUR REBUILD WITH COOPER FLAGG AND SOME DRAFT PICKS? >> I LIKE THAT IDEA, BUT IF I’M DALLAS, I’M KEEPING COOPER. IT’S HE’S A ONCE IN A LIFETIME PLAYER. YOU GOT TO MATCH HIM WITH KYRIE A.D. >> TYRESE OUT ALL PRETTY MUCH NEXT YEAR TOO. OOH I MEAN THAT’S THE THING YOU GOT TO I MEAN YEAH. >> OF COURSE THEY EXPECT HIM BACK. >> WE EXPECT HIM TO. >> COME MID-YEAR. >> BUT HE’S STILL HE’S STILL GOING TO TAKE HIM A WHILE TO YOU DON’T JUST COME BACK TO THE NBA IF HE’S SITTING OUT ALL YEAR. BECAUSE NUMBER ONE ANTHONY DAVIS HEALTH IS A LEGIT QUESTION. BUT IF YOU PUT COOPER FLAGG ON THAT TEAM, THEY’RE NOT GOING TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP NEXT YEAR. I LOVE COOPER FLAGG, BUT A.D. AND COOPER FLAGG HALF THE YEAR WITH KYRIE, THEY’RE NOT GOING TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. BUT IF YOU GIVE ME A.D. GIANNIS AND THEN KYRIE COME IN LATER WE GOT A BETTER TEAM. >> AND AS YOU SAW FROM THE FROM THAT POST THAT WE PUT UP THERE THEY ARE DALLAS EXPECTING NOT TO DEAL THE NUMBER ONE PICK. >> SO THAT’S WHAT WE SAID ABOUT US. >> DIRK TIM. >> DUNCAN WE’RE NEVER LEAVING TNT KOBE. WE’RE NEVER. >> TOUCHE CHUCKSTER. >> JUST SAYING. >> NEVER SAY NEVER. >> BACK TO WRAP THINGS UP IN JUST
