Giannis, AD, Kyrie…Unc, Ocho, & Iso Joe DEBATE trading Cooper Flagg for Greek Freak! | Nightcap

to meet scheduled a meeting about the team direction to meet amid trade rumors. According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, I was told the Bucks made contact with Giannis Ant Takmpo early as this morning and sources relayed to me that a meeting is expected to be scheduled for mid next week. This is where Giannis is going to have his chance to speak with the Bucks Brass and talk about the direction of the team. Giannis responded to a couple of fan questions last night, including the one that asked he was asked his favorite NFL team, Packers, Dallas Cowboys. Do you have a favorite NFL team that would have been uh in the states for a while? And you said the Packers and the Cowboys. So obviously the uh the Packers play in Wisconsin. Milwaukee is in Wisconsin. The Cowboys play in Dallas. Team that’s in Dallas is the Mavericks. Joe, you kind of we discussed that. So tell me what you’re thinking. Uh Joe, this meeting uh I’m sure you probably had meetings. You went, you know, in Phoenix, you ended up from Phoenix, go to Atlanta. Atlanta, you go to the Nets. So, what’s going to take place in a meeting of this magnitude? Man, Giannis probably is going to uh I would say he’s probably going to voice obviously how he feels and and he’s going to ask the direction of this team and what we trying to go or like how can we how can we get better? Um, and if it’s if it’s nothing that appeases him, yeah, I can see him asking for a trade. I can see him asking for a trade. And I’ve said it all along and I know people going to give Nico a lot of flag, but I say you got to package that Cooper flag that that number one pick and go get Giannis, man. I listen. I’m saying that because oo, listen, hear me out. I got you. Go ahead. As a rookie, do I mean I I I think he’s going to be a pretty good player in this league, but as a rookie, I just can’t see him really helping the Mavericks compete for a championship. You go get Giannis, man. Please, you going to be you. I mean, you It’s going to make the the West a lot thicker, but Giannis and AD and Kyrie because in his current situation, Oo, in his current situation, Damon’s not going to be there until 2026, right? That’s if you’re lucky. He probably take the whole year and not play next year and don’t play till 26, 27. So now you’re not Giannis by himself is not coming out of the East and they don’t really have pieces that they can go pair and get somebody to come along with Giannis cuz I don’t know how what’s the draft what the draft compensation look like. They traded, you know, they traded some things to get Dane. Yeah. So what you normally would have you don’t have anymore. So, with that being said, I don’t know what they can tell him that’s going to assure him or make him rest comfortably to say, “You know what? Okay, now Boston, we can challenge Boston. We can challenge the Knicks. We can challenge the Pacers.” Really? You think you can clap the Cavaliers? I don’t I don’t I don’t think the way the Milwaukee Bucks are currently constructed, I don’t believe they’re no better than the what fifth, fourth, fifth best team in right in the East first round exit. Yeah. But but here I got something else for you right now. When we talk about where Giannis might go and some of the questions he was asked on Twitter and this is what I really like about superstar players that actively engage with the fans, right? And this obviously liking the Packers, liking the Cowboys, and trying to put two and two together. So, we can also take a question that was asked to Giannis. Out of all the cities you ever been to, which city made you the happiest to be there, not counting your hometown? And Giannis said Florida cities. Now, we can take that as well as another hint based on what I told you about my meet with Mickey Harrison, right? And Spra and Pat Riley. Now he answered and said Florida cities. Now you know he’s not talking about Orlando. No. And the only other NBA team in Florida is who? Joe. The Heat. Although Orlando, man. Can you imagine what Giannis Bero? Don’t do that. Don’t do that. Don’t do that. Yeah. They better than the Heat with that. Yeah. See how y’all see how I keep trying to give y’all hints. I’m telling y’all what’s going to happen. Y’all not y’all not talking to me. What they going What What the he giving up to get Giannis? Cuz if you got to give up one of your big guns, they ain’t even no point. I mean, what we doing, right? Hold on. You don’t want to give up your big guns, right? But you said they going to give up the big gun that just got drafted number one to go to to go to He’s not proven. He’s not He’s never played in the league. Yeah. I have a question. Is Tyler Herro better than Coopa Flag? Is Tyler Herro better than Cooper Flag? Oh, Tyler Herro. Oh, come on now. It don’t It don’t It don’t take that long. Tyler Herro ain’t going to put Bust in the seat like Cooper Flag. Cooper Flag Cooper Flag is is will be the number one overall pick. People view him as a a generational talent. People don’t view Tyler Herro as that. Now, I’m not saying Tyler. I don’t know what Cooper Flag will be, but I’m saying evaluators, if Cooper Flag and Tyler Herro are in the same draft, who you think going one, Tyler Herro or Cooper Flag? Okay. Okay. I know. I’m I’m I’m understanding what you’re saying, but why? If you understand that he went one for a reason. Yeah. One for But they’re saying, right, but the Dallas Mavericks want to win a championship right now at this minute. They like, “We want to win a championship. The moment they trade Luca, we need to win a championship.” Yeah. What Joe and I are saying, we believe Giannis gets them closer to that than Cooper Flag. There have been only one rookie that really can I mean, you got to go back unsel uh uh uh but West Wes. No, West was he wasn’t MVP as a rookie. But I’m saying you got to go back to Magic Johnson. The question is, you believe Cooper flag Magic Johnson cuz he was the only guy that lead the team to a to a title. Yeah. Listen, as a rookie, I’m I’m not sure he can do it, but I understand what he’s capable of doing. We saw him play at Duke. I understand how special he is. I think he can make a huge difference. Could he get Can he be Giannis? Let’s just say for the sake of argument what Yiannis Ain’t no ain’t nobody going to be giving you 34 35. Well, there you go. In in three in three to four years. Yeah. Cooper flag, he probably going to be something to deal with in the NBA. But his rookie year dealing with that that math team who is looking to win right not now but right now. I understand that. That’s the only thing I’m saying. That’s the only thing I’m saying. I I got you. Listen, I understand what both of y’all saying. Now, I’m trying to give as much information as I can without really spilling the beans. But y’all not listening to me. Y’all not listening to me. So when it actually happens, all I’mma do, I’mma come on the show. I’mma light up my cigar and I’mma say, “I told you so.” That’s it. Cuz y’all you’all be thinking I be lying and playing and capping and all that. And I’m telling you, I sat in the meeting with the power with the power players that run the heat organization and I know what moves are being made. I know what strings are being being pulled behind closed doors. Yeah. Listen, but I for me I I agree with you, Joe. I don’t know. I don’t know what Milwaukee can tell him shorting him short of telling him we got a 30% stake in Harley-Davidson and we’ll give you 15% of it. Other than that, I don’t know. Honestly, honestly, because when you look at the way this team who I mean, what piece can you trade? Dame is injured, an Achilles injury, and I think he’s like what, 32, 33 years of age. Okay, with that being said, and he’s gone for the entire year, what pieces, if I’m not mistaken, what Brook Lopez might be a free agent. You got Bobby Porters. I’m trying to figure out what do you have? You don’t have a whole lot of draft capital because you traded that up to get Dame and you don’t have pieces outside of Giannis. Giannis is going to probably want to leave. So what I can Can I Hey, can I tell you what this meeting is about? Every time football season ended, what do we have? What meeting did we have with the coach at the end of the season? Meeting and that’s what the meeting they already had theirs. They’ve been out the playoff for two weeks. They’ve been had that. I know. I I know. Well, he they fa have listen to have an extra one. I don’t know why they have an extra one because there’s nothing they can do. There’s nothing that they can do in pulling a trade off that can make them a contender and have them not being bounced out the first round again. Giannis is going back in that room. There’s nothing. There’s nothing you can pull. You can’t pull no rabbit out the hat and all of a sudden say, “Listen, Giannis, this is what we can do for our team that’s going to put us in contention. Absolutely nothing.” So, the fact of even having the meeting again about nothing makes no sense. Hey, listen. Uncle Ora, what y’all think about uh Giannis going to the Lakers? For who? That’s you hand up. Yeah, I mean, you going to have to you have to go get a few guys from the G League. You going to have to go That’s what you going to have to have. Jody, they might call you up, Joe. They might call you up. You got you got you got 15 minutes in you. I got 15 to 18 minutes in me. I got that. I got that. I got that. Hey, I I can do that with no problem. Listen, if Giannis listen how Giannis, Giannis, Luca, and LeBron on the same team, every goddamn game for 82 weeks is going to be three on five. Nah, they got they got they got some other guys who can step up and play. They they they can make it work. You get them three on the team, you gonna have to make it work. I tell you what, we said we said, hey, we said the same thing about Bradley Bill, Kevin Durant, and goddamn Devil. No, but they played But Bradley Bill and Deon Booker are the same people. Hey, look. Oo. Uh, uh, the Lakers missing that big. Giannis would be a major piece for them in that. Oh, yeah. Jiannis Giannis play the flow. He boy play the five, the four, the three, the two, and the one. What you talking about? You going Hey, look. He can he can do a multitude of things. I think, you know, he’ll open up your offense and give guys easy buckets. Obviously, he’ll take the pressure off LeBron. He won’t have to do as much. Uh, defensively he’s g he’s gonna Come on, man. Yeah. I just think I just think in the NBA this summer I think we g we gonna see some superstars move around. I agree. And it’s going to be it’s going to be amazing to see. I think it’s going to be good for the league and you know, hey, don’t be surprised. Hey, what you call them try to pull this? You watch Golden State. Golden State will try to Golden State gonna try to get in the mix. Watch. Yeah. Who? Jiannis. Yeah, watch them. What you What you think about Giannis for Kaminga and some picks? I think Golden State got picks. I think they got draft capital, but I think they want I think they want a superstar back in return. Like who? Uh they’re going to want a Cooper flag. They’re going to want they’re going to want a all-star level player. Yeah, I could see that. Like and you know, you said you said superstars. Can can can y’all give me give me two other names or maybe just one other name that might be on the move this offseason? Well, we know Kevin Durant’s gonna leave. Kevin Durant’s moving. KD moving. You know KD, you know KD got a place in Miami, huh? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But uh uh Ishba, you’re going to have to satisfy because of what he gave up to get KD. You’re going to have to satisfy that. And I don’t know if the Knicks have that. Now look, when you start dealing with these superstar players, you have to get multiple teams involved because it’s gonna have to you you’ have to fix, you know, you have the puzzle going have to, you know, fit. Got to make sense. So, you’re going to probably have you you’ll see a lot of three, four teams moving these pieces. But I think this is going to be probably one of the most one of the busiest summers that we’ve seen in a very long time. Hey, but I can tell you what. I can tell you what, Joe. You know, you know the summer’s gonna be very busy, but I can tell you how the season gonna go next year. And I can tell you who coming out the [ __ ] go ahead. Miami Heat. You heard me. You got I’m tell y’all see y’all don’t want to listen. Every time I say something, y’all never want to listen. You said that. You said that about Cincinnati going to make the playoffs. That’s why you owe me 5200. You told me you told me Miami Heat was going to win the going come out to what you call them uh uh uh the play in. I told you we I told you we didn’t make it out the first round because everybody got food poisoning. The whole team had food poisoning. That’s why I lost I don’t know what they got, but they got you in debt. I I’mma pay you 5200, man. I told you I’mma let Justine get my money back. I’m done with it. I’mma send Justine to collect my money. Listen. All right. I’m I’m going to wash off. I’m going to wash off. Yeah. All right. [Music]
