yeah yeah yeah what’s up everybody your boy back in the house i’m in New York City you know this one you know who she is the twins they in the house last time he was very disobedient i didn’t like how he tried to come at me with my anxious we going to see what he do and my boy J he’s in the house one more time this is what we talking about right here the top five destinations for Kevin Durant and Giannis as you see I got two lists it ain’t just one it’s two it’s one for KD it’s one for Giannis give it to me right now give them number five on the bam you keep your KD the Miami Heat they need all the help they can get they need a number one option they could play D tyler Hero no scrub damn no scrub they just need a number one option okay that wasn’t Jimmy Butler we love him but that wasn’t him that’s KD okay and Ross and the whole nine come on now he going to give you 27 tonight 611 with a game now hold on are you rushing me don’t rush me don’t mess up the pace heat kd with Detroit detroit imagine that and Giannis with the heat okay locomotive coming at you that just ain’t top three though give me number three on the list please bam right here the Minnesota Terman i don’t need to explain it further than that giannis in Dallas lord have mercy going to give up one of those bigs but Yiannis with a with a flag with a Kyrie lord have mercy yes I got to look at that this ain’t top two don’t give it to me right now bam both of them the Houston Rockets kd we understand Jaylen Green just ain’t ready he ain’t got that kind of perimeter game okay consistency that’s what you need if you email Udula a number one option your Giannis in Houston that locomotive coming at you with the pieces shagone and those crook and Keith Van Vleet and the boys oh yes Houston would be no joke they both number two with the Rockets and they’re both number one right here give it to me right now bam the New York Knicks knew that was the market knew that was number the Mecca madison Square Garden jaylen Brunson in the house okay keep Anna Noi if you can you can let Bridges go hell if you had to lose call Anthony Towns for him do it you do it yes now him that might be because he’s 30 going 36 years of age you understand what I’m saying i don’t know but I’m very certain about that either way you slice it KD damn it your ass should have been in New York to begin with okay you said I never went to Brooklyn all right you said I never went to Brooklyn look at me guys i want to break I want to break this down and get your reaction to the list but I just want to start with this one because I think it’s interesting kd to the Heat and then Giannis to Boston giannis to Boston could be tough depending upon what you have to give up for Giannis but that’s You going to keep one though you going to keep one you going to keep one who you keeping you going to keep one who you keeping if I I’m keep JT you wasting a year jt yeah you wasting a year a year you’re not letting go wasting a year keep wasting the one I do not like is KD to the Heat and the reason why I don’t like it because what is the heat putting around him not at this stage like what what are they doing like what is what are they actually doing is he gonna win or is he going for the weather and not to get you not to cut you off is that enough my man buckets a little bit because he did not he did you said you said number one i said not I said he’s not really that number one finals he great twice twice love Jimmy Bucket he ain’t K he not come on now rock pass rock can I give you one yeah yo this right here though this got me intrigued that got me in that might have to be higher up that might That might have to be higher up how does that happen that’s bringing me back to old Detroit pieces out of young pieces they got all KD with K with K Cuttingham all those young you understand what I’m saying with Beasley shooting the threes i mean come on now i got to come on now i got to look at that i got the look where are you guys with the Giannis sweep stakes where do you want to see him go i I want to see him go to the Knicks i don’t think there’s no bigger stage there’s no better place to be than in New York in the day in and day out if he’s with the Knicks I’m giving up everybody with him and JB can’t beat this and what about the Rockets i’m not sold on the Rockets i’m not sold on that move i’m not sold on the move i I I don’t know if the young guys with the rockers are really bought into allowing somebody like step in there and be able to be around it it really depends on how you actually structure the team to do it they have the pieces to make more than just one movementally i I don’t think I don’t think I don’t think KD by himself goes to the Rocket i think if he goes someone else mentally here’s my thinking because you had a shot and you got taken out by Golden State particularly in a game seven because of that experience or whatever right whether it’s KD or whether it’s Giannis all of us got to do our job and then we say here right and it’s a wreck that’s what I’m saying you got with with Giannis okay hold on so if we’re saying Giannis to the Knicks where do we want to see KD go well I was going to say I feel like the Knicks have a better shot at getting KD because of what they would have to give up in order to get KD as opposed to what they would have to give up in order to get Giannis i feel like Rockets will give up more to get Giannis and Houston because of the ties to that i’m just talking about I know that but what do you like my personal favorite though what’s your personal favorite minnesota my personal favorite him with Ant-Man some of that Jiannis to the Knicks come on man to the Knicks jiannis got no I’m not mad at all the Heat they need to get somebody yeah but I think they don’t have I think it has to be I think it has to be more than if it’s not more than one move who I think is a rebuild did he Did he Did he get 10 G-League guys and just push what I’m saying to you is this look at how they do it think about think about Tyler Herro and Bam Adabio with a clear number one 27 plus point per night player think about that now what you talking about you talk about defense you talk about culture you talk about roles miami has proven they could capitalize off that they can’t get the number one dude that can give you 27 a night that’s their problem i much rather be with the Celtics or the Knicks in the East or Detroit or you might want to be in Miami trust me but if he is in Miami I say that mold got to change that that that culture has Did y’all hear what I said a few weeks ago i said “Love Pat Riley appreciate him rever the man but ameritus status go upstairs with the owner let Spra take over the Miami Heat because he can go and recruit.” on the play

  1. "I am a Knicks fan, and the No1 destination for either KD or Giannis is the Knicks"……………………………..

  2. Giannis stays in Milwaukee.

    KD to Spurs in 3 way. Spurs get KD. Suns get Sengun, Dillon Brooks (HOU), Harrison Barnes(SA), and #2 pick, Houston gets #14 pick, Sochan(SA), Nick Richards(PHX) and Grayson Allen(PHX).

  3. 2025/2026 season: I Vote for Stephen A as part of the b team for inside the NBA on ESPN and send everyone else to ESPN deportes 😂

  4. Celtics should trade Tatum for Giannis. Bucks can punt this season with dame and Tatum hurt and rebuild for 2027

  5. KD to heat would be good if they didn’t have to make a trade lol. But after the season if they can afford a couple more role players KD and the heat could be legit and play KDs style of ball it’d be perfect more him.

  6. Kd washed he wasn’t the same since Golden State and I’m not giving up young talent for Giannis once you build that wall like teams did in the playoffs he’s not good

  7. Lol showing too much favoritism to his knicks and pistons over spurs is crazy. No star wants to go to Detroit. Also Edwards is my top two current favorite player with Steph, but Jalen green ain’t that far behind edwards respectfully
