Spurs & Mavs SHOULD explore trading top picks for Giannis! | KOC Show

In all likelihood, Dallas drafts Cooper Flag. A number, would you say 100% or are you going like 90%. What What percentage would you give it that Dallas is drafting Cooper Flag in late June? 90. 90. Okay. Where where’s the 10% that you’re Giannis is rumored to be open to exploring other options. So, I think every team should at least kick the tires on that. I do think that other teams have a better offer for Giannis, but if you’re Milwaukee and maybe you feel like want number one, you want number one, you want the guy that is a good transition as far as keeping the fan base excited. Maybe. Sure. I I think I if I’m honest though, I’d rather go to, you know, San Antonio or Houston if it’s one of those three teams from Texas. Personally, I think with Houston, Houston, I mean, Houston younger, I think they, you know, Eime Adoka who he is as a coach and their defense that they have, the established culture, what they’re missing as a go-to scorer and what Giannis could provide. You can see what they could be with you if you’re Giannis. With San Antonio, it’s kind of a a cleaner slate. You you built a legacy in Milwaukee. You built a team up with you as the centerpiece. with San Antonio. They haven’t done anything yet. They have Victor Wbeyama. He’ll always be the guy there. But if you’re Giannis, I think you’d be part of that story as well as another one of the guys there. And in Dallas, I think they’ve tarnished everything. I I think the fan base I’ve never seen a fan base less excited about getting the number one pick in a draft. You think so? Yeah, I think so. I mean, I’m not there. I’ve been here. It’s one of those things where I kind of wish I was here and there just kind of to see the pulse. I think they’re excited. At least online, you know, a lot of the Mavs fans in my life are excited, but also like this is still weird. Yeah. You know, it’s still weird. I I think it it’s not just pure bliss. It’s always pure bliss. It’s not all pure bliss is what I’m saying. I think Oh, I think that is because fans are like I mean they despise Nico. They still want him fired so he doesn’t screw it up. This gives him an extension. this helps him out because like I I go to all the Mass home games and I saw the crowd and the Fire Nico shirts and every time they put somebody on the jumbotron, somebody would lift up their shirt and have another shirt underneath and I think that getting Cooper flag is going to help as far as the season tickets. So, the arena is going to be packed again next year. There’s going to be some buzz and excitement there. And I guess some fans are like Nico got, you know, he got helped out by this a lot. Yeah, I mean he did. He definitely did. I mean ultimately though, we’ll see what happens there. The draft, you know, really starts at two in terms of which players get selected. It will be Cooper one depending on who is there. Likely Dallas. But at two with San Antonio, Dylan Harper, not a fit with Stefan Castle and De’Arren Fox. Like I would not like that fit for Dylan Harper if I’m in his camp. Uh San Antonio is going to be in that Giannis sweep stakes as well. I would expect it’s going to depend on who Giannis signals to that he wants to go there with the team making some significant offer to the Bucks for him. What do you expect to happen at number two with that pick the San Antonio currently has? I’m torn on it. I I agree. I don’t think that is the best fit for for Dylan Harper. I think he’s best with the ball in his hands. So, if I’m him or his camp, I’m like I kind of hope this Milwaukee thing, you know, it happens. But I’m not sure what what they’re going to do. I would definitely explore trading for Giannis. I mean, how often can you get a guy like Giannis to to pair with Wimbeyama? And we didn’t even get a chance to really see I did they even play a game together and Victor. Uh who who was that? Wyama and Fox. You said they they played a few but not penny. A very small amount. Very small amount of games. So yeah, from San Antonio, I’m definitely trying to trying to get Yiannis. I mean, you don’t get a chance. Well, two time MVP. Yeah. I mean, he’s one of the greatest players of all time. top top 20, top 25 all time with a chance to rise significantly champion. Exactly. I’m definitely like trying to to make that move and I think it would be better for for Dylan Harper also. Yeah, I think so as well. For Dylan Harper, it’d be for the best and for Giannis to me like San Antonio is the number one team cuz also the thing with Dallas is Kyrie’s out for most if not all of next year. It’s kind of similar to your Dame situation that you already have with the Bucks. I want to go to a team where I feel like a I can build something and and like have it shaped into, you know, like similar to Milwaukee into your own image. You’re part of building that out. Whereas with Dallas, um yeah, I don’t know. I just I don’t wouldn’t love the vibes there if I’m honest. But then again, I’m biased. I’m speaking only from
